Austereo’s 2Day ends year on top inspite of Kyle & Jackie O scandals

Austereo’s 2Day FM in Sydney has ended the ratings year in the top spot among the music stations despite controversies that have engulfed its breakfast presenters Kyle & Jackie O, while 2GB remained strong among the talk stations.  

According to the final Nielsen radio ratings results, overall in Sydney, 2Day had a leading 11.1 per cent share compared to DMG Radio Nova’s 8.7 per cent.

In the crucial breakfast time slot 2Day rose 1.5 percentage points to 12.5 per cent, ahead of Nova’s 10.5 per cent which similarly rose 1.7 percentage points.

The result for 2Day is a far cry from the June 28 to September 5 ratings period when the show lost nearly a fifth of its audience share in the wake of the lie detector scandal.
