ABC made significant gains in Melbourne in all timeslots except evening, as the city returned to lockdown during the survey period. The biggest increases were breakfast with Sammy J (up 2.2%) and mornings with Virginia Trioli (up 2.4%).
Gold was the only FM station to increase its audience share during breakfast, with its FM rivals all dropping from previous survey. PJ Harding was not able to finish her stint on KIIS on a high as the show dropped 1.6%. Her replacement Lauren Phillips and Jase Hawkins had a lot of work to do to lift the ratings.
Fox, Triple M and Smooth all went up in drive.
3AW was still Melbourne’s No.1 station overall but its shares dropped in all timeslots except breakfast.
2UE was just 0.6% behind 2Day in breakfast.
