Left-wing lawyers Slater & Gordon heads a large list of firms yet to withdraw advertising from The Alan Jones’ Breakfast Show as pressure mounts on the conservative shock jock over his disgraceful Julia Gillard comments.

UPDATE 3:45pm: Slaters has pulled its ads from Jones and 2GB and issued a statement saying it “stands with thousands of Australians who would want us to advertise elsewhere”.

There are now 40 companies that have withdrawn their support including McDonald’s, Harvey Norman and Toyota. Read the full list here.

Slater & Gordon’s conveyancing division was plugged twice this morning on Jones’ 2GB show, alongside ads from leading corporates including Hyundai, Honda, Volkswagen, Seven West Media, McDonald’s, The Australian and Bee Gee Barry Gibb.

The Slaters connection is a curious one given Jones has spent countless hours this year bagging Gillard, a former Slaters partner, over the Bruce Wilson/AWU affair including this infamous interview with sacked 2UE presenter Michael Smith.

As Crikey hit the button early this afternoon, the listed lawyers’ Facebook and Twitter page had recorded complaints, however its official spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment.

Advertisers that dragged back their dignity and pulled ads from the Jones circus include Bing Lee, Coles, Woolworths, Mercedes-Benz, Dilmah Tea, ING Direct, Freedom Furniture, Challenger Limited and The Australian International Motor Show.

After today’s program, Hyundai — which was read out five times during Jones’ 210 minutes on the air — announced its ads would cease. Honda has also pulled out but Seven is likely to remain after network boss Kerry Stokes publicly pledged his on-air support.

Jones and 2GB owner Macquarie Radio Network’s (70% controlled by John Singleton) bottom line could be permanently cruelled by the withdrawal of advertisers if the experience of fellow shock-jock Kyle Sandilands is any indication.

Crikey contacted several leading firms that withdrew ads from Sandilands’ Kyle & Jackie O show following his vicious “fat slag” attack last November on News.com.au journalist Alison Stephenson. However, Mitsubishi, Telstra, Harvey Norman, Blackmores, Holden, Medibank, Vodafone and GIO Insurance who all said their ban remains in place until at least the end of the year. Earlier this year, estimates put the total amount of sponsorship lost by Sandilands at $10 million.

In March, Sandilands told AdNews that sponsors were “coming back” to his show and blamed the boycott on “about four or five real haters out there that are bombarding everyone on Facebook”.

Sandilands and Jones have been duelling at the top of the Sydney radio breakfast ratings tree all year, although the duo attract vastly different audiences.

Macquarie Radio shares plunged 6.25% or four cents this morning to 60 cents against a small jump in the broader market and gains from other media stocks.
