Summary
Kyle Sandilands has settled his legal dispute with ARN Media after being sacked from Kiis FM's Breakfast Show. The settlement includes a $12.09m cash payout and $1.5m worth of advertising support for a new media venture — far less than the $85m he originally sought. His co-host Jackie "O" Henderson's separate legal action against ARN has not yet been resolved. The settlement avoids a potentially costly and damaging federal court trial.

· 3 pulledKyle Sandilands has settled his dispute with ARN Media for a $12m cash payout and a promise it will help him launch a new media venture.
The money is a fraction of the $85m the former radio host had been seeking after his abrupt sacking from the network in February, but avoids what threatened to be a costly and potentially damaging trial in the federal court.
Sandilands and his co-host on Kiis FM's Breakfast Show, Jackie 'O' Henderson, took separate legal action against ARN after the company terminated their 10-year contracts a year in. Henderson's suit has not yet been settled.
