The Kyle & Jackie O Hour of Power won Best Networked Program and Kyle was named Best Entertainment Presenter.
“As much as I’d love to go on and on about how wonderful Jackie and I are, what’s being introduced at Commercial Radio Hall is our chemistry,” Kyle said of the pair’s win.
“Chemistry is one of those things you either have or you don’t, and it can never be faked. Even 22 years ago, when Jackie and I first started working together, I knew we had something unique and special,” he added.

“Thank you Commercial Radio and Audio for recognizing our partnership.”
Jackie chimed in: ‘Kyle and I both live and breathe radio and we feel so blessed to do this for a living, it never feels like a job, it feels like just hanging out with your best friend every day.
“Not many people can say that they wake up every day excited to come to work, but in radio that’s how it is, you’re encouraged to have fun, be creative and most importantly, just be yourself.

“I really feel like we’re both so lucky to do what we do – and we never take that privilege for granted.”
In typical Kyle fashion, as Jackie, 47, thanked her friends and family, her shock jock colleague, 51, couldn’t help but shame his “best friend” in his own acceptance speech.
After speaking out about his fiancée Tegan Kynaston, he went on to say that Jackie was his “best buddy” but that he could never have sex with her because “she’s been piling up the pounds.”

“As much as I’d love to go on and on about how wonderful Jackie and I are, what’s being introduced at Commercial Radio Hall is our chemistry,” Kyle said of the pair’s win.
“I thought Jackie was my best buddy, but obviously there won’t be any sex because like she’s piled on the pounds,” he said, shocking the crowd.
He soon fell into damage control as the public had a mixed reaction to his comment.
‘Like me. It’s very even here,” he added. “We’re both fat now. We’ve always laughed at all the fat guys on the radio and now we’re the fat guys.’

He ended by telling Jackie that he loved her and that she was “amazing” before refusing to thank “someone in management.”
The success comes after a controversial period for the radio hosts.
Kyle unleashed on his own station last month in an eight-minute diatribe after what he deemed a numbness by the company’s publicity team.

In September, the radio host said the PR department of KIIS FM’s parent company, ARN, should have issued a press release highlighting the milestone in his show’s ratings. .
“I’m tired of working here,” Sandilands snapped live into the air.
“Everyone is a loser, except everyone on this show. Anyone outside of this show is a huge loser. I do not make a joke.’

He added: ‘They have no idea. This whole station couldn’t take root in a brothel with a wheelbarrow full of money and a grin. They wouldn’t know, they wouldn’t have sex. They are too stupid. imbeciles.
“I’m sick of this joint hiring idiots to set things up and then it takes a year for them to find out that this guy is an ad**khead and he needs to be fired. Down with the flops. I should be running this whole joint.’
He later apologized and told Daily Mail Australia that ‘there is no problem’.

“This is the best networking I’ve ever worked for,” he says.
‘I still speak to the CEO regularly. It’s not like he’s in an ivory tower somewhere. We’re all on the same floor.’
‘It’s going well there. But I occasionally vomit. I do expect all employees to do their utmost every day.’

He adds, “I still go with it the old-fashioned way of yelling and carrying on. There are no dramas there. They know I’m an asshole sometimes.
“But they also know that when it comes down to it, they will come to me if there is a problem, even in their private or work lives. They know I’m behind them. So it’s like that grumpy old uncle. Uncle Kyle.’
Sandilands and his radio co-host received the ultimate honor in radio after being inducted into the Commercial Radio Hall of Fame.
‘I do it about 35 [years], 22 with Jackie. I burned everyone else over the years until I found her,” he told the Daily Mail Australia. Together in the picture in 2004
‘I always thought this’ [award] was reserved for the old-timers’, he says.
“And then someone reminded me that I’m 51, I’m actually a vintage car, which is shocking because I have a 10-week-old kid. So I guess I left a little late for everything else except early at this price.”
Delighted with the honor, Sandilands looked back on his decades-long career and admits he couldn’t have done it without Henderson.
