Radio Ratings: SCA lands Brisbane duopoly as M’s go #1

What’s happened to 2UE and the Magic/sports……. whatever they are called theses days??

Why is there no result for 2UE?

Where’s 2UE? Did Nine Radio opt out this survey due to the format and name change?

973 have been Robbed.

Trevor, Scott and Michael – READ the article! LOL

It looks like Cruise is number 1 on AM in Adelaide, not ABC

So it looks like MMM Brisbane did the right thing by not renewing Robin Bailey’s contract for 2020. I just wish I knew why 97.3 replaced Bianca Dye for her, what a mistake!!!

Triple M is a disaster except for Brisbane. Something needs a major change.

97.3 in Brisbane also needs a complete re-think. It could be doing so much better.

Smooth need to stop with the newer boring stuff like Hey Soul Sister etc, and go back to the heritage acts and hits that made them successful. This is what happens when you tamper with formats.

Triple M Melbourne and Triple M Sydney going nowhere fast. Drive is not and has not done well since day one. Both breakfast shows pathetically lagging behind. They miss Will in Melbourne and Moonman isn’t Sydney, too scripted, not natural and not that funny, sorry.

Jackson strikes again!
Got rid of the music director in Brisbane to network Sydney music.
Now the Brisbane daytime share is the same as Sydney.

97.3 have made a massive mistake. The new old breakfast show sounds tired, and bereft of ideas. They are repeating content they did years ago and they seem to have become the home of dad jokes. Sad for the presenters they replaced who of course went out winners, but I don’t think have found new jobs yet.

Debby, I agree. Smooth have tampered too much with their winning formula. I think they will slide unless they reintroduce the older and rarer tracks they used to play. Smooth Relax on DAB is what Smooth FM used to be. Smooth FM is sounding boring and repetitive.

I agree Felix. Nothing personal but Robyn is overrated in my opinion. The same old victim stories over and over. 97.3 could be so much better. It has a split personality. Is it KIIS or is it Mix? Either way the playlist is so boring, repetitive and safe it’s unlistenable. It’s like they are deliberately trying to pick only the lamest of songs.

Has anyone done a welfare check on 94.5 in Perth? Down 3.5 10+ and 3.9 in breakfast. The resurrection of 96fm has resulted in an absolute bloodbath at Roberts Rd. Thoughts and prayers.

Totally agree with Debby & AJ on smooth fm. Mucked around way too much with the format and I suspect alienated many listeners along the way. Repetitive & to many recent songs at the expense of the really diverse & older music. Although to be fair we gave up listening to it some months ago. We did discover smooth relax back in September though, and It is pretty good. In some ways better than the original smooth as they even play more from the 60s, and have snuck in the lighter songs from acts like Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, The Doors and Procol Harum. Love the diversity as Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole get played …. they just need to get rid of some of the really recent stuff

Welldone 2DayFM. Over taking the M’s in Sydney. Breakfast hasn’t gone down since the change. Great job

What the hell has happened to the triple m network. Is Mike fits still in charge of Perth as well ? Today is not the day to be mixing up the coffee order at mmm Melbs. Who ordered the flat white with almond milk !!!

I was a constant listener to SMOOTH but switched off recently.
Too many country/rock songs and tracks that I don’t like. Go back to what you were doing and play the songs that made you successful in the first place.

91.9 in Adelaide up in under 25’s, down over 25’s. Significantly down 25+. Guess that’s what happens when you put 2 x 21 year olds in 6-9a.

When are they going to do something about Katie on Nova mornings in Brisbane

Eddie McGuire’s Cold Breakfast…

Dear SCA, it’s time to pull the pin on Mix 94.5 in Perth. Brand it Triple M and focus on what you need to do to turn it around. It could work, but you’ve just gotta commit, rather than the current half-baked Triple M-Lite. You’ve got a heap of Triple M stations coming to the regional areas. At least if people go to Perth, give them a uniform experience.

Worthy to note Melbourne no longer surveys a majority of its commercial AM stations.

The rationale for RSN 927 not being included has been argued long ago. While it could be argued 1377 AM is no longer a distinct enough entity to survey SEN+ alongside 1116 SEN (which is unfortunately going through it’s lowest ratings since it started in 2004).

More notable is the decision not to include Nine Radio (Magic/2UE/4BH) in the survey. It’s therefore mostly guesswork in determining what, if any, impact this station is having in each city it broadcasts to.

The lack of any breakfast or other personality is my main grievance with this station. As others have commented, there’s an opportunity to reassert this station at the older end of demographics with Smooth now engaging more than ever in the Under 55s.

Last I heard Over 55s still have a heartbeat and a bit of money in the bank. A friendly memo to any millennial that may be residing in the Nine C-suite: invest in your assets.

Only other really notable developments I can see is that there’s something to localizing the sound of stations otherwise trapped in nationwide generic branding. 2Day are doing about as well as you might expect in difficult circumstances so that raises questions of how to turnaround 94.5 in Perth (do you go more local or boldly go full Triple M – and what would that mean anyway given the broader branding malaise of Triple M?).

Triple M Brisbane is indeed an exception but hasn’t it always been the case? over the decades they’ve often marched to the beat of their own drum even within a network.

Again, Jase and PJ defy the odds at KIIS. Most notably on the up even as Fox rises too. ARN deserve credit for being patient.

Boom ! Nova in Adelaide look at those
10-24‘s go, a very good sign for a CHR.

Had to google it. Triple M – a general feeling of discomfort, illness, or unease whose exact cause is difficult to identify.
And that stupid giraffe ad, ridiculous.

Jase and PJ defy the odds at KIIS. Yes all contests, giveaways and heaps of marketing. Won’t last, check score end of this year. If Nova got their s***t together Kiis Jase and PJ would be back on 4-5 share.

@oh no-ova – Mornings at Nova Brisbane have been on a steady decline for a few surveys now. I don’t think the blame lies with the change of music Director in December

Triple M Adelaide is Terrible. What happened to Dale Lewis? Will he be on throughout footy season. Does anyone know what show he is on now? That new show is rubbish, Not informative or funny.
