The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has found comments made during broadcasts of the Kyle & Jackie O Show breached decency rules under the Commercial Radio Code of Practice (the Code).

Following a listener complaint relating to a 7 June 2024 broadcast of the program, the ACMA opened investigations into Commonwealth Broadcasting Corporation Pty Ltd (KIIS 1065) and Double T Radio Pty Ltd (KIIS 1011), the licensees that air the program in Sydney and Melbourne respectively.

The investigations found that the two segments referred to in the complaint included explicit sexual content and content that included sustained and vulgar graphic sexualised descriptions.

ACMA Chair Nerida O’Loughlin said the segments would be considered offensive to any reasonable person listening to the broadcast and were not in line with broader community standards.

“This content went beyond the bounds of decency expected by the community and was done so deliberately and provocatively,” Ms O’Loughlin said.

“Even having two program censors employed by the broadcaster in place following previous ACMA enforcement action, this has not stopped occurrences of unsuitable content going to air,” Ms O’Loughlin said.

Double T Radio has also been found to have breached the Code for not responding to a listener complaint within 30 days of receipt.

“Complaints are an essential part of Australia’s co-regulatory broadcasting system as they provide a reliable avenue for the public to put their concerns directly to the broadcaster,” Ms O’Loughlin said.

“Failing to respond to complaints in the required timeframe undermines the effectiveness of the co-regulatory system.”

On 7 February 2025 the ACMA opened two further investigations into concerns around a range of content brought to the ACMA’s attention into the program’s compliance with the Code. These investigations will consider possible systemic issues in relation to the decency and complaint handling provisions.

The ACMA will consider enforcement action for breaches found in the 7 June broadcast once those additional investigations are finalised.

As triple j ushers in their 50th year, they have demonstrated age is only a number by delivering strong results in GfK Survey 1 released today.

Across the 5 capital city markets, triple j added 296k more weekday listeners and 218k more weekend listeners.

Sydney was a standout where the network saw a +0.9% overall share increase driven by a +3.9% jump in the 18-24 target demo.

Breakfast with Concetta and Luka is reaching 840,000 listeners across the 5 capital cities, an increase of 115,000 survey on survey. In Sydney, Breakfast saw a +1.3% increase for their program.

These results came despite much of the triple j Hottest 100 campaign sitting outside the survey period this year.

Head of triple j, Double J & ABC Country, Lachlan Macara, said: “It’s nice to see these GfK numbers reflect the massive impact triple j’s already had across socials to start the year. Like A Version’s alone during this survey period have racked up 33+Million views across triple j’s TikTok, Instagram and YouTube channels.”

Votes in the Hottest 100 were up 5% on last year with a massive 2.49m total votes counted. Over 70% of voters were under 30, showing the continued impact triple j and the Hottest 100 has on its target demographic.

With almost 2 million subscribers to the triple j YouTube account and 320k on TikTok, triple j is undoubtably the most impactful youth media brand in the country across platforms. The triple j Instagram account also clocked a massive milestone last week by joining the 1 million followers club.

On Tuesday, triple j announced the date and line up for the 2025 One Night Stand. The event will take place on Saturday 24 May at a location to be announced at 4pm AEDT today.

The all-Australian line-up features Spacey Jane, LUUDE, singer-songwriter Ruby Fields and award-winning hip hop supergroup 3% and a huge set from a local triple j Unearthed competition winner.

Tickets for triple j’s One Night Stand will be on sale at 5pm AEDT today after the location is revealed on triple j.

The GfK results for triple j form part of a strong GfK result for the ABC in survey 1. Across the 5 capital cities, the ABC’s total network audience has increased to 4,623,000 up 391,000 listeners when compared to survey 8 2024.

Commercial Radio & Audio (CRA) welcomes GfK’s latest Survey 1 results which highlighted the commercial radio sector’s continued growth, now reaching a record-breaking total audience of 12.5 million Australians.

The 25-54 age group, critical for advertisers, expanded by 4.3% year-on-year (YOY), adding 258,000 listeners to reach 6.2 million. Younger audiences also demonstrated growth, with listeners aged 10-17 rising by 5.3%, adding 75,000 new listeners to reach 1.5 million.

In-car listening remains a pivotal platform, increasing by 6.5% YOY with 634,000 additional listeners, now reaching 10.3 million Australians weekly.

Notably Survey 1 also highlighted over 3.1 million Australians choose to listen to commercial radio via streaming. Time spent listening via digital streaming remained stable across the day. Among key demographics, compared to the same period last year:

• Time spent listening among 18-24s grew to 3 hours per week.
• Listening among 40-54s reached 5 hours weekly.
• Listeners 65+ saw an increase, streaming for 8 hours weekly.

“Radio’s consistent and sustained growth underscores its enduring role in keeping 12.5 million Australians informed and connected demonstrating the importance of live and local radio,” said Lizzie Young, CEO of Commercial Radio & Audio (CRA).

“Radio offers unique opportunities for advertisers and provides a direct path for brands to connect with audiences through trusted voices,” added Young.
