Kyle Sandilands Biography
From Wikipedia
Kyle Sandilands (born 10 June 1971 in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia) is an Australian radio host, best known for hosting the weekend radio program, Hot 30 Countdown, with Jackie O. He and Jackie O now host their own breakfast program, The Kyle and Jackie O show.
In 2005, he replaced Ian "Dicko" Dickson as one of Network Ten's Australian Idol judges, for its third series.
He is the boyfriend of pop singer Tamara Jaber.
Popularity
In the June 2005 Australian radio survey, the 2Day FM breakfast slot hosted by Sandilands and Jackie O slipped to sixth place, losing nearly two percentage points.
As of that survey, the Sandilands/Jackie O program has 7.8 per cent of the radio audience.
Controversy
Sandilands radio career has been dogged with controversies, many of them encouraged by Sandilands himself who delights in playing the enfant terrible of Australian radio.
In 2004 an on-air argument with band Frenzal Rhomb erupted because Sandilands' co-host Jackie O had turned up several hours late for a concert and the band deliberately played over her on-stage appearance. It ended with Sandilands threatening to have their music banned from the playlist of his station, and its sister stations. (transcript, MP3)
In 2005 his relationship with Tamara Jaber was the subject of an accusation of conflict of interest because Sandilands' station in general, and program in particular, gave Jaber's single (released on a record label owned by Sandilands himself, King Kyle Records) noticeably wide airplay, while it was largely ignored by every other mainstream radio outlet in Australia.
In 2005 he was accused of encouraging inhumane animal culling when he encouraged an Australian Idol contestant to simulate the hunting and killing of a feral pig, prompting accusations that her demonstration depicted an inhumane method of killing the pigs.
