Brisbane radio ratings: Nova close to retaking number one slot
Nova came close to retaking the title of number one radio station in Brisbane in the latest set of ratings from Nielsen.
Based on weekday share, DMG’s Nova moved back to number one with a rise in share from 12.1% to 12.3%. Former leader Austereo’s B105 fell from 12.2% to 11.9% .
However in seven day share, B105 kept its nose ahead, despite a fall from 12.1% to 11.8%. Nova rose from 11.6% to 11.7%.
The ratings are the first of the year for Brisbane after the first planned survey period was cancelled because of the difficulties of getting diaries into flood-affected areas.
Despite the narrow battle at the top, both Nova and B105 saw drops for the breakfast shows. B105’s Labby Camilla & Stav dropped from 11.7% to 11.3%. However, because Nova’s Meshel, Tim & Marty fell by more – from 11.9% to 11%, the B105 breakfast show moved into first place.

Hi, do you guys deliberately not mention the ABC? I thought the ABC was first, then daylight, then B105?

Hi Simon,
I tend to focus on the commercial battle which obviously the ABC isn’t part of. If there was feedback that we should cover the ABC too, then I’d be happy to give it some thought.
Cheers,

Understood. But surely PRs want to know whether it’s worth targetting ABC producers with press releases, – just as valuable as buying commercials.

The other good reason for covering the ABC – in this case the extraordinary and sustained success of Spencer Howson in the Brisbane breakfast shift – is that every person who is tuned into Aunty isn’t listening to commercial radio. With strong local ABC radio stations across Australia, there must be a message there for the commercial operators and their potential advertisers.
