Kyle and Jackie O Owner Fails to Rein ‘Vulgar, Offensive’ Content Says Watchdog
The Australian Communications and Media Authority found 12 breaches of decency codes on the Kyle and Jackie O Show, citing systemic issues and failure by owner ARN to control content.
- On Wednesday, the Australian Communications and Media Authority found seven breaches of the Commercial Radio Code on KIIS 101.1 Melbourne and KIIS 106.5 Sydney last year, saying The Kyle and Jackie O Show aired vulgar, sexually explicit and deeply offensive content.
- Investigators found breaches included two episodes of urination guessing game segments and broadcast segments discussing masturbation and pornography.
- ACMA's report shows three decency breaches on KIIS 101.1 and four on KIIS 106.5, plus two complaint-handling breaches for failing to respond within 30 days this year.
- As a result, ARN faces enforcement actions from ACMA because it appears unwilling or unable to rein in its star presenters, risking fines or licence penalties.
- Proposed reforms would give ACMA broader powers to act without prior direction, amid critics calling ACMA 'all bark, no bite' and advertisers abandoning ARN during a ratings slump.
