The two stations easily beat out once-dominant AM station FIVEaa, which continued 2018’s slide, falling 0.6 points to 9.3%. The drop put it behind HIT107, which picked up 0.2 points to finish the survey with 9.6% of the audience.

Mix’s strength across the day saw its breakfast show featuring Jodie and Soda pick up 0.5 points to tie with ABC Adelaide with 13.3% of the audience. ABC Adelaide dropped 1.1 points in the slot.
FIVEaa’s David Penberthy and Will Goodings saw a further slump in the slot, declining 1.0% to 12.4% while Hit107’s new breakfast lineup of Rebecca Morse and Andrew Costello picked up 1.9 points to take 9.7% of the audience, slightly behind Nova’s 9.9%
At the other end of the day, 5MMM was the big winner with the Jars & Louie and Kennedy Molloy drive time combination picking up 2.5 points to finish with 9.7% of the audience.

It also sat behind Mix102.3, which picked up 0.5 points to a share of 12.6%. Hit107 reversed last survey’s improvement to take a 9.3% share, down 0.4 points.
Unfortunately this only includes radio stations who pay to be apart of the survey. Adelaide has a community radio station which has a Hight volume of listeners.

Where is SEN SA? They are still a commercial radio station, and I agree it’s a shame all stations in each market can’t be a part of the survey.
