Shock jock Kyle Sandilands has been thrown yet another lifeline from radio network Austereo despite two suspensions in the past two months.He remains suspended until October 7, three weeks into the new ratings period, while he attends external counselling.
Austereo chairman Peter Harvie said in a statement today: "2Day FM advises that Kyle Sandilands will remain suspended without pay until 7th October 2009. The period of the suspension will therefore be four weeks, of which one week has already been served. The pay penalty will be directed by 2Day FM to community charitable causes. In addition Kyle Sandilands will attend external counselling. 2Day FM has taken into consideration Sandilands's concern and remorse for statements made."
The controversial co-host of The Kyle and Jackie O Show on 2Day FM met Harvie and other executives in a private boardroom on level 5 of the Sheraton On The Park hotel in Sydney this morning.
Sandilands left the meeting alone about 11.45am, refusing to answer any questions.
"They're all still in there though," he said, referring to Austereo management.
When asked whether he still had a job with the Austereo network, Sandilands said: "I can't make any comment at all".
Mr Harvie and two other men left the meeting about half an hour later.
Mr Harvie would not comment on what was discussed during the meeting but said a statement would be released at 1pm.
Sandilands appeared relaxed as he walked out in navy blue blazer and jeans, thanking hotel staff for their time.
Sandilands has been pulled off air twice in two months following comments he made on the daily breakfast radio segment he co-hosts with Jackie Henderson.
The most recent was suggesting comedian Magda Szubanski should spend time in a concentration camp to lose more weight.
