The Massaging Of The Sydney FM Radio Market

Australia’s Survey 6 radio ratings are in, and there’s plenty to unpack! I joined Max Munday on Biz Audio for our regular ratings breakdown, examining the reshaping of Sydney’s FM radio landscape following Kyle & Jackie O’s departure from the market. Are we witnessing a genuine shift in listening habits, or simply the redistribution of an established audience? Meanwhile, congratulations to Brisbane’s Classic Hits 4BH on claiming the number one overall position, finally achieving the milestone that its predecessor, the legendary 4KQ, left unfinished.

But there’s much more to this survey than the headline numbers. We examine the AFL and NRL radio ratings wash-up, the stations making strategic gains, and what the latest results reveal about Australian radio. Plus, I make a strong prediction for 2027 that could have significant implications for the industry. We go beyond the numbers to examine the programming decisions, competitive strategies and personalities shaping the market.
