So only after the show ends does the regulator actually do something 🤷♂️
Weak as piss!
“There was also a game where a contestant provided an offensive description of a sexual position and a segment which contained lewd discussions about masturbation and pornography websites.
The show aired between 6am and 10am on weekdays.”
wtf? How absolutely immature and desperate for content. It’s not creative, exciting, or anything at all to do with good listening. How gross. Maybe funny back in the 90s. Think they need to read the room.
Has anyone seen the regulator’s horse? I think it bolted.
20 years too late
Boring.
I just came across these two through AFR reporting on the ASX announcement surrounding their contract. They sound like absolute pigs – but what’s more upsetting is that they had an audience backed by multi-million dollar contracts.
May they never return to public broadcasting.
Out of principal I think I’m going to downvote all articles on these clowns so they can finally die.
They’re really going the distance now to get these two trash bags some final attention. Can we put them out and forget about them already?
Clearly the regulator needs regulating when they’ve sat on their arse doing nothing for 20+ years.
Non-zero chance ARN has known this was coming for a while, even if just by educated guess.
Would rather the regulator slapped them..
better late than never really doesn’t cut it here. ffs!
So not only have they done this *way* too late, but the licence conditions are basically just “If you do it again, you’ll actually get in trouble for it”.
So basically, it took ACMA two decades to get around to doing… Absolutely fuck-all.
The ACMA really breakout out the warm lettuce to give ARN a good thrashing.
Why not just revoke their licence and be done with it?
Everyone bagging the regulators timing here are missing one important fact: the easiest time to kick someone is when they are down! /s
In other news, the German government has issued a stern warning to all those people who worked as guards in Dachau during World War 2 that if they run a concentration camp again, they will be told in no uncertain terms that they should not do that.
$200 million later!
I wonder if they wonder why we don’t take “regulators” seriously.
Slaps?!?
Even Will Smith slaps harder than then ACMA
Man I sure hope Kyle starts a podcast and no-one listens 🤣
Regulator after how many years of awful content “pweese don’t do it again”. Slapped with a wet lettuce? Tis the Australian way 🥬
Somehow, I was able to tolerate Jackie O and her ex-husband, “Ugly” Phil O’Neil hosting the old chart shows back in the day on 2Day FM, but… once Kyle got involved…. Nope. I could never see the appeal at all. I found him neither funny nor entertaining.
Wet lettuce leaf
it could be a huge out for them, might give them a legal justification to cancel the contracts
Stable doors closed after horses bolt – TIFIFY
good, we might finally get rid of this shit once and for all.
The ACMA are just total clowns. At this rate they’re going to address the events of 2 weeks ago in about another year or so lmao.
That’s perfectly fine in all regards, the listeners are responding by continuing to complain, send alerts about the duo’s behaviour to MFW, and boycotting the K&J show altogether, even if the pair do end up on-air elsewhere. I mean, seriously.
