Kyle Sandilands suffered humiliation and loss of reputation when Kiis FM sacked him from his top-rating radio show for serious misconduct, according to documents filed in the federal court.

Sandilands and his co-host, Jackie “O” Henderson, have commenced separate legal action against the Kiis FM licensee, Commonwealth Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), which terminated them both a year after they signed separate 10-year contracts for the Kyle and Jackie O breakfast show. It was supposed to run until 31 December 2035 but their services were terminated last month.
