ABC Radio stations in Sydney and Melbourne have suffered a dramatic collapse in their listenerships, with the national broadcaster recording one of its worst ever ratings results in the key metropolitan markets in the latest audience survey.
ABC Radio lost market share in every single timeslot in the nation’s two biggest markets, with the breakfast and morning shows the most notable failures in both capitals, according to the latest ratings survey conducted by research company GfK.
In Sydney, ABC’s breakfast program, fronted by Craig Reucassel, commanded just 5.9 per cent of the city’s overall breakfast radio audience, down 1.2 percentage points on his audience share in the previous ratings poll.
