In Sydney, it was a strong month for Ben Fordham, with the breakfast maestro gaining an impressive two per cent audience share for his breakfast show.

For the latest ratings month in Sydney, Fordham pulled in a 16.2 per cent audience share, up from 14.2 per cent for the previous ratings period.

Despite his impressive gain, it was not enough to beat Kyle and Jackie O.

In a nail-biting rivalry the duo just nudged ahead of Fordham with a 16.3 per cent audience share for their morning slot.

Despite winning the breakfast crown, however, KIIS1065 did not have an overall win – its overall audience share of 11.5 per cent was not enough to topple 2GB’s 12.4 per cent.

Meanwhile, closet fans will be relieved to know that they are not the only ones listening to smoothfm 95.3 -the station picked up a 1.5 per cent gain in viewers this month, lifting to 10.6 per cent.

The biggest faller in overall listens was 104.9 TRIPLE M which dropped 0.7 per cent to a 5.4 per cent audience share.
