Australian Radio Network’s MIX102.3 regained its lead over FIVEaa in the latest GfK survey of the Adelaide radio market.
A steady gain by the MIX102.3 breakfast team of Jodie Oddy and Mark ‘Soda’ Soderstrom while FIVEaa faded by 1.6 percentage points in the 5:30am to 9am timeslot gave the FM station the edge over its AM competitor.
Across the rest of the FM band, HIT107 had the greatest gain of 1.1 percentage points, again buoyed by a strong gain of 2.3 points by the breakfast team of Amos, Cat and Angus.
