2GB breaks commercial disclosure rules
Radio station 2GB has breached commercial radio disclosure rules during broadcasts of The Alan Jones Breakfast Show by not informing its listeners about a commercial agreement the program had with The Star Entertainment Group.
An Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) investigation found 2GB failed to disclose The Star’s sponsorship of the program on multiple occasions in September and October 2019 when Jones discussed the Ritz-Carlton development, a project commissioned by The Star.
ACMA Chair Nerida O’Loughlin said the comments breached the Commercial Radio Current Affairs Disclosure Standard.
“Licensees and presenters must let their audience know if a sponsor has a commercial interest in material being broadcast that is directly favourable to the sponsor.
