### Nine Radio reveals first snapshot of digital streaming numbers **New live streaming data for Nine Radio’s talk stations show the network achieving record numbers and double-digit growth in July.** > According to figures released today, the radio network achieved more than 11 million streams in the month of July, up 11 percent on June, along with growth in total listening hours and total cumulative audience. > > The surge comes as states along the Eastern seaboard endure COVID lockdowns and listeners turn to Nine’s trusted talk radio stations for the latest and most accurate news. > > Nine’s Head of Digital Audio Hayley Bourne also noted the growing trend in listeners tuning in via their station apps and smart devices. “This is the first time we’ve released a clear digital snapshot to market and what you can see through 11 million stream starts with an average session time of 59 minutes, is a highly engaged and valuable audience.” > > Source: Triton Streaming Metrics, Session Starts, July 1-31 2021 vs June 1-30 2021, unless otherwise specified. > > “COVID and the recent lockdowns played a role in last month’s streaming growth especially during traditional workday hours. Ray Hadley’s decision to broadcast the NSW Premier’s media conference at 11am each day on 2GB has seen a 48 percent increase in stream starts of his program. These numbers reinforce the fact that talk radio – with its live and local nature – is highly sought-after content, through traditional or digital platforms.” > > Nine intends to release regular digital audio snapshots going forward. ![image](https://mediaspy-org-s3.s3.dualstack.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/original/3X/6/2/62dcd21a7bd8d1b44763c54ff61b3ae28e7e6da5.jpeg) ![image](https://mediaspy-org-s3.s3.dualstack.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/original/3X/0/0/00514476f638a6e5c4505cbf9667c81edf85f9ce.jpeg) ![](https://www.nineforbrands.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/DIGITALAUDIOJULY-1024x212.jpg) [**FULL JULY SNAPSHOT HERE.**](https://www.nineforbrands.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Nine-Digital-Audio.jpg) ---

They REALLY need consistent branding. Pre-Nine and Fairfax, Southern Cross changed their logos a few times IIRC. ---

Find it amusing, every morning watching the webcam Neil is always frustrated when Jane has her segment for TV. We know he doesn’t like fluff as it’s pretty obvious listening and watching… Must be due to the length of her segment always going over but you can always see him trying to rush her to finish and him getting incredibly frustrated… this says it all from his perspective I guess! ![image](https://mediaspy-org-s3.s3.dualstack.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/original/3X/1/3/130eff2a09f11d76b278dd3e87f2710036f4a3e5.jpeg) ![image](https://mediaspy-org-s3.s3.dualstack.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/original/3X/4/5/4530aa169003c901870d954019c3de0ac2bd9a10.jpeg) ---

I have also noticed that Ray Hadley has missed broadcasting the key words for their stupid competition they are running atm. Where you have key words announced each hour and you have to call in the last hour and say the two keywords in order to win $1000. Which is hardly worth it for the amount of money up for grabs. I’m sure he has shown similar expressions shown on the live cam stream. ---

You reckon? I feel the longest are the bloody sport and car segments which are worse. I feel he gets like that a fair bit throughout the program and it’s not just Jane. I guess he just wants it all to be short and punchy which I understand. Here’s a video of what I managed to capture, the audio is out of sync due to their webcam delay today. I missed the end where there was a motion to the control room and I think a swear world 😂 ---

Funny you mention that. I notice the Favouritism in News Readers (ie the air time between David Armstrong and Denis O’Kane and even when the women newsreaders are on.

I actually think Neil genuinely respects Jane. She’s been an important part of his show for so many years and he even refused to accept her resignation after her drink driving misdemeanour. I wouldn’t look too far in to what people have observed of Neil’s body language on a webcam for a radio/audio only production. Also Neil’s hand signals are an institution! There is a very funny clip with Hamish and Andy in the studio trying to emulate Neil’s hand signals. ---
