Total audience share ratings, Survey 8 2014. Source: GfK
The final radio ratings of the year have seen KiisFM’s Kyle Sandilands and Jackie ‘O’ Henderson boost their lead in the FM breakfast radio battle climbing to an audience share of 11.3, still 3.5 per cent behind market leader Alan Jones on 2GB.
Nova will be buoyed after its national Drive trio of Kate Ritchie, Marty Sheargold and Tim Blackwell reclaimed the top spot across all networks raising their share by 1.2 points to 10.1, leapfrogging ABC702’s Richard Glover who dropped 0.6 to 9.4 points.
2GB ended the year top of the pile for total people share with 12.1, down 0.2 on the last survey, whilst Australian Radio Network’s WSFM topped the FM charts with an 8.9 share, holding of stablemate KiisFM which had 8.6 points.
its been the year of Alan Jones and Kyle and Jackie O.
They both have the haters, but people love to hate and tune in.
well done to both.
So 2ue management does it again. Another lacklustre year. When will fairfax realise that it’s the people running their station who are the problem. Not always the DJs
I guess 2UE will do what it always does and throw out this year and start again. Sad that 2GB has no competition.
“2UE’s breakfast team of Garry Linnell and John Stanley ended the year on 4.7 share, up 0.6 on their first outing.”
Not according to the table you published at the end – 4.6 is DOWN 0.6 from 5.3 last survey.
Hi Rrrosco,
Should have read – on their first outing of the year – i.e survey 1.
Cheers,

I thought 2ue have improved this year, they couldn’t do really worse really. They had taken Jones down a bit in brekky, lately Jones fired up against the govt bringing his ratings back but all in all its a good start.
No just checked. 2UE year on year has gone backwards. 🙁
Michael, Did those people fire you? If so they are very astute?
The station is on a steady slow rise. Nice to hear Ian Rogeson in the afternoon the week. They should put him on weekends. Good luck to them in 2015.
Sydney is appatently Australia’s bogan capital.
