Sydney radio ratings: Kyle & Jackie O retains #1FM, Fordham overall leader as smoothFM leads drive
KIIS FM’s Kyle & Jackie O has retained the top spot in FM breakfast radio, but it was again Nine’s Ben Fordham who kept the title of #1 breakfast show, with 2GB topping this book overall in Sydney, despite losing listeners in the sixth radio ratings survey of 2022. See last survey results here.
While Kyle & Jackie O retained #1 in FM breakfast, the radio duo also saw an increase in listeners, up 0.3 points to a 12.8% share, however, the KIIS FM network overall saw a decline down to 9.5%.

Ben Fordham takes top spot in survey six.
Lol! “[P]articularly in Sydney where Kyle and Jackie O continue to reign supreme in breakfast”. Ben Fordham continues “to reign supreme in breakfast”. These are Sydney radio ratings of the WHOLE radio market and like most listeners due to DAB+, app usage, push button radios etc, do not care about what band their fav station is on. Ben Fordham leads the Sydney radio market, and that’s a fact that can’t be argued with.
Good to see ABC Breakfast edging up in breakfast share.
James Valentine is a very warm and welcoming Breakfast talent but not that familiar to breakfast listeners. It was always going to be difficult to emulate Robby and Wendy, but there are indicators of some adhesion by the listeners as they ‘sample’ James.
David exactly Ben still leads the pack and I’m glad for the app as my car radio doesn’t work so I listen through the app on my phone
