Radio Ratings: ARN’s 97.3FM holds onto ratings crown in Brisbane
Australian Radio Network’s (ARN) 97.3FM has held onto its ratings crown despite its Monday to Sunday audience declining by 0.8 share points to 12.6 per cent share.
Its closest rival Nova106.9 boosted its overall audience by 0.5 share points to sit on a 12.4 per cent share while B105 sat in third place on 10.5 per cent.
Guy Dobson chief content officer for Southern Cross Austereo, which owns B105 and Triple M said he was disappointed with the result. “Brisbane was disappointing for us. B105 went up but we had higher expectations for Triple M. Our polling shows we should be smashing it there,” said Dobson.
