16.9% is a great share from Triple J since its a retransmission that is at 50 watts only. And probably mono.
I imagine a lot of that listening is via streaming, not FM.
Where did all the listener come from for Hit ( +15.6). The format has not changed since 2022. I see some of the other stations are down, but not +15.6 all up.
Iām guessing itās a very small sample size and thus potentially subject to more significant variations.

The first couple of tables are deceptive - measuring what station is the most listened to, rather than the percentage share of listeners.

Regional surveys (the Xtra Insights ones) all measure Station Listened to Most - itās not deceptive, itās just a slightly different measurement.
Tiny sample size and a commercial monopoly means itās a junk survey.

Today, weāre heading back to the eastern half of the country, to Griffith:
Hit maintains the top spot with 31.2% (-2.3 from 2022), followed by Triple M with 17.5% (+1.3), and ABC Riverina with 9.5% (-3.0).
In the demos, Hit is #1 in the under-65s, with Triple M topping the 65+.
In breakfast, Hitās Jess & Ducko dominate with 31.3% (-4.5), followed by Triple Mās Matty Wray with 18.9% (+1.5). In drive, Hitās Carrie & Tommy dominate with 37.5% (-2.1), followed by Triple M with 17% (+3.0).
The āOther Stationsā share is at 28.5%, up 2.4 from 2022.

Iād imagine most of that would be 2AAA with a little for 2LF & Roccy FM in the licence overlap areas

It would most likely be towards the more local community stations within the licence area, including 2MIA Griffith, Spirit FM Narrandera, and 2HAY Hay.

Gold FM closed down July last year (according to their Facebook page). Very little sign of it now when driving through town and no more of the awful RDS they were using

Also 2QN and 3SH, gets in well in some spots.

2QN doesnāt rate in its licence area - I doubt anyone in Griffith is listening.
After more than a month of no (non-GfK) regional ratings release, we have one today from Port Hedland-Broome:
Triple M is #1 with 41.4% (+12.6 from 2022), followed by Hit with 25.4% (-2.2). The ABC stations didnāt rate higher than a 4.9, with JJJ rating the highest after falling 17.5 from 2022.
In the demo & timeslot breakdowns, Triple M wins every one of them.
The āOther Stationsā share this survey is at 21.3%, up a whopping 9.2 from 2022.

May as well just randomly generate the surveys.
Looks like basically young people vanished from the survey. The 10-39 change for Triple J of -61 is nearly the same as the net -55 for that whole age group, with otherwise small shuffling between the other stations, seemingly ABC Talk station listeners moving to Triple Mās talk instead.
Total people cume:
| This | Last | Change | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10+ | 412 | 467 | -55 |
| 10-39 | 213 | 268 | -55 |
| 40+ | 199 | 201 | -2 |
| 18-54 | 294 | 354 | -60 |
This is very scary for radio if these are vaguely correct - that in the space of 3 years since a previous survey, 5000+ listeners just stopped listening to the radio instead of either switching stations or continuing to listen to Triple J.

Very close between the 3 commercials and even ABC Local. Good for competition with all 4 stations thinking theyāre a good chance at being #1 next survey.
Either last book was an outlier or this one is an interesting one. Triple M Nights the giveaway.
Not really. Smaller sample size for nights always makes it a more volatile daypart to measure.
Anyone know what the survey sample size is?
XTRA does not disclose the sample sizes for individual markets, but the minimum is 600.
Weāre off to QLD for the first time this year, specifically the Mackay market:
Star 101.9 maintained its top spot with an increased share, going up 5.2 from last year to 27.1% this year. Triple M remained at 2nd place with 20.6% (+0.3), followed by Hit with 14.8% (-0.3), ABC Tropical North with 13.2% (+2.9), JJJ with 6.2% (-2.4), and 4MK with 4.7% (-3.2).
In the demos, Star is #1 in the 18-39s & 55-64s, with Triple M topping the 10-17s & 40-54s. ABC Tropical North dominates in the 65+, with Triple M edging out 4MK for the #1 commercial station in that same demo.
In breakfast, Starās Rach & Jake topped the slot with 24.2% (+2.8), followed by Triple Mās Jay & Dave at a strong 2nd with 21.4% (+1.5), Hitās Bronte & Lakey with 16.1% (-1.2), and ABC Tropical Northās Rob Kidd (formerly from Star & 4MK) with 15.3% (+3.6).
