Royal hoax call DJ Michael Christian voted 'next top jock' THE male host at the centre of the tragic royal hoax call has been named Austereo's "next top jock" and describes himself as "at the top of my game." Michael Christian, who quietly returned to the airways just two months after making the prank call to a London hospital that led to the suicide of nurse Jacintha Saldanha, was given the gong by his bosses at Southern Cross Austereo on Tuesday. Along with the prize, Christian won a trip to Los Angeles. From the start, I felt like I had something to prove to myself ... Regardless of all that's happened in the past few months, I'm still at the top of my game. So it felt good to see my name at the top of the final leader board!," Christian said in a statement. If this competition has taught me anything, it's that there's a LOT of talent in this company. Plus it's given all our announcers access to ideas, ways of thinking and people we might [not] normally have day-to-day contact with. On the other hand, his former co-host who also took part in the prank call, Mel Greig, remains in lock down and is unable to tell her side of the story. In early December Austereo aired a prank call made by the DJs to the London hospital where the Duchess of Cambridge was being treated for morning sickness. The nurse who put through the call, Jacintha Saldanha, committed suicide days later and the radio station and the announcers responsible received backlash from the public.
