ACMA to Investigate Kyle Sandilands

ACMA to Investigate Kyle Sandilands – “The ACMA is investigating a complaint about Kyle Sandilands’ remarks on radio on November 22,” said spokesman Blake Murdoch.

“The results of that investigation will be made available in due course.”

Sandilands caused outrage last year when he used his top-rating breakfast show on Sydney’s 2DAY FM to abuse a News Limited journalist who wrote a story about him that he didn’t like, calling her a “fat slag” with “little titties” who needed to “shut her mouth”.
An ACMA spokesman said the authority was looking at whether the comments had breached the Commercial Radio Standards.

The listener backlash against Sandilands caused a mass exodus of advertisers and sponsors from the show, costing station owner Southern Cross Austereo an estimated $10 million at least and leading to speculation he would be fired.

But in an interview to be published tomorrow in The Weekend Australian Sandilands laughs off the rumours.
