Leading Australian Conservative Radio Station Loses Lead a Year After Top Host Retires
Leading conservative Sydney radio station 2GB has lost its number one position for the first time in nearly two decades.
KIIS 1065, which targets younger listeners, claimed top spot with a market share of 15.5 percent in the competitive Sydney breakfast time slot.
It beat out 2GB’s Ben Fordham, who came in at 13.3 percent, dropping 0.2 percent in the latest GFK survey.
The result comes a year after former high-profile host Alan Jones announced his retirement in May 2020. When Fordham took over, the show held a market-leading rating of 17.9 percent.
