Kyle & Jackie O finalists in radio awards
A Kyle & Jackie O Show segment called Heartless Hotline is a finalist at the Australian Commercial Radio Awards.
The challenge saw people with a hard luck story coming on the air. They got to keep money or a prize prize if nobody phoned in to take it off them. The programme is currently suspended after a 14-year-old girl blurted live on air out that she had been raped.
The Heartless Hotline – which is credited in the shortlist to promotions staffer Chrissie Maus – is a finalist in the best station promotion category of the awards. Among the people featured on Heartless Hotline who had money or prizes taken away from them were:
- A woman whose partner died and she had been unable to leave her home;
- A woman whose partner had left her with a young daughter and needed help building a new life;
- A computer game from a boy with a development disorder;
- A woman who needed gastric band surgery
Meanwhile, Kyle & Jackie O are finalists in several categories of the awards, including for the title of best on air team. The Austereo show’s newsreader Geoff Field is a finalist in the best news presenter category. And 2Day FM’s Derek Bargwanna is a finalist for the title of best program director. The national version of their show – The Hour of Power is up for best networked show.
The awards – which are judged by industry insiders across 32 different categories – are presented in Sydney on October 10. The finalist lists, drawn up by by state panels, were created before the current controversy. The final round of judging is currently taking place.
Mix 106.5’s Sonia Kruger and Nova’s Ryan Shelton are among the best newcomer nominees.
And Ray Hadley, Derryn Hinch and Neil Mitchell are among those in the race for best talk presenter. The trio are all also in the race for best current affairs commentator.

MADC books Corey. Bill Henson trawls primary school to find 12 year old girl to model nude. Channel 9 runs world’s best commercials typr program featuring presenter who says “Let’s watch some fucking commercials”. TV stations run music clips for kids on morning tv with content so suggestive they wouldn’t be allowed to run until after 9:30 if they were commercials [which they technically are]. Sorry, ladies and gentlemen, but Kyle and Jackie O are what you get when no-one bothers about standards anymore. I hate what they did, but as a parent, I wish all the people crying for their blood were as worried about all the other age-inappropriate crap that masquerades as entertainment. Or is just me?

No tree-hugger… it’s not just you.
Here’s just a few observations from my often absurd & wonderful journey around the world of advertising.
Sitting in a rich wood paneled office looking out 36 floors above the bridge & opera house pitching ideas to encourage people to gamble online…”Now you can lose your house without leaving home” was a headline I didn’t present.
Working on a tobacco brand in the morning and an anti smoking campaign in the afternoon. Winning Gold awards for tobacco ads with a creative partner who is a staunch anti-smoker.
And while we’re on smoking, does anyone else think it’s a crime far beyond Kyle that you can easily buy a product that if used to the manufacturers specifications will kill you? And if that’s permissible in society, why is euthanasia not? Why is tobacco advertising banned but alcohol & gambling advertising allowed to saturate our lives?
Now I’m not for a moment regretting one single brand or client that I’ve ever worked on. I’ve loved every minute of my ride in the circus & I’d love to work on a beer brand. I’ll work on any product that’s legally allowed to be sold. Except the Liberal party (even I have standards!) I’m just agreeing with tree-hugger that we live in a strange & conflicted place, and that focusing on the stupid actions of one boofhead can allow other equally strange things that surround us to pass by unnoticed.
It may be unfashionable to some, but I love Bill Henson’s work.
I agree that Kyle is what you get when nobody bothers about standards anymore, but I’m incredibly wary of anyone who thinks they should decide what those standards are. Especially if they buy one of the many brands of God that are for sale.
But I’ll stop now. I need a cup of tea : )

Totally agree with you tree-hugger.
During the time of the on-air lie detector “stunt”, Kyle and Jackie O/2DayFM were promoting a contest to find Sydney’s “Smallest” Man (I think you all know what small they are talking about). Why is this amusing/entertaining by any standards?
If people want to humiliate themselves on air (remembering this is a VISUAL stunt on an AUDIO medium – when will radio learn that visual humour and stunts cannot be viewed on the radio!?!?!?) then they are entitled to be stupid. But don’t do it in the popular media, put it on youtube for fools to view.
Why as the ACMA not made it mandatory that all radio stations have a delay in broadcasting? Kyle claims he will not work with one…sorry to tell you champ but that decision backfired big time.
Tonight ACA is going to do an exclusive interview with the mother and daughter at the centre of the radio controversy. You just know that’s going to backfire big time!
Also if you want a laugh and you are on facebook, look at the group “BRING KYLE SANDILANDS BACK!!” [http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=245884435225]
There are currently 16,144 members (or better known as sorry sad people who need some brain cells)

The reason why they were searching for Sydney’s smallest penis was that Austereo had already found the biggest – and had given it a radio show…

Exactly C K Cash. If it was an abuse of a minor on Kyle and Jackie O’s show, surely its an abuse of a minor to have the mother and daughter on ACA.

If the industry is unable to regulate itself this is what happens.
The responsibility is either with the station first, regulator second, or listener third. And the listener shouldn’t have to turn off to get away from poor taste broadcasting. Radio can be a great medium, but it seems to be missing the sentiments of the public.
On the launch of digital radio, the major radio stations have an opportunity to get their house in order from a public and advertisers pov.

Speaking of digital radio, I’m sure the Government and the industry will drag their feet on that one like Digital TV and make a mess of it. How botched was digital TV when launched originally…very. Yeah yeah the radio industry had that thing last week..nothing exciting

Hey Adam … extremely funny, but you were speaking metaphorically weren’t you? Based on some ‘celebrity spotting’ in the gents at last years awards. I’d have to say that the clear cut winner was sitting at the desk opposite Jackie O.

Talking of standards, just seen the lead story on ninemsn – Miley Cyrus’ pole dancing performance at the Teens Choice Awards in the USA. I’m sure the parents of all her 8 and 9 y.o girl fans were be thrilled.
