Remember when I said this about Fox and people (one person) said I was crazy, that I couldn’t possibly predict such a thing from one survey?
Luckily for those one #1 bonuses at Fox breakfast, Nova had an average book and Smooth was more or less flat, but Smooth is certainly within striking distance at breakfast (!). A .4 tick up for Smooth and a .5 tick down for Fox would have them level - both results are very possible. A result identical to today’s for Christian O’Connell would see him take #1 if others stay flat or drop.
Fantastic result for Smooth. Proves you can be #1 without having live announcers! As much as we love to talk about ‘live n local’ it’s clear the audience doesn’t care anywhere near as much.
Fox, Gold & Smooth all in very close contention for #1 FM, with Smooth edging them out this time.
Fox & Gold beating the entire rest of the board in the arvos.
Survey 1 2019 will be very interesting for Melbourne.
Big day for Smooth. #1 in both markets. Interesting that in Sydney, Smooth actually lost overall share, but still managed to hit #1 (and lost in what might traditionally be their demographic but picked up in 18-39).
Mix, Cruise, 5AA and ABC are killing it in Adelaide. Maybe a reflection of the demographic of those that listen more than anything though…
Interestingly, their best rating timeslot is the heavily networked evenings…
