Howson

The ABC’s Spencer Howson has retained his title as the highest rating breakfast host in Brisbane for the second survey in a row.

Today’s GfK ratings show that while Australian Radio Network’s 97.3FM has held onto its FM ratings crown in the city, with a 11.5 per cent share (down 0.8 per cent), all the major commercial stations, bar Triple M, shed audience share.

While ARN maintained its top place, Southern Cross FM station B105 also dropped 0.8 points to 8.6 per cent while Nova’s 106.9FM shed 0.2 per cent to a 11.5 per cent share.

I can’t understand why 4BC is doing so badly in Brisbane. Talk stations are number one in both Sydney and Melbourne, what is wrong with Brisbane? Why are silly FM music stations winning?

Heads have to roll at 4bc , used to be a go to station for me , but now the lightweight content is so disappointing . Sad to have to listen to good quality radio via the net.
4pc share simply not viable . Somebody do something!
