Survey Period: Sun 24 May to Sat 27 June 2026 & Sun 12 July to Sat 15 August.

Biggest Movers: 
UP: ABC Classic +1.1

B105 has kept its grip on Brisbane in GfK Survey 5, while KIIS 973 had a survey it would probably rather leave behind.

Overall

B105 remained Brisbane’s number one station at 12%, unchanged from Survey 4, although its cume dipped by 7,000 to 650,000.

Behind it, things tightened up. 4BH and Triple M tied on 10.9%, although Triple M dropped a full point from 11.9%.

The bigger headache belonged to KIIS 973, which recorded the largest commercial fall, down 1.5 points to 9.4%. Its cume also shed 50,000 listeners to 512,000.

Nova 106.9 slipped 0.7 points to 9.3%, while ABC Brisbane fell 0.9 points to 5.5%.

Down the dial, 4BC had a better day, jumping a full point to 4.3%. ABC Classic was the survey’s biggest increase, up 1.1 points to 1.9%.

Breakfast

B105 also kept the Breakfast crown, rising 0.3 points to 14.2%.

Triple M moved up 0.9 points to 11.7%, leapfrogging Nova, which slipped to 11.5%.

But again, the sting was at KIIS. KIIS 973 Breakfast fell 2.3 points, from 12.2% to 9.9%, dropping out of double digits.

4BH eased to 10.5%, while ABC Brisbane fell to 6.9%.

So, Brisbane’s pecking order remains intact at the top. B105 is still the station to catch, while KIIS 973 has some ground to make up.
