As well as a continued strong showing in the Sydney ratings, John Laws is still the king of morning radio in Regional Australia.

The recent regional surveys show that, in his 50th year of broaadcasting, Laws “is attracting more and more listeners across Australia,” according to Southern Cross Syndication’s Bill Barrington.

Recent ratings figures across “God’s Great Garden,” (as Laws calls it) have been good for Laws, who is this year travelling around all markets where he is broadcast to mark his 50 years in the business.

In the recent Albury ratings, the John Laws Morning Show increased its listening share by 4 points, securing a 19.4% share of the market.

2AY Program Director told radioinfo:“The show attracts a loyal listener base, particularly in the 40 + age group… It’s great having Laws as such a strong part of our radio station.”

Laws is also heard on the AMI Easy Listening station in Mackay, which has just recently added the program to its schedule. Laws increased the timeslot by 5 share points to 16.8% this survey.

Network General Manager Derek Wells said: “The program has only recently been introduced to the Mackay market… and we’re ecstatic about the way Laws has boosted our audience share.”

The John Laws Morning Show is heard on 63 stations around the country through Southern Cross Syndication. The program holds the dominant morning position in most of those markets, and is heard by more than two million people weekly.
