 3AW 14.5%

This survey covered the end of the AFL season and it has been good for the station. Breakfast with Ross and John was up 1.4 to 19.8% with all programs reporting growth with the exception of afternoon where Denis Walter was steady on 10.8%.

smoothfm 91.5 9.8%

Another survey at #1 FM for the station means Nova Entertainment is the place to go to buy airtime on the market-leading music stations in the two biggest radio markets. All timeslots hardly moved with breakfast with Mike Perso and Jennifer Hansen steady just over 8%.

101.9 Fox FM 9.5%

Fifi, Fev and Byron remain the #1 FM breakfast show, with share dipping 0.6 to 9.0%. Best result here was afternoon up 1.0 to 11.5% – a timeslot which includes most of the Carrie and Tommy early drive show. Hughesy and Kate remain #1 drive with share up 0.5 to 11.0%.

Gold 104.3 9.5%

Just when it might have been getting tough for Christian O’Connell his numbers have taken off. Breakfast share at Gold was up 1.2 to 7.9% making it the #3 FM breakfast show in the market.

105.1 Triple M 7.1%

Small recovery here too with share up in morning, afternoon and drive. The Hot Breakfast with Eddie, Luke and Wil was steady on 7.7%.

Nova 100 6.7%

Not a lot separates the top FM breakfast shows, but Chrissie, Sam and Browny could cut through the pack with a small increase. Morning remains a troublespot.

KIIS 101.1 FM 5.6%

Not much momentum here yet as newcomers Jase and PJ work hard to establish their brand in the market. Breakfast was down 0.4 to 5.5%.

SEN 3.8%

A steady result on weekdays with some small improvements, offset by a dip of 0.5 on weekends. Breakfast was up 0.1 to 3.7%, morning was the station highpoint with Gerard Whateley up 0.7 to 5.1% and drive with the KB and The Doc was up 0.3 to 3.9%.
