ABC
Local Radio
Survey 7 was one of the worst in recent memory for ABC Local radio. For years the ABC has come a reliable second to 2GB in Sydney and 3AW in Melbourne. Today they came 5th and 4th on an 8.7 and a 9.3 respectively.
It’s not so much that they have lost share (Sydney went up 0.4) but that FM stations like smooth, WSFM and GOLD have gained listeners and overtaken them.
Adelaide and Perth both took substantial hits, -1.2 and -1.1 respectively while Brisbane gained 0.2.
triple j
triple j recorded a mixed survey result. Up in Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth but down in Sydney and Adelaide.
