Fm 104.7 was very dominant being constantly #1 from when they launched in 1988

Even though 2CC (which seemed to be running the same “Classic Hits” format 2UW Sydney had at the time) was Canberra’s #1 station for the first survey in 1988? Seems like FM 104.7 took time to establish itself in the market too, as it debuted below KIX, 2CN and 2CA going by this report:

2CC remained at #1 until the 2nd survey of 1989, when FM104.7 finally topped the ratings. Even so, with the exception of 2 surveys in 1991-92, 2CC remained ahead of then-sister station KIX 106 until the 1st survey of 1994, which by then KIX had rebranded to Canberra FM & took on an AC format. Later that year, ARN sold 2CC to what is now the Capital Radio Network.

Off topic a bit but when did 2CA and FM104.7 split ownership? Was it around the same time as ARN sold 2CC?
