The embattled Kyle and Jackie O Show is scheduled to return to the airwaves on August 17.

The date has been flagged to the station's advertisers by Austereo executives.

The program, in ''recess'' after a disastrous lie-detector stunt in which a 14-year-old was questioned about her sexual history, will have been off air for just two weeks. While some media outlets have reported the show was suspended, it was only taken off air because Sandilands told the station he was unwilling to work.
