Breakfast trio suffer huge drop in latest radio figures
Nova FM and 96FM both recorded drops in their audience share of more than two percentage points, in the latest radio ratings out on Tuesday.
The biggest change from the latest GFK ratings report — covering the period from April to July — was Nova's breakfast trio Nathan Morris, Nat Locke and Shaun McManus' four per cent drop in audience to 15.5 per cent.
The FM station recorded drops across all its daytime programming, as did 96FM, which still held its rank as Perth's most listened to radio station.
Nova however lost its spot in second, dethroned by Mix 94.5, which rose to an audience share of 12.8 per cent. Shaun McManus, Tony Galati, Nat Locke and Ross Wallman at Nova's Tony Galati on May 29, 2025. Credit: Matt Jelonek / The West Australian
Morris revealed near the beginning of this ratings cycle the reasons for a protracted absence from the airwaves in May after three month off, explaining he had been dealing with some 'legal issues'.
'Something happened in my personal life that was one of these monumental things that happens that you can't really process,' he said.
'Something comes in that's so different no one has gone through it, no one can give you advice.
'It started back last year and reared again this year. I can't speak too much about it because there is legal proceedings that's got nothing to do with me but I cannot speak about it because of that.'

Over on the AM band, ABC radio remained steady, with small drops in audience share after growing most of this year.
Breakfast host Mark Gibson dropped 0.2 per cent, while Afternoons' Jo Trilling saw her audience fall to 3.6 per cent, the lowest point so far this year.
6PR defector and new ABC Drive host Gary Adshead grew his share by 0.3 per cent, consolidating his late afternoon time slot.
While 6PR's breakfast duo of Steve Mills and Karl Langdon were hit by a near 1 percentage point fall in their share to 8.3 per cent, Mornings host Simon Beaumont recorded a rise of 1.6 per cent to 8.3 per cent

INXS win Hottest Aussie 100 with Never Tear Us Apart
Aussie power ballad Never Tear Us Apart by 1980s rock royalty INXS has taken out the title of number one song on Triple J's special edition Hottest 100 countdown dedicated to Australian artists. Audiences have been voting for months to reveal Australia's favourite song in the annual countdown that showcases some of the nation's best homegrown music talent. Celebrating on behalf of the band, founding member and drummer Jon Farriss joined the radio station on Saturday night to reflect on the win. "We feel so blessed and we're very grateful," Farriss said. Australian hip hop royalty The Hilltop Hoods came in at number two with their 2003 hit The Nosebleed Section. Queensland pop duo The Veronicas and their 2007 hit Untouched, Missy Higgins' breakout 2004 single Scar and Don't Dream It's Over by Crowded House rounded out the top five. Reflecting on their number three spot, Jess and Lisa Origliasso said for "just two girls from Brisbane", the countdown had brought them to tears. "We're on top of the world right now ... this is such a huge honour for us," Jess Origliasso said. Higgins also joined the radio station, telling presenters she couldn't believe Scar still resonated with Australian audiences more than 20 years since its debut. "I can't quite believe it - I feel like the luckiest person ever," she said moments after the song was played. The countdown is typically comprised of the best songs of the year from all over the world but the youth station hosted a special mid-year poll dedicated to Aussie artists and tracks to celebrate its 50th anniversary. Belgian-born Australian singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Gotye squeezed in to cinch the number 10 spot with his 2011 hit Somebody That I Used To Know. Other notable mentions included Australian music great John Farnham, voted in at number 15 with his 1986 hit You're the Voice. Daryl Braithwaite's The Horses came in at number 30, with Natalie Imbruglia's Torn voted in at 32. More than 2.65 million votes were tallied for the countdown, the station's fourth-largest poll, according to the broadcaster. Eight tracks in the countdown were separated by fewer than 10 votes and only 30 votes separated songs 100 and 101.

Culture takes centre stage in this 'incredible' musical
Gamilaraay performer Googoorewon Knox has music in his blood. His grandfather Roger Knox is a country music legend and on the other side of his family, his grandmother Auriel Andrew was also a respected performer. Knox made his debut in musical theatre as George Washington in the Australian return season of Hamilton in 2024. While on a slightly different path to the one set out in his family roots, it's not that much of a stretch for him. "It makes sense being a singer, being in a musical family and enjoying being an entertainer at the same time," he tells AAP. "The fact that it's happened isn't a huge surprise." Knox is returning to the stage in August to play Agwe, the god of water in the award-winning musical Once on This Island. The contemporary re-imagining of the classic Hans Christian Andersen tale The Little Mermaid and the book My Love, My Love by Rosa Guy follows the story of Ti Moune, who risks everything to save a boy from the other side of the island where she lives. Beginning on Australia's own shores, the show blends Caribbean origins with the rich cultural history found closer to home. Knox says it's a freeing experience to bring himself and his heritage to the stage. "That's who I am," he said. "Hamilton was a historical piece; all the characters are real people, they're played by Black people but they weren't Black people," he said. "To be able to play Black characters as a Black person is very freeing." The show is directed by Gumbaynggirr and Turkish writer Brittanie Shipway, who says it is a celebration of storytelling, music and the rich tapestry of culture. "What better way to honour the spirit of our island home than through the voices of 12 extraordinary performers, each bringing the depth and beauty of their own cultural heritage." Ti Moune is "a dreamer, a healer and a trailblazer on a journey of love, sacrifice and self-discovery", she adds. To Knox, the story is a "representation of us" filled with the music and dances of culture, which he's looking forward to sharing with audiences. "It's going to be incredible," he said. "There's a section in the middle that's going to be mind blowing. I don't care who you are, you're going to go crazy for it." Once on This Island plays at the Hayes Theatre in association with Curveball Creative, from August 2 to 31. Gamilaraay performer Googoorewon Knox has music in his blood.

'Sabotage': Rebel Wilson sued by production company
Rebel Wilson is being sued by the production company behind her directorial debut. UK-based AI Film has filed the lawsuit in Australia, accusing the 44-year-old actress of deliberately sabotaging the film's release in order to devalue the movie and pressure AI Film and Australian company Dunburn Debutantes Commissioning Company - named as the second plaintiff in the lawsuit - into selling their stake to her company Camp Sugar. According to The Guardian, AI Film said in a statement: "These proceedings are regrettable but essential to ensure The Deb's timely release. It's a joyous, fun film, and we are sure that audiences are going to love it." Lead actress Charlotte MacInnes said: "I love this film and I can't wait for it to be released … it would be wonderful if these proceedings can help make that happen." Wilson responded to the lawsuit with a message on Instagram Stories saying: "Apparently I'm being sued in Australia. It makes no sense. As the director, producer and co-star who nurtured a project called THE DEB for 5 years from a 3 page idea into a gorgeous feature film - I want nothing more than to have this film released and have been working tirelessly behind the scenes to get this to happen. To say otherwise is complete nonsense. I'm so proud of the film! "In my opinion this is continued bullying and harassment from UK financiers of the project Amanda Ghost, Gregor Cameron and Vince Holden after I exposed their dodgy behaviour. They tried to prevent the film from premiering there (they lost) and now they've tried to stop the film being released because of a baseless US lawsuit and now a further Australian one. "I've moved on, now directing my 2nd movie and loving it. But regarding THE DEB all I can literally say is 'F*** my life" with tears in my eyes and a heavy heart. Everyone who worked on the movie and who knows me KNOWS I put my blood, sweat and tears into this. Everyone knows I'm a 'truth teller' when it comes to vile people in the industry. I just want this movie to come out and for all the amazingly talented contributors to be recognised for their sensational work! (sic)."
