With those, it would have ranked in each city:
Sydney: 4th
Melbourne: 8th
Brisbane: T-4th with B105
Adelaide: 6th
Perth: 4th
Well, I guess people love what Melbourne has to offer. Despite having the same number of listed stations, not so much Sydney.
Brisbane always seems to have the biggest other stations share - crying out for a smooth/classic FM station.
Another great survey for 4BH, third overall as B105 slips. Number one station on the weekends, number two in the morning.
ABC Brisbane just stays ahead of 4BC. KIIS up by 2 after a bad survey.

Regional areas frequently seem to have a 25% or so “other” share, probably the result of having only 2 or 3 local commercial stations and usually one general purpose community station ie. not Christian or youth or country music specific etc.

The station’s dominant performance is reflected across all platforms, securing a substantial overall audience share of 14.7 (up 0.1), alongside an exceptional commercial streaming share of 33.9%.
Every week, 719,000 Melburnians tune into 3AW, captivated by its unparalleled blend of up-to-the-minute news, incisive commentary, compelling sports discussion and vibrant local interaction.
3AW’s stronghold on the market is evident across the schedule, successfully retaining the coveted No. 1 position in breakfast, mornings, evenings and weekends.

Survey 7: It’s a fine line between pleasure and pain for ARN
Just days after Kyle Sandilands made the startling admission that he and his KIIS co-host Jackie O Henderson are “not worth” the estimated $200 million they’re being paid for their 10-year radio contract, GfK Survey 7 has delivered yet another lacklustre result for the much-hyped duo.
In Melbourne, Kyle & Jackie O dropped half a share point in Breakfast to 5.5, shedding 25,000 in cume and leaving them last among the FM teams.
K & J’s Breakfast share also fell in Sydney (-1.1 to 12.5).
In a result that bodes well for next year’s national expansion, Gold 104.3’s The Christian O’Connell Show increased its lead as Melbourne’s #1 FM Breakfast show in the second last survey for the year, with Gold 101.7’s Jonesy & Amanda also increasing their share, ahead of their 2026 move to national Drive.
Sharnelle and Bob’s profile has seemingly grown a bit in the last few months, if the ABC continues to give them some time and keeps investing in them, they could be onto something. 774 now just need to drop the awful Afternoons presenter and stop getting hysterical and shrill shock jocks like Justin Smith in to cover for Raf.
