Portada del episodio Karl’s Far right wrong move.

Descripción

One podcast interview has triggered one of the biggest media stories of the year. Channel 9 and Karl Stefanovic have reportedly parted ways following Karl's interview with UK activist Tommy Robinson. But was this really about one podcast... or was it the moment an already changing relationship finally reached its conclusion? Employment lawyer Michael Byrnes joins us to unpack the legal, commercial and reputational questions behind the decision. We discuss whether Australia's biggest television personalities can ever separate their personal brands from their employers, why advertisers often shape these decisions, and whether media companies are becoming increasingly vulnerable to organised pressure campaigns. We also examine what Karl's reported departure could mean for his new partnership with Eddie McGuire and ARN, and why this story may have implications well beyond one presenter. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Case Closed? Lawyer Michael Byrnes Explains the Kyle Settlement and Jackie’s Next Move

After months of court filings, subpoenas, hearings and speculation, the biggest legal story in Australian radio has taken a dramatic turn: Kyle Sandilands and ARN have settled. A few weeks ago, workplace relations lawyer Michael Byrnes told us that most disputes like this end in settlement. This week, he joins us to explain why he was right. What does a settlement like this actually look like behind closed doors? Why is every word in the agreement negotiated so carefully? What would ARN have been demanding? What would Kyle have been fighting for? And will we ever know the true financial cost of ending one of radio's biggest disputes. Michael Byrnes takes us inside the settlement process, the strategy, the leverage points and what could happen next in one of the most closely watched media disputes in Australia. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
