Sydney: One of the Australian radio hosts at the centre of a royal hoax call controversy in which a nurse was found hanged returned to the airwaves Monday.

Michael Christian, with Mel Greig, made the phone call to London's King Edward VII Hospital in December pretending to be Queen Elizabeth and Prince Charles inquiring about the health of Prince William's pregnant wife Catherine. Christian resumed work with Austereo station Fox FM in Melbourne.

"We are happy to have Michael back on air," said Austereo chief Rhys Holleran. "We have always supported our talent returning to work when appropriate and today marks that occasion for MC. "We look forward to welcoming Mel Greig back when the time is right." Earlier this month British prosecutors said the two Australian DJs would not face charges over the hoax call.
