Timeline

1945

Jeremy Nicholas Cordeaux (born 18 September 1945) is an Australian radio and television presenter best known for his work in the talkback radio format.

1962

Born in Sydney, Cordeaux began his career in radio during 1962, at the age of 16, when he became an errand boy for John Laws at 2GB.

1970

Cordeaux's best known television role was as host of Australian dating show Blind Date in 1970.

1973

He later moved to Grafton to work at 2GF before a 12-month stint at 2KY in Sydney, returning to 2GB in 1973 to take over the morning show.

1974

Cordeaux then became the station's breakfast presenter in 1974.

1976

In 1976, Cordeaux moved to Adelaide.

There he hosted The Court of Public Opinion on 5DN for almost thirty years.

After acquiring a 10% interest in 5DN, he was promoted to the position of Managing Director.

He later sold his interest in 5DN, and purchased 5AD and 5SE from Hoyts Media.

1980

In the late 1980s, Cordeaux anchored the Adelaide edition of Seven News, alongside Graeme Goodings.

1993

Wiese claimed he had been pressured to tailor news bulletins to incorporate an endorsement deal for 5AD's advertisers in 1993, which guaranteed them undisclosed and subtle preferential treatment during general on air programs and news bulletins.

Media Watch cited a letter of complaint Wiese had sent to the Australian Broadcasting Authority, and a memo allegedly outlining the deal which claimed the station would have sought to create "industry authority status" for the businesses through news bulletins and program segments.

Media Watch criticised the Australian Broadcasting Authority for its lack of interest in the matter, and for their lack of action regarding a "serious deficiency" with the radio industry's code of practice.

The Australian Broadcasting Authority subsequently announced it would investigate the claims made against Cordeaux on Media Watch.

In response, Cordeaux said Wiese was a former employee who had been terminated for dishonesty, and who had orchestrated a "ten-year campaign of venom and vindictiveness", and who had since been employed by the ABC.

Cordeaux said he had never done anything wrong.

Cordeaux later said the memo was an internal document which originated from a "think tank" discussion, and the endorsement deal outlined in the memo never eventuated.

However, following the Australian Broadcasting Authority's investigation, Cordeaux was found to have substantially breached the industry's code of practice.

The ABC found Cordeaux's undisclosed personal sponsorship deals with the likes of Adelaide Casino, Network Ten, GIO and Optus had influenced the content on his programs.

The ABA found 5AD to have breached the codes of practice on twelve occasions, prompting another enquiry into both 5AD and 5DN.

In response, Cordeaux rejected his actions were "cash for comment", saying it was advertising rather than commenting.

1996

He sold the stations to the Australian Radio Network in 1996.

1999

In 1999, Cordeaux was implicated in the cash for comment affair when ABC Television's Media Watch program aired allegations by former 5AD news director Neil Wiese.

2004

Cordeaux retired from 5DN in 2004.

Cordeaux later said in a 2004 interview that there was nothing covert about the relationship he had with the businesses as everyone had known about his close association with the sponsors.

He said although the rules changed, he was not breaking any rules in place at the time.

However, he said he applauded the ABA for the changes as they require announcers to be more transparent, removing any ambiguity.

2010

He also hosted his own show on Adelaide community station in the early 2010s on Channel 44.

2013

Cordeaux was a guest on ABC Television's weekly panel show Q&A in 2013.

Cordeaux was the founding chairperson of the Variety Club of South Australia, and has been associated with the Royal Institute for Deaf and Blind Children, the Motor Neurone Disease Association, Red Cross, SA Great and The Smith Family.

2014

He returned to radio in 2014, commencing work with FIVEaa.

2016

In December 2016, Cordeaux announced he was leaving FIVEaa, after mistakenly believing the station wanted him to move to another timeslot to replace Alan Hickey, assuming Hickey's employment was being terminated.

However, after being informed that Hickey was leaving the station to undergo cancer treatment, Cordeaux elected to stay.

Cordeaux was sacked by FIVEaa in March 2021 following on-air comments about alleged rape victim Brittany Higgins.

He had recorded a reading of 0.102 during a breath test on 15 December 2016, while returning from a Christmas party.

Cordeaux was issued with an immediate loss of licence for a period of six months.

The magistrate recorded a conviction and fined Cordeaux $950.

Cordeaux was ordered to pay $520 in court costs.

The conviction and punishment were handed down in Cordeaux's absence, as he had failed to attend the court appearance at Adelaide Magistrates Court.

2017

In May 2017, Cordeaux was convicted after pleading guilty to one count of driving with excess blood alcohol.
