Re. 4BC holding its ground, what you're missing is that 4BC has consistently hovered a point either side of 5% (10+) since Fairfax/MRN removed nearly all the local staff.
17 hours local radio out of 168 hours in a week or 10.11% local is disrespectful to any market purporting to be serious talkback.
The result looks poor, is low on cost, seemingly the only thing MRN worry of.
4BC will never improve until local programs are invested and the station regains the respect of Brisbane.
