The station remains the clear leader 40-55 and #1 FM 55-64.

Breakfast with Abby and Stav will add Osher Gunsberg next year. The duo ended their year on 8.7% (-0.5) after posting a year high of 9.5% in survey one after farewelling Labby at the end of 2014. Hamish and Andy have given up the #1 drive slot with share down 1.5 to 12.5%. The station remains #1 18-24.

4KQ 8.0% Share edged higher this survey, but remains behind its best of 8.7% in survey two. Consistent numbers though across the year with all moves within a point of the high. Breakfast with Laurel, Gary and Mark closed off 2015 on an improved 7.8% (+0.4) with a year best of 8.7% in survey one. Share 55-64 lifted 2.7% to finish the year on 21.3%.

4BC 4.6% The move to broadcast Alan Jones and Ray Hadley into Brisbane has saved money and kept the ratings steady. The 10+ share has ended the year better than it started on 4.0% in survey one. However along the way it peaked at 5.9% in survey six. Breakfast with Alan Jones has ended 2015 on 6.1%. Again that is better than survey one's 5.1%, but behind the high of 6.5% in survey seven. Ray Hadley had the best share this survey, with morning on 6.6%.

Magic 882 3.2% Share was down a point this survey, and nearly two points behind the 5.0% recorded in survey four. Breakfast tumbled 1.1 to 3.1%, trailing the 5.3% in survey three.
