Overall

smoothfm 95.3 is Sydney’s most listened-to station… again.

It held its position at the top despite a tiny dip, meaning roughly 1 in 8 Sydneysiders tuned in at any given time during the survey period.

2GB is still second, but it lost ground this survey; it’s first under new owners TAPT Media, dropping from 13.3% to 11.8%.

The biggest winner was Gold 101.7, which jumped 1.4 points to 9% – its best result.

It was another strong survey for Triple M, with the share climbing to 6.4%.

The toughest result belonged to KIIS 1065, which dropped 1.3 points to 7.4% and lost over 120,000 listeners compared to last time.

Breakfast

2GB’s Breakfast show, hosted by Ben Fordham, is still number one in Sydney mornings, but it fell from 16.8% to 15.6%, a notable slip.

smoothfm came in second and actually grew, rising to 11.4%.

The biggest Breakfast loser was KIIS 1065, with the loss of Kyle and Jackie O now beginning to show – the timeslot plummeting 3.5 points to 8.2%.

Gold 101.7’s Breakfast was the morning’s biggest improver, up 1.7 points to 7.2%, and likely one that will provide new host Christian O’Connell a moment to exhale.
