ARN station 97.3FM has regained the lead in the Brisbane radio market in both the Monday to Friday and full week ratings after falling behind rival B105 in the previous ratings survey on weekdays.

The station had a 12.9 share Monday to Sunday up by 1.1 share point, while on weekdays it was up 0.9 per cent to 12.9 per cent.

97.3FM’s ratings surge was helped by  a strong performance for Drive Home With Campo which rose to number one with 14.5 per centshare.

Meanwhile, in the tight competitive FM market, Southern Cross Austereo’s B105 was down fractionally to 11.5 per cent, DMG’s Nova 106.9FM was up 0.6 share points to 12.5 per cent and  SCA’s Triple M was up 1.1 to 11 per cent.

SCA’s chief content officer Guy Dobson told Mumbrella: “It’s a really tight market and it is going to be a long and protracted battle.”

Talkback station 4BC fell slightly to 6.5 per cent while the ABC’s 612 fell to 9.9.

The public broadcaster retained the number one slot in breakfast with Spencer Howson on a 13.2 per cent share.
