Shock jock Kyle Sandilands walked off his hit radio show on Friday morning, with the Australian presenter saying he might boycott his own show after a major fallout with the station.
Sandilands and his cohost Jackie O were interviewing Alan Jones when all of a sudden they were dumped live on-air.
The trio were talking about Sandilands and Jones’ infamous meltdowns when a prerecorded announcement cut them off.
“This station you’ve been listening to has been dumped, it means someone said something inappropriate and they are getting in trouble, the broadcast will return in seconds,” a voice said.
When Kyle and Jackie O returned the pair seemed confused about why they were dumped.
“The show got dumped by censors. The censors’ job here at the show (is to dump) when someone drops the f-bomb or the c-bomb or says anything that might land someone in legal trouble,” Sandilands said.
“If it’s a beep it’s fine, if it’s a dump, then it’s a different story altogether,” Jackie added.
The pair were then beeped out as they try to explain what happened.
“It wasn’t a big deal as far as I’m concerned,” Sandilands says in between the beeping.
“I’m still confused as to why we were dumped… I’m not sure what’s going on in this situation,” Jackie adds.
The new dad then reveals he’s spoken to his lawyer who has advised him to pull himself off the air.
“I’m turning the microphone off…just until we all know what’s going on here…it’s a mess… I’ll be back Monday and if I’m not back Monday you’ll know that it didn’t work well for me.”
The pair both left their show early, with a fill-in presenter left to take over for them.
A spokesperson for ARN, who is the partner company for KIIS, has released a statement on the matter.
“Kyle was upset about a segment that was dumped this morning and decided to give himself and the team an early mark. The guys are back Monday from 6am,” the spokesperson said.
