The Kyle and Jackie O Show was unexpectedly pulled from the airwaves shortly at around 10:15am on Friday morning due to an emergency.
During a live broadcast, which had running significantly overtime, an alarm began wailing in the studio and the building had to be evacuated.
KIIS FM executive producer Sonia Jahshan interrupted the show to tell hosts Kyle Sandilands and Jackie ‘O’ Henderson they had to immediately leave.
Kyle and Jackie O is broadcast from KIIS 106.5’s headquarters in North Ryde, Sydney.
It is unclear what caused the alarm but it could possibly have been a routine fire drill. Daily Mail Australia has contacted the show’s publicists for comment.
Kyle, 47, appeared to take the calamity in his stride, casually telling listeners: ‘I have to walk down the stairs? Is there a slide?
‘If we don’t burn to death, we’ll be back on Monday.’
After evacuating the studio, the Kyle and Jackie O broadcast cut to music and commercials and was not resumed.
When programming started again, morning presenter Gordie Waters was on the air.
