Summary
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.
