Sandilands and Jackie O 'back on air'
Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O are returning to their morning radio show jobs next week after a two-week suspension, it has been reported.

The DJs caused outrage after hooking a 14-year-old rape victim up to a lie detector before helping her mother quiz her about her sexual history live on air.

A spokesperson for 2DayFM told The Daily Telegraph: "The station has implemented new structures and systems in relation to the use of time delay, pre-recording and procedures dealing with interviews, to avoid a repetition of the occurrence."

Austereo chairman Peter Harvie added: "The 7 second delay is a system that has what is called a dump button and so if anything untoward takes place within the immediate period it can be handled by dumping it."

Although Sandilands managed to keep his radio job, bosses at Channel Ten fired him from his judging role on Australian Idol.
