ARN Media has struck a deal with Kyle Sandilands to settle legal action over the termination of his contract to co-host the breakfast show on KIIS FM. The listed company has agreed to pay him $5m per annum over three years; he had been seeking $85m in compensation from ARN for ending his 10-year contract to jointly host the ‘Kyle and Jackie O’ show after not much more than a year. Sandilands had been sacked earlier in 2026 over an on-air falling-out with long-running co-host Jackie Henderson, who is in turn seeking $82m in compensation for the loss of her own contract.
