Radio hosts sue former employer over collapsed contract dispute

Kyle Sandilands and Jackie "O" Henderson are suing their former employer ARN after their radio contract fell apart. The two were co-hosts at KIIS FM, and their deal was worth around $10 million a year. The pair split after disagreements over the terms and duties in their contract.

A court has allowed ARN to use documents from Sandilands and his manager as evidence in the case. Those documents showed that the two hosts had a tense conversation several months before they stopped working together.

The dispute raises serious questions about contract obligations in the Australian media industry. With such large sums of money involved, the case has drawn wide attention from people working in broadcasting.
