The Macquarie Radio Network has announced that it will be temporarily suspending all advertising on Alan Jones' 2GB breakfast show.

The move follows comments made by Mr Jones in which he said Prime Minister Julia Gillard's father ''died of shame''.

The network’s Executive Chairman Russell Tate said the reaction to Jones’ remarks had forced it to ‘‘call time out’’ for advertisers.

‘‘The nature, tone and volume of the reaction to Jones’ remarks, and in particular the threats being made through social media to companies advertising in Jones’ program and the disruption being caused to their businesses, have made it necessary for MRN to call some ’time out’,’’ he said in a statement.
