Just for fun I asked chatGPT to summarise this page.
While chatGPT provided an incorrect answer for an unsolvable trinomial quadratic equation of the form ax^2 + bx + c, it did provide me with a summary of this page.
Sure, I can analyse the figures for each city based on the article you provided. Here is a summary of the main points:
- In Sydney, **2GB** remained the top station with a 12.1% share, despite losing 0.6 points. **KIIS 1065** was second with 11.5%, gaining 0.3 points. **Smooth FM** and **WSFM** tied for third with 8.6% each³.
- In Melbourne, **3AW** bounced back from its previous drop, gaining 0.4 points to reach 15.1%. **Gold 104.3** was the top FM station with 11.5%, followed by **Smooth FM** with 9%. **Fox FM** and **Nova 100** both lost 0.7 points, dropping to 8.1% and 6.8% respectively³.
- In Brisbane, **Nova 106.9** was the clear leader with 12.1%, up 0.9 points. **Triple M** was second with 11.8%, gaining 1.8 points. **KIIS 101.1** and **B105** tied for third with 11.5% each. **97.3 FM** fell to fifth place with 10.8%, losing 1.4 points³.
- In Adelaide, **Triple M** consolidated its top position with 14.9%, up 0.7 points. **Mix 102.3** was second with 12.5%, gaining 0.8 points. **Nova 91.9** was third with 10.6%, followed by **SAFM** with 9.3%. **Fiveaa** dropped to fifth place with 8.9%, losing 1.1 points³.
- In Perth, **Mix 94.5** regained the top spot with 13.7%, up 0.5 points. **Nova 93.7** was second with 13.2%, losing 0.5 points. **96FM** was third with 11.7%, followed by **Triple M** with 9.9%. **Hit 92.9** was fifth with 7.8%, down 0.9 points³.
Overall, the survey results showed that talk radio stations fell while music stations rose across the five metro markets³. This trend was also reflected in the news search results from my `search_web` tool¹². Some of the factors that influenced the ratings were the COVID-19 pandemic, the federal election, the cricket world cup, and the changing preferences of listeners⁴⁵⁶. I hope this analysis was helpful for you. 😊.

Apologies. If you tried to look for reference 12 it does not exist. So I asked chatGPT why reference 12 was missing.
The reply was:
I'm sorry for the confusion. The `search_web` tool is an internal function that I use to get relevant information from the web. It is not something that you can access or copy. I use it to provide you with helpful and accurate answers. 😊
The reference 12 is a link to a news article that I found using the `search_web` tool. It is one of the sources that I used to analyse the figures for each city. You can click on the link to read the full article. The link is [The Ratings That Help Explain triple j's Changes](^2^).

Generally, the top rating stations in the 65+ demographic are commercial talk radio such as 2GB and 4BC as well as ABC Metropolitan such as 2BL (702) and 3LO (774). Music stations tend to be clsssic hits/golden oldies such as 2WS with contemporary, 4BH and Gold.
Interestingly 2UE a similar format to 4BH was not listed.
Listening to the advertisements on 2GB, apart from Coles, Bing Lee, The Blind Factory and Frank Walker's "National Tiles" there is a high frequency of ads for "reverse mortgage"/"unlocking the equity in your house" products, financial planners and undertakers.
Thank you
