Sydney radio ratings: 2Day FM Breakfast edges up to a 2.6% share
2Day FM’s breakfast program in Sydney fronted by former Triple M content director Jamie Angel has experienced a nominal increase of 0.1 share points, taking it to an audience share of 2.6%.
Despite the increase, it remains at the bottom of the commercial FM breakfast battle, well behind market leaders Kyle Sandilands and Jackie ‘O’ Henderson (Kyle and Jackie O) on Kiis 106.5, who hold an 11.2% share.
2Day FM’s final talent-fronted breakfast program, featuring Grant Denyer, Ash London and Ed Kavalee, bowed out with a 2.4% share earlier this year.

According to GfK, the average audience by session for Jones is 141,000, while Kyle and Jackie O are on 98,000.
At the other end of the scale, 2Day FM’s average audience is 23,000, and Macquarie Sports Radio’s is 6,000 in breakfast.
Triple M’s Moonman in the Morning, featuring Laurence Mooney, climbed 0.5 points to a 6.9% share, while Smooth FM climbed 0.1 points to 7.1%.

Overall, the station has a 0.8% share.

Late last month, the broadcaster announced it was pausing its talk-based programs as it reviewed its future, following the departure of CEO Adam Lang.
Macquarie Media stablemate 2GB, however, fared far better, remaining on top with an overall share of 13.3%, down just 0.1 points from last survey.
