Advertisers pull plug on 'rape row' radio
Published Wednesday, Aug 5 2009, 10:55 BST | By Rebecca Davies
Radio station 2DayFM caused outrage last week after broadcasting breakfast show hosts Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O questioning a 14-year-old rape victim.
One of the ex-advertisers American Express released a statement saying: "American Express has taken the decision to remove advertising from the 2DayFM website, as recent past and current content on the site do not reflect our brand values."
Optus and Qantas have also cancelled their financial support of the show and the website.
