Three stories from the not too distant past that were locked and have now been set free

Vile Kyle has last laugh over Sackers
 
Comment from Peter Saxon. Along with his adoring fans, Kyle Sandilands also has his fair share of detractors – not least of which, the good folk who operate the SackVileKyle site. Remember them?
They, along with some 35,000 petitioners on change.org, were determined to have Kyle sacked after making his now infamous remarks regarding a 14 year old rape victim, a News Ltd journalist and
 a deformed Ethiopian baby.

Letting Kyle and Jack go was not SCA’s only problem
 
Last week, in a column in the Daily Telegraph former 2Day FM breakfast presenter Wendy Harmer suggested that Chairman Max Moore-Wilton and the Southern Cross Media Board of Directors were to blame for letting Kyle and Jackie O go to ARN’s rebranded KIIS-FM.

Mr Moore-Wilton hit back the next day in the Australian to deflect her allegations saying “We have a board meeting coming up shortly and we will have discussions about the management in the board meeting.”

Has Olympus Fallen or will 3AW bounce back? And is the Today network still number one?
 
Harsh words apply blow torch to bellies of Fairfax and SCA management. Comment from Peter Saxon.
 
“Well ‘Olympus Has Fallen’! No real surprise to those who are keen and informed students of surveys and programming,” writes Mike the Influencer in the radioinfo comments section. “3AW has been on the slide for 2 years and everyone has been in denial about it. Funny that would be about the same time a new FRN head honcho came in.”
 
In response, someone who wishes to be known simply as “Adam” posted this denial, “What a crock of nonsense. ‘Olympus has fallen’? Hardly. For anyone prepared to have an unbiased look at the results it is obvious 3AW remains a mighty force with the Melbourne audience.
