Hot Tomato continues to dominate with 21.8% (+2.0), followed by Triple M Gold with 14.3% (-0.3), and Sea FM with 9% (-1.2).
In the demos, Hot Tomato wins the under-65s, whilst Triple M Gold tops the 65+.
In breakfast, Hot Tomato’s Galey & Emily Jade dominate with 23.8% (+3.8), followed by Triple M Gold’s Flan, Ali & Spida with 14.7% (+0.1), and Bronte & Lakey on Sea with 10.4% (-0.6). In drive, Hot Tomato’s Moyra & Big Trev dominate with 22.6% (+2.2), followed by Rush Hour on Triple M Gold with 12% (-0.3), and Carrie & Tommy on Sea with 11.9% (-0.5).
The “Other Stations” share this survey is at 31.1%, up 2.3 from the previous survey.
Shocking performances by ABC Gold Coast 3.3 (-0.5) and ABC Brisbane 0.8 (-0.5).
Those other stations (Breeze, Rebel, 2MW, 94.1 and other community) doing so well, shame they aren’t included.
Gee, Sea FM continues to disappoint. Though when management have been happy to make the station either just a relay or an origin of relay programming for an entire state (or eastern seaboard), it should be no surprise that a city the size of the Gold Coast tunes out.
Hot Tomato once again win out for being a local station with local programming.
ABC Gold Coast is pretty dire too, down in the low 3s overall and some big drops in breaky and drive.
As always with the GC though, the untold story is the Other Stations figure, again representing nearly a third of the overall audience, and that’s without the influence of the Brisbane stations. What I would give to see the shares for each of the individual stations within that figure…
Unsurprisingly, I agree with what you’ve said @TV.Cynic 
What is wrong with ABC Gold Coast? I’m only an intermittent listener I admit, but my gripes are when I tune in to 91.7 to then hear traffic updates for the Sunshine Motorway or David Low Way and again realise the Gold and Sunshine Coasts are getting the same program.
But both breakfast and drive are proper local, right? And Tom Forbes in drive is a local reporter who’s been based on the coast for years now. Are people not warming to him?
I think the whole station could benefit from an overall format shift away from your typical ABC local station, you’ve got 612 and 94.5 if you want that content on the coast. Do something different as an experiment I reckon, ditch the dry talk like AM/PM and lighten it up a bit - it’d be a great market to try it in.
I seem to recall 91.7 had a different, lighter, more music format some 20-30 odd years ago when it was referred to as ABC Coast FM or something like that? Maybe I’m showing my MediaSpy Forums age having never actually been to the Gold Coast hence relying on these boards for most of my QLD knowledge 
4SO was originally just a typical ABC3 network station (country hour). BUt at some point it broke away and had a unique identity. It was similar to what Wave FM in LA used to be like “smooth jazz”. That continued when it changed to FM. There is really no need fo it to relay sports call when as mentioned there is reception from Brisbane and Lismore and even more so, now there is DAB+ radio with a full suite of ABC digital stations plus ABC from Brisbane.
Tom isn’t on breakfast anymore, he does weekends
I thought he was on drive? Been a few weeks since I was last down there listening I admit.
He fills in here and there but he’s not full time anymore
The largest share in the station’s 21 year history.
