Audioboom’s Casefile True Crime podcast has reclaimed the #1 spot as the most downloaded podcast in the country in February according to new data released by Triton Digital.
The previous month it was pipped by Stuff You Should Know, from ARN/iHeartMedia, which dropped down to second in February.
Nine’s podcast Please Explain from The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age was the highest new entry on the Top 100 Podcasts in Australia for the month of February coming in at #25.
Meanwhile, The Marty Sheargold Show on Triple M Melbourne from Southern Cross Austereo (SCA) was the most improved for the period, up 48 places to #45. However, it was not all good news for SCA, which saw its podcast The National Briefing drop 51 sports to #74.
97.3FM unveils new TVC campaign for Robin, Terry & Bob
February 16, 2021 2:26
Australian Radio Network has launched a new TVC campaign for its Brisbane breakfast show on 97.3FM – Robin, Terry and Bob.
The trio reunited at the start of 2020, with Robin Bailey returning to the station after a stint at Southern Cross Austereo’s Triple M Melbourne, to reunite with Terry Hansen and Bob Gallager.
But so far they’ve failed to propel 97.3FM back up the breakfast ratings as ARN might have hoped, with the show ending 2020 as the 7th-ranked breakfast show in Brisbane, with an 8.2% share.
Now, in partnership with ARN’s marketing and content teams, Sydney-based agency Emotive has developed a new TVC, which has been released as part of ARN’s marketing rollout with activity across TV, large format, street furniture, digital and print, BVOD and social in the coming weeks.
