Breakfast has been a closely fought battle throughout the year in Brisbane. After Nova and Hit 105 tied at the top in the previous survey, Nova dropped down to a 10.1% share this survey with the team of Ash Bradnam, Kip Wightman, David ‘Luttsy’ Lutteral and Susie O’Neill down one point. Hit held onto second position with an 11% share, but once again holding an equal score, this time with Triple M’s team of Greg Martin, Nick Cody and Margaux Parker – who took over from Robin Bailey in September – up 0.5 points from the previous survey.
