Australia’s most listened to radio show has breached decency standards, the media watchdog has found. The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) launched a formal investigation into the Kyle and Jackie O show after receiving a listener complaint in June. It has now found segments of the show – hosted by Kyle Sandilands and Jackie ‘O’ Henderson – “would be considered offensive to any reasonable person listening to the broadcast”. Today, we’ll explain everything you need to know about this investigation, where it came from, what it found, and what it means for the popular breakfast radio duo.
Hosts: Emma Gillespie and Zara Seidler
Producer: Orla Maher
