The issue resurfaced earlier this year when Jones was judged by the Australian Communications and Media Authority to have breached disclosure rules on six occasions in 2019 while campaigning in favour of a development application by Sydney's Star Casino without revealing that the radio station was being paid. In 1999, he was embroiled in a cash for comment scandal, when he was found to be promoting products on air without disclosing to the audience that he was being paid to do so. Jones was best-known for his breakfast radio show on 2GB which he presented for 18 years before quitting last year. Six weeks ago, it was announced the outspoken British broadcaster Piers Morgan had been signed up to be present a new show to be syndicated on News Corp networks, including Sky News Australia. "I'd like to thank Alan for his commendable dedication and service to Sky News. "His compelling commentary and views on the national debate have seen him become one of the country's most successful and influential broadcasters for close to four decades. We respect his decision and know he will be missed by many. Paul Whittaker, chief executive officer of Sky News Australia said: "Regrettably Alan has decided not to accept a new role that was offered to him for next year. The station has, however, seen an increase in YouTube subscribers. On digital platforms, Sky News came in 10th place, with 7 per cent of the audience, down 2 per cent on the year before. The 2021 Digital News Report, published by the University of Canberra's News and Media Research Centre, showed Sky News was watched by just 10 per cent of the television audience, a drop of 2 percentage points compared with the previous year. "It was clear from the outset that my signing at Sky News brought over a new audience to the station."

"When I arrived at Sky News and was signed to a 17-month contract, it was made quite clear to me that the 8pm slot was, in the words of management, a 'dead' spot," he said. He said the decision to drop his show failed to take into account its performance in the ratings. Jones complained that Sky News had recently reduced the amount of content from his program it shared on its social media platforms, fearing being "cancelled". Last month, YouTube suspended Sky News Australia's account for a week for spreading misinformation about the pandemic.Ĭlimate change activist Greta Thunberg and former royals Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have also been regular targets of his polemics. Jones, 80, first joined Sky News in 2013 and last year signed a contract to present the Alan Jones program, a talk show which goes to air four nights a week at 8pm.īut the program has been plagued with controversy over Jones's commentary on COVID-19, which included tirades against lockdown restrictions.
