Melbourne Radio Ratings Survey 2, 2026. [click to expand.]In Melbourne, Gold’s breakfast performance told a more stable story, with Christian O’Connell holding a 10.5% share, down just 0.1 points - a sharp contrast to his softer showing in Sydney.

A long-established presence in the market after six years on air, O’Connell continues to benefit from familiarity with local audiences, even as his Sydney expansion remains a work in progress.

Elsewhere, Fox FM’s Fifi, Fev and Nick gained ground, rising to 9.6% from 8.8% last survey, while KIIS FM posted a modest lift from 5.1% to 5.4%, suggesting some audience return following earlier disruption linked to the networked rollout of The Kyle and Jackie O Show into the city.
