Continuing ARN’s dominance for the younger demo, KIIS’s Hughesy & Kate’s Drive show is in first place, even with a -12% decline SOS & YOY.

Whereas SCA’s Hamish & Andy saw an increase of +20% SOS; right on KIIS’s tail, with the smallest gap between the two networks (less than 2K) since Survey 6 2015.

P40-54 is dominated by WSFM this survey with KIIS in second place and TripleM in third.

WSFM’s Jonesy & Amanda have knocked off fellow ARN network KIIS for prime Breakfast position for P40-54; with KIIS seeing the biggest drop SOS of -31%.

With less than 1% difference in audience between them, WSFM’s Jason Staveley’s Drive show has beat out KIIS’s Hughesy & Kate, despite both dropping SOS. Whereas Nova’s Kate, Tim & Marty saw one of the biggest increases SOS of +56% for the demo.

Melbourne Survey Results

Survey #3 has seen lifts in the younger P18-39 demo, thanks to Breakfast and Drive increases on Triple M.

After a near quadruple tie last survey on Breakfast, Triple M’s Hot Breakfast show with Eddie, Mick & Luke  has taken over first place on P18-39, with an uplift of +24% SOS.

FOX’s Drive show with Hamish and Andy is increasing it’s lead across P18-39, widening the gap between themselves and #2 Nova, with a +35% increase YOY.

While 3AW continues to dominate across P40-54 in the Breakfast daypart, Nova’s Chrissie, Sam & Browny has seen a massive uplift of +34% SOS and their highest audience in a year.

GOLD took a massive his this survey in Drive against P40-54, losing -33% of their audience and dropping to 4th place, after coming in 2nd last survey and winning Survey #1. Fox and Triple M gained some traction however it was 3AW’s Drive with Tom Elliot who once again took the top spot for the second survey in a row.

The Breakfast daypart has seen increased audiences of +5% across both key demos.  We expect 3AW to continue to dominate in the next survey as listeners tune in for election coverage.

 

 

Brisbane Survey Results

Despite being down -13% SOS, SCA’s HIT105 have held onto the Mon-Fri BMAD timeslot for P18-39.

• While declines were seen against all dayparts, SCA will be most worried about Stav, Abbey & Osher taking a big hit in the breakfast timeslot with audiences dropping below 20,000 for the first time this year. A portion of the Audience seems to have migrated to NOVA

NOVA 106.9 have taken out both the Breakfast & Drive timeslots, both of which have seen audience increases since Survey #2.

• Kate, Tim & Marty continue to go from strength to strength knocking Hamish & Andy from the #1 positon during the drive daypart.

Nova continue to close the audience gap with SCA, seeing an increase across all timeslots.  We expect Survey #4 to show both stations neck and neck in the BMAD dayparts.

ARN’s 97.3 is on the growth trajectory and holds the lions share of the market against P40-54.

TripleM comfortably holds second place against P40-54, with increases across all timeslots, with the exception of Drive where Merrick has lost listeners to 97.3, 4KQ and Magic 882.

BMAD (M-F) in Brisbane has seen an overall SOS decline (-4.5%) in listenership against P18-39. Despite the younger audience drop,  the older demo (P40-54) have increased listenership across the daypart by 7%.

Hamish & Andy continue to win out Drive for P18-39 and increasing threefold YOY.

Across P40-54 TripleM & Mix102.3 continue to battle it out for Breakfast & Drive, with TripleM winning out for BMAD as a whole.

Roo & Ditts TripleM Breakfast show has won the last 3 consecutive surveys since taking over from Jodie & Soda on Mix102.3, with a +32% increase YOY.

Whereas Hughesy & Kate’s Drive show on Mix102.3 has now nudged out TripleM’s The Rush Hour with Jars & Louie to be the new Drive winner for P40-54, up +16% SOS.
