At drive, Chilli’s numbers spike to 29.2% – and it’s thanks to (you guessed it) Hamish & Andy. The fearless duo comfortably beat out LAFM’s The Drive Home and ABC.

Brian Carlton’s Tasmania Talks is a big hit in the morning on LAFM, while the station also boasts strong numbers in the afternoon, reaching 26.1% listenership.

Naturally, Chilli FM is most popular with younger audiences. The station’s numbers dip progressively with older demographics however, reaching as low as 16.3% in the 65+ age bracket.
