The Kyle And Jackie O Show is DUMPED from the airwaves after swearing incident

The Kyle and Jackie O Show was pulled from the airwaves on Wednesday following a swearing error and a subsequent technical malfunction. 

Co-hosts Kyle Sandilands and Jackie ‘O’ Henderson were interviewing comedian Jim Jefferies live on the show when things went awry.

The segment, which also featured a cameo from a regular caller known as Aaron the Harmonica Boy, jolted to a halt at around 9.30 as the broadcast was dumped. 

Listeners heard a seven-second tone before a prerecorded voiceover said: ‘The station you’ve been listening to has been dumped.’

‘This means someone has said something inappropriate and is currently getting in trouble. The broadcast will return in seconds.’ 

Dumping’ is radio terminology for when a live show is cut off because the broadcast delay (usually around 45 seconds) is insufficient to censor inappropriate content. 

When the show returned, Henderson joked that Jefferies was ‘never allowed back on the show again’ after saying something ‘filthy, disgusting and revolting’. 

In truth, the whole incident was caused by a major technical failing. 

Henderson explained that she’d pressed the censor when Sandilands told Harmonica Boy to ‘eff off’, but the ‘bleep button got stuck’, causing the show to be dumped. 

She also revealed the show would now be broadcast live, without its usual seven-second delay. 

‘There’s no delay anymore, guys, so I’m very nervous with both Jim and Kyle, live,’ she joked.

The Kyle and Jackie O Show airs weekdays from 6am on KIIS 106.5 in Sydney.
