The results of 2022’s 8th and final GfK Radio Ratings Metro & DAB+ have been released, and Ben Fordham is king!
Getting the obvious out of the way first, Ben Fordham beat out Kyle & Jackie O and returned to number one! Worth acknowledging that Jackie O has taken time out to concentrate on her health.
In Melbourne, 3AW clung to the top spot, and ABC’s Sammy J got knocked out of a prime top-three position.
Perth and Brisbane saw Kate, Tim & Joel hang on to the number one spot in the drive slot. However, in Adelaide, Tommy & Carrie reigned supreme and tied with Will & Woody.
A big trend was seeing the downswing in ABC’s radio shows across the board.
