Adelaide’s Mix102.3 has increased its market-leading position in the first GfK radio ratings for 2018 with a total audience share of 16.1%, backed by strong gains across all timeslots which came largely at the expense of Nova91.9.
Jodie Oddy and Mark Soda Soderstrom’s breakfast show gained 3.3 audience share points to take 15.1% of the total audience, beating out FIVEaa’s David Penberthy and Will Goodings who attracted 13.8% of the city’s listeners, down from 14.9% at the end of last year.
