The Kyle & Jackie O Show continues to dominate the radio ratings in Sydney and is gaining momentum in Melbourne, adding 48,000 new listeners to its tally.

The show achieved a share of 14.1% on KIIS 1065 in the fourth survey of the year, attracting a weekly cume audience of 696,000 in Sydney. This marks their 44th consecutive survey as Sydney’s #1 FM Breakfast show.

In Melbourne, the show boosted KIIS 101.1’s breakfast total to 502,000 listeners, an increase of 48,000, giving them a combined breakfast cume audience of nearly 1.2 million listeners.

"Despite their 25 years on air together, The Kyle & Jackie O Show is still a brand-new show for Melbourne, and we are encouraged by these early results. In particular, the increase in cume demonstrates that the show is attracting new listeners and as that cume is converted to loyal listening, we’ll see share increasing. We know it will take a few more surveys before their presence truly starts to resonate with the Melbourne audience, but we’re excited to build on this foundation and are confident that Kyle & Jackie O will continue to capture the hearts of Melbourne listeners just as they have in Sydney," said Duncan Campbell, ARN Chief Content Officer.

The Kyle & Jackie O Show is Australia’s most listened to show ever, with a combined breakfast cume audience of nearly 1.2 million. The show is also Australia’s #1 radio catch-up podcast, with nearly 1.7 million monthly downloads and over 500,000 listeners in May. The show is broadcast on KIIS 101.1 Melbourne and KIIS 1065 Sydney every weekday morning from 6.00am, with highlights replayed across the KIIS Network nationally at 6.00pm.

Meanwhile, the 2GB team was celebrating 20 years of consecutive ratings wins for its radio broadcaster, Ray Hadley – one of the longest winning streaks of all time, it claimed. Survey 4 of Radio360 ratings saw The Ray Hadley Morning Show record a 16.4 share, up 1.1 points.

“A lot has happened personally and professionally over the past 20 years. My now adult children were children themselves when this journey started and now they have provided me with 7 wonderful grandchildren – those little ones usurp any commercial success," Hadley said. “A wise old broadcaster once told me: ‘Be yourself, get in before anyone else and work public holidays’. The formula seems to have worked."

Managing Director of Nine Radio, Tom Malone cited it as an extraordinary achievement. "As far we know, no individual broadcaster has been number one for 20 years, without a blip," he said. It all comes down to Ray’s work ethic and his commitment to his listeners.”

Hadley’s unbeaten streak started in Survey 4, 2004 and he remains the most decorated radio host in Australian Commercial Radio Award (ACRA) history, with 34 awards. He was inducted into the ACRA Hall of Fame in 2017.

After 19 successful years broadcasting at 2UE, Hadley joined 2GB in late 2001 and on 4th March 2002, The Ray Hadley Morning Show first went to air. Hadley is also the founding member of The Continuous Call Team (CCT). Hadley will this year be Nine Radio’s lead commentator for his seventh Olympic Games.

And over at NOVA Entertainment, the team was claiming it had retained the highest total audience of any metro network, with a #1 FM station in two of the five metro markets; Smooth 95.3 and Nova 93.7.

"Our Nova 100 team have the most listened to Breakfast show in a highly competitive market and we couldn't be prouder of the entire team behind this significant result," said NOVA Entertainment CEO Peter Charlton said.

Group Program Director for the Nova Network, Brendan Taylor added that across the network, we have a number one station.

"We've grown CUME in both Sydney and Melbourne which are all positive signs. There's plenty to do in the back half of the year but it's pleasing to see these results at the halfway mark," he said.
