Jones, 83, had been a fixture of Australian broadcasting since the mid-1980s, hosting influential shows on Sydney radio stations 2GB and 2UE and the TV network Sky News.
In a statement on Monday, police in the state of New South Wales said detectives from a dedicated child abuse squad arrested an 83-year-old man at a property in the downtown Sydney neighbourhood of Circular Quay.
New South Wales Police Commissioner Karen Webb said at a news conference that the arrest followed a very complex and protracted investigation, highlighting the sensitivity surrounding the case.
In December, Jones denied allegations of indecent assault and inappropriate touching after the Sydney Morning Herald published an investigation detailing claims he preyed on young men.
