Sandilands 'didn't use on-air delay'

Embattled 2Day FM radio host Kyle Sandilands didn’t use the seven-second on-air delay switch installed following his previous controversy, it has been revealed.

Earlier this week, Sandilands came under attack from the media and Jewish groups after commenting that Kath & Kim actress and Jenny Craig spokeswoman Magda Szubanski - who has lost 25kg - could lose more weight if she entered a concentration camp.

The remark saw Sandilands suspended from his top-rating breakfast radio programme for the second time in five weeks.

2Day FM general manager Adam Lang conceded that the seven-second delay button "should have been used".

"In this case, the reaction time wasn't fast enough," he said. "We have added resources to the team to avoid this in future, which we sincerely hope doesn't happen again."

Meanwhile, Lang wouldn't comment on whether the station planned to sack the controversial shock jock, saying: "Our concern is to make it clear that the comments he made were completely unacceptable. Everything else will be discussed when we speak to Kyle in person."

Last month, Sandilands was sacked from his lucrative judging role on Australian Idol after a lie detector stunt on his radio show ended in controversy.
