Over in Brisbane, it was a battle between Nova and Triple M. In a reversal of fortunes, Nova enjoyed gains across the board while it was all falls for Triple M.
In Adelaide, Mix102.3 ruled the breakfast slot, although its 13.2 per cent audience share did suffer a 0.8 per cent hit since the last survey results. However, it has the ABC nipping at its heels – the public broadcaster up 0.9 per cent to 12.8 per cent audience share.
Over in the west, Nova remains the pick of the Perth breakfast shows with 14.6 per cent share, although it was down 0.4 per cent. Yet its reign may soon be over, with the fast improving Mix 94.5 up an impressive 1.3 per cent to 13.9 per cent.
