Southern Cross Austereo’s Mix94.5 extended its lead over Nova93.7 as Perth’s most listened to FM station as both suffered a drop off in listeners in the latest radio ratings survey.

Mix saw a 0.7 fall to an overall share 13.8, while its nearest competitor dropped 0.9 points to 12.6 in the seven weeks to December 6. Nova had clawed level with Mix in survey 6 before Mix re-established its lead in survey 7.

The decline of both stations allowed Fairfax Radio’s 96FM to inch closer after capturing 10.2, up from 9.4.

Mix also stretched its lead in the breakfast slot after a slight increase in share to 14.3. Nova fell away, falling from 13.8 to 12.8. Triple J, which took an overall share of 11, up from 10.4, closed the gap with a one point rise to 11.
