Citing insensitive remarks made on air, radio network Austereo has stood down 2Day FM shock-jock Kyle Sandilands for a second time this month.
Austereo management is concerned the network will lose its lock on women aged 16-25 if its breakfast star continues to break all the rules.
Audience research shows that the women are uninterested in listening to a self-confident badboy shock guests and listeners alike with his free-spiritedness.
The shock jock’s most recent gaffe involved making light of concentration camps, a lapse that could cost the station its enormous audience of elderly Jews who listen to pop music and celebrity gossip between 6 and 9am.
Sandilands has been suspended from the show for 10 days, while station bosses investigate how a fat guy got the balls to pay out other fat people on air.
As a result of the furore, 2Day FM may introduce a delay to the show that allows objectionable content to be deleted from the broadcast. The delay could last an industry-standard seven seconds, or even the 24 hours required to see whether the rest of the media gives a shit today.
The Daily Grind understands that Austereo management is also considering dumping breakfast co-host Jackie O after discovering that her sole contribution to breakfast radio in the past 10 years has been getting interrupted and saying “oh, Kyyyyyle.”
