Nine Network TV personality and former CEO, Eddie McGuire, (main picture) is being widely touted as a replacement for the controversial Mike Sneesby who this week announced his decision to depart its parent company Nine Entertainment.

A senior network insider said while McGuire had an unsuccessful tenure as CEO for only 18 months from January 2006 he was the Nine Entertainment Group’s only real hope of resurrecting its standing and profitability.

“Eddie is really the only person who has ever had a plan to turn around the fortune of Nine, especially its TV arm,” the source said.

When asked for details of the McGuire plan, the insider said: “Well, when I say plan, it’s pretty much what we always do when the network’s in a tight spot and we’re casting around for visionary and cutting-edge ideas to underpin our future – bring back The Price is Right.”

The hosts of KIIS radio network’s flagship breakfast program The Kyle and Jacki O Show have rejected claims that they consistently and deliberately deliver indecent and inappropriate content just to secure high ratings and advertising revenue.

A recent edition of ABC TV’s Media Watch aired concerns about the standards of the program which has a longstanding reputation for courting controversy by broadcasting provocative material.

The Media Watch program focused on a recent edition of the KIIS program that involved staff of the station trying to identify other staff members by listening to recordings of them urinating.

The hosts of the program, Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O Henderson, yesterday took time out during a segment in which they administered live on-air enemas to each other to deny their program was catering to the lowest common denominator of listeners.
