Surprised to see an increase for NEW FM … 3rd overall for the first time in a long long time I think.
Actually, no. The closest they’ve been to each other in recent years was in Survey 1 of 2020, when Hit scored 12.5%, whilst New scored 10.6%. Going back a bit further to Survey 2 of 2014, NX (as it was known back then) scored 9.7%, whilst New scored 9.3%.
Was 2014 in the Steve & Kim final years?
record breaking results for the House of M’s today, I’m sure the bosses will have more to say in their PR later on
No, they finished up in 2012. Steve moved across to KO in 2013, first doing drive before moving into breakfast with Tanya the following year, replacing David Collins (RIP).
Three hours after its release and still nothing on Radio Today
Maybe they’re still waiting for the SCA Media Release as per usual?
They could virtually ‘copy and paste’ any SCA Media Release from the last 5 years or so, as it’s been Triple M # 1 and Hit #2 for quite some time now.
Largest share for any station in the market since a 23.2 for NX in S3/2009.
