Alan Jones has made a rare public comment about the radio ratings

Alan remained on top in Sydney breakfast with a 17.1% share of the listening audience, well clear of his nearest rival, reports 2GB.

He made a rare comment about the ratings, thanking his loyal listeners.

“I’m a bit loathe to say this but the team here tell me I must,” Jones said.
“I rarely talk about myself here… nor do we talk about ratings but there are plenty of people who report on radio ratings that don’t know a thing about it.

“I suppose given some of the headlines over the last few weeks, this may be worth mentioning.
“There are only eight radio ratings a year in Sydney and this breakfast program has now won 221, which is over 30 years.

“My thanks to listeners who are very loyal. They’ve been with me a long time.”

Jones paid tribute to his team who he said collectively had worked with him for 135 years. He then read out some of the congratulatory messages on Facebook from listeners.

One of his listeners celebrated his dress sense and wanted to know where he shops for his jackets.
