Melbourne radio ratings: Christian O’Connell helps Gold FM topple Fox FM
Gold has overtaken Fox as the FM station with the highest audience share. The climb was helped by breakfast host Christian O’Connell who now holds a 9.5% share after rising 1.5 percentage points, edging incredibly close to Fox FM’s winning share of 9.6%.
Fox FM’s breakfast offering of the Fifi, Fev and Byron Show, which saw ex-Gogglebox star Yvie Jones filling in for Fifi Box while she was on maternity leave for the majority of the survey period, fell 0.4 percentage points in survey six.
O’Connell came over to Australia last year
That press photo of Christian makes me sad… is he that conceited in real life or is he merely trying to project that?
Can’t understand how or why that photo is still being used, the exact pic was used for everything OC related on Absolute Radio, here in the UK. What you haven’t sussed, is that everything with Christian is tongue in cheek, photo included. Try listening. Your gin is very much our loss.
Honestly it gets a bit boring listening to him brag about his lavish lifestyle and [Edited under Mumbrella’s comment moderation policy].
Obviously on the big bucks but sad for the rest of us who are struggling to make ends meet. Don’t know of any other announcer who goes on and on about the family holidays, new house, overseas trips etc. And has so much time off! But then he will do something nice for a listener and the whole saga changes and I think he’s not so bad, I’m confused!
