There's been three surveys this week, two regional ones and today’s GfK Radio 360 Metro Survey 2. All eyes were on the KIIS Network’s Kyle and Jackie O in Survey 2. Yesterday Kyle Sandilands said he is willing to pull the pin in the city if the attempts to bed in in that market affect Sydney. That seemed a prescient comment today as, after a couple of big promos, tailored to Melbourne the duo went up by 0.7 to a 5.8 audience share but the cost was a 1 point loss to 12.3 in Sydney and a cumulative audience of near 100 thousand. The losses outweighed the gains. Jen looks at the talk stations and the Adelaide market, where that city saw a changing of the guard as Mix 102.3 and Nova 91.9 both overtook Triple M. Cada had a good result and Thy's voice cloned shift did well.. Listen to all the analysis in today's bonus podcast episode.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode with Jen Seyderhelm, she tackles: ARN’s AI DJ Thy ruffles feathers No Australian Commercial Radio Awards this year Hamish and Andy lock in more years with SCA Triple M decides on its replacements for Marty Sheargold 45 years for Graham Ross and Mike Perso plus, as usual, the National Radio Airplay Chart song of the week.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In Sydney 2GB is No 1 station just ahead of smooth 95.3. Ben Fordham is No 1 for GB on breakfast, Kyle and Jackie O No 1 FM. Smooth’s Bogart Torelli and Jonesy and Amanda on Gold 101.7 saw the biggest losses and the biggest gains were for triple j off the back of the Hottest 100 and for Nova 96.9, bearing in mind that Kate Ritchie has been on personal leave from breakfast with Fitzy and Wippa since early Feb. Mark Levy who took over from Ray Hadley on 2GB Mornings when Ray retired last year held on to No 1 spot. Melbourne, 3AW is a long way ahead at No 1 and for Ross and Russ on breakfast. No 1 FM breakfast belonged to Christian O’Connell who was up most of all and overtook Fifi Fev and Nick at the fox and Jase and Lauren at Nova 100 along the way. RSN 927 apparently will not feature in GfK surveys in 2025. Radioinfo has reached out to the station for comment. Brisbane – b105 retains No 1 overall and on breakfast. Marto Margaux and Dan at triple M have closed the gap though. Adelaide Triple M moved further in front at the top but strangely had a 2.1% drop on breakfast for Roo, Ditts and Loz. I expect that to change when survey 2 and AFL seasons are included. A massive congrats to Sonya and Jules on ABC Adelaide breakfast, up 2.8 and going from 5th to second behind the triple M team. And finally Perth where nova 93.7 and Nath, Nat and Shaun on breakfast are as unassailable as Russ and Ross on 3AW in Melbourne. Nath, Nat and Shaun were up 3.6% to a 19.8% audience share. 96FM’s Clairsy and Lisa were also up 1.5 to 12.6 in second. Jen Seyderhelm also explores the weekly reach results (cume) and the digital station results in this special boinus podcast episode of the Radio Today Podcast.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
