Metro Radio Ratings: Survey 7, 2017

Firstly to Sydney, and 2GB slid 0.8 to 11.8%, but still managing to hold on to the top spot. On the FM side, KIIS takes the #1 spot with 9.5%, going up 0.9 from #3 FM & therefore narrowly outrating WS with 9.4% (down 0.4) & Smooth with 9.2% (up 0.5). 2Day was beaten by 2CH in the overall, in which the former went down 0.2 to 3.8%, whilst the latter went up 1% to 4.2%.

In Melbourne, Gold 104.3 takes out the #1 FM spot with 11.1%, beating Smooth, who scored a 10.1% share. Incredible to see two FM stations scoring double-digit figures in a big competitive city like Melbourne! :open_mouth: Elsewhere, Fox is the #1 CHR station, way ahead of Nova & KIIS, whilst Talking Lifestyle still falters at 0.5%.

In Brisbane, Nova is still #1 at 13.9%, but with changes to mornings coming with a local presenter being replaced by a Sydney presenter (Greg Burns), will they hold on to that position in future surveys? Further down, hit105 (Nova’s main rival, music-wise) was #2 with 11.2%, followed by 97.3FM with 11.1%, 4MMM with 9.5%, ABC Brisbane with 9.3% & 4KQ with 8.1%. Further down, 4BC scores a 5.6% share, whilst Talking Lifestyle halved its share that they had last survey to fall to 0.3%.

In Adelaide, Mix 102.3 is #1 at 11.8%, followed closely by Nova, FiveAA, ABC Adelaide, 5MMM & hit107. And in Perth, Mix 94.5 is still #1 at 14.1%, followed closely by Nova at 12.7%. 96fm managed to hit double-figures for the first time since 2015 after going up 1.5 to 10.6%, whilst hit92.9 fell 1.8 to 7.8%, just below that of 6PR & ABC Perth.
