Nine Radio national content manager Greg Byrnes said these are stunning results and lay the foundations for another dominant year for live and local content.
"We've had big audience gains right across the network, particularly in 25-54s. 3AW is clearly the heartbeat of Melbourne. Today's 16.8 share is the station's best survey 1 result in over 15 years and we congratulate the entire team," Byrnes said.
“In Sydney, for 2GB to be number one after major line up changes is also remarkable. In Brisbane, there's been a solid increase in breakfast while Perth, Breakfast is number one talk.
“With a federal election there will be no let up in the content and we thank those listeners across the country for turning to us every day.”
ARN chief content officer Duncan Campbell said the company's priority in 2025 is to turn casual listeners into devoted fans.
"With a show built on big stars and unmissable moments, we know we have a winning formula," Campbell said.
"Across the network, we’ve seen standout performances, including 96FM’s Clairsy & Lisa lifting by 1.5% in Perth Breakfast. A big thank you to our teams and loyal listeners – we’re excited to build on this momentum in 2025."
NOVA Entertainment CEO Peter Charlton said he is immensely proud of his teams nationwide for opening the year with some fantastic numbers.
"A special shoutout to our Nova 106.9 team in Brisbane for an outstanding Breakfast debut," Charlton said.
"We are committed to providing more listeners in the most trusted environments for our commercial partners to connect with their customers. We look forward to building on this momentum throughout the year."
SCA chief content officer Dave Cameron said Melbourne has lapped up the brilliant new Mick in the Morning Breakfast show on its debut, achieving the best Triple M breakfast result in six years.
"This team with Mick, Roo, Titus and Rosie are delivering magic chemistry already, and we see an exciting year ahead for the show as it becomes the breakfast destination to listen to as the footy season heats up," Cameron said.
