Kyle and Jackie O boss Duncan Campbell fights allegations he punched a man in the face and hit him with a knife sharpener
A high-profile radio executive who oversees Kyle and Jackie O’s show is fighting accusations that he punched a man in the face and assaulted him with a weapon.
Duncan John Campbell appeared in Sydney Downing Center Local Court on Thursday after pleading not guilty to two charges of common assault, being armed with intent to commit an indictable offense and destroying property.
The Australian Radio Network’s chief content officer is said to have invited the man to his Sydney apartment after attempting to resolve their ongoing issues.
Instead of settling their differences, police allege the 59-year-old attacked the man with an 8-inch knife sharpener.

Mr Campbell is a senior director of ARN, which owns and operates several popular radio stations in Australia, including KIIS FM, with the Kyle and Jackie O show, and WSFM.
He allegedly punched the victim several times on the back, hands and leg before relenting.
The younger man went to hospital several days later, leading to a police investigation into the alleged domestic violence attack.
Campbell was one of more than 640 people arrested in a major police operation targeting perpetrators of domestic violence across the state.
