CADA continues to be the most successful DAB+ station in Sydney but still doesn’t seem to be able to get a foothold in the other metros it is available. Melbourne prefers Gold 80s, also from ARN but catering to an older crowd. Elsewhere smooth is top, with HEART starting to make an impact.
Sydney –
CADA #1 (162,000 cume, +4)
HEART and HEART HITS drop somewhat after impressive first survey
Sydneysiders love their local music. KIIS Australia second there for ARN as well with 123,000 cume.
Melbourne –
Neck and neck between Gold 80s and SCA’s DANCE HITS, both the only stations with a greater than 100K cume.
smooth relax next of the best for Nova Entertainment
Other dance stations Blender Beats and KIIS Dance fared well.
Brisbane –
smooth fm Brisbane tops Coles Radio this survey for the first time in a while
Most metros saw a drop in store DAB+ listening which might be connected to less time in store due to escalating fuel costs.
GOLD Brisbane grew its audience. Numbers are still small but Christian O’Connell doubled his breakfast audience to around 13K cume.
Adelaide –
smooth fm the leader, just ahead of Coles Radio.
HEART network picking up audience share too
Perth –
smooth fm top, HEART network picking up listeners
KIIS has found some audience, but not for breakfast
