Perth radio ratings: 96FM goes top for the first time since 2013
96FM’s journey from the doldrums to claiming the Perth radio ratings throne is complete, as the Australian Radio Network station claimed the number one spot with a 13.2% share overall in the seventh GfK radio survey of 2020.
The station’s meteoric rise began when its first program director Gary Roberts was appointed as 96 FM’s managing director in April of 2019. At the time, the station was rating 7.8% overall.
In a matter of months, he’d axed the incumbent breakfast show Paul and Lise in favour of bringing Fred Botica out of retirement, to team up with Lisa Shaw, as well as overhauling the station’s music strategy.
