Australian Radio Network’s 96FM was the big winner in the early weeks of 2015 as it leapt both Nova93.7 and Triple J to become Perth’s second most listened to radio station, behind Southern Cross Austereo’s Mix94.5.

The station, acquired by ARN from Fairfax at the end of last year, saw its share climb 1.3 points to 11.5 per cent which coincided with a 1.2 point fall at Nova and two point decline at Triple J as the stations took 11.4 per cent and nine per cent respectively.

Nova particularly suffered in the 25 to 39 and 40 to 54 demographic with falls of 6.8 and 3.5 points to 15.5 per cent and 8.3 per cent.
