He didn't go.

He was recording from home.

Doesn't give a crap.

And Jackie plays along because that's how you have to do radio.

Yeah, and that seems to be the line you don't cross.

It's like he can comment on her appearance, he can comment on her love life, he can comment on her sex life, anything, but actually her professionalism is one place that he doesn't usually go.

So what happened immediately after that?

When the news broke about Jackie walking out and not being on air, we talked about it in our meeting and we were trying to decide whether to cover it at that time because this kind of thing has happened a bit and we didn't know where it was going to end up.

But then on Tuesday this week, ARN, the network they're with, released a statement.

And it read, Jacqueline Henderson has given notice that she cannot continue to work with Mr Kyle Sanderlands.

It went on to say that ARN has terminated their contract with her and she will cease to present the show, but they've offered her the possibility of an alternative show on the network.

Then it went on to say that ARN have provided written notice to Sanderlands that it considers his behaviour during the segment an act of serious misconduct, which is in

breach of his contract.

And he's been given 14 days to remedy the breach.

And if it's not remedied, his contract will be terminated.

And for those 14 days, he won't be on the show.

So the Kiss Breakfast show, aka the most lucrative show in Australian radio, has been taken off air.

You often get this in media.

But there has been, like, in January 2025, Jackie O did a Stella interview and she talked about the boys' club in media that makes women feel like they don't matter.

And her talking about this stuff, and it was kind of tied to promotion of her book, which came out late 2024.
