Devastating ratings blow that could forever change Brisbane radio
KIIS FM's Brisbane breakfast team of Robin Bailey, Kip Wightman and former Broncos star Corey Oates have suffered a devastating blow in the latest radio ratings. The figures, released on Tuesday, show the trio in fourth place in the prized morning slot with a 10.6 per cent share of the audience. It's a terrible result for the KIIS FM breakfast crew, which has seen a 1.4-point drop since April's GfK survey. The poor performance has sparked speculation that the team could be facing the axe, and see the Sydney-based Kyle & Jackie O Show filling the slot. Industry sources say that management at KIIS FM is pressuring Robin, Kip and Corey to find a way to boost their audience before the end of the financial year, as reported by The Courier Mail on Wednesday. The poor ratings don't reflect well in the station's new lineup, launched in January, which saw Corey, 30, join Bailey and Wightman after he featured in the popular 'Find Corey a Job' segment last year. Meanwhile, Nova 106.9's Ash, Luttsy & Nikki Osborne triumphed in Brisbane's 'breakfast wars', landing the top spot for the second time running in 2025 with 13.1 per cent of the audience. Not far behind them in second position in this survey, with a 13 per cent share, are Stav, Abby & Matt on the Hit Network's B105 Brisbane. Finishing third were Marto, Margaux & Dan from Triple M's 104.5 with an 11.7 per cent share. In other results, Triple M topped the chart as the most popular station in Brisbane with 12.8 per cent of the available audience, with Nova trailing on 11.3 and B015 in third place with a 12.8 market share. KIIS FM was the fourth most popular station in the survey with 10.3 per cent of the audience. It comes after the station experienced a decline in the Sydney ratings, as management at KIIS FM has spent several months attempting to improve The Kyle & Jackie O Show's standing in Melbourne. The home of shock jocks Kyle Sandilands and Jackie 'O' Henderson dropped 0.2 per cent of the market share. However, KIIS FM still finished third in Sydney with a 9.3 overall, with 2GB sitting at 13.6 (up by 0.8) and Smooth sitting at 12.4 (up by 0.6). And the wildly popular Kyle & Jackie O Show was again number one in FM breakfast in Sydney, with a market share of 12.5 (up by 0.2). Though their performance in Melbourne has slightly dipped again and they dropped 0.7 to a 5.1 market share following the gains they made last survey. Sydney juggernauts Kyle Sandilands and Jackie 'O' Henderson have been embroiled in the battle since their multimillion-dollar expansion into the city saw ex KIIS FM stars Jason 'Jase' Hawkins and Lauren Phillips be axed. On April 29, 2024 Sandilands and Henderson took The Kyle & Jackie O Show to Melbourne in a huge multimillion-dollar expansion deal. The move triggered the axing of Hawkins and Phillips own KIIS FM breakfast show. Sandilands and Henderson have since struggled to capture the Melbourne market. In November, Sandilands vowed to reduce the graphic sexual content on his KIIS FM radio show this year to appeal to the Melbourne audience more broadly. Brisbane listeners, meanwhile, have only embraced the pain tentatively with their syndicated drive-time slot, 'Hour of Power' finishing this survey with an 11 per cent share of the audience. The result puts them behind the Nova, B105 and Triple M in the same slot.

Triple M radio suffers brutal fail in latest ratings survey - as one show continues to bleed listeners
Triple M suffered a brutal blow in the third radio ratings survey of 2025. Beau Ryan, Aaron 'Woodsy' Woods and Cat Lynch can't seem to keep their listeners engaged this year, as their Sydney breakfast show continues to lose listeners. The trio, who lost 1.5 per cent of the market share in survey two, dropped another 1.5 in the latest survey, bringing them down to a 4.4 market share from a previous 5.9. It was one of many hits Triple M took this week, as the station suffered a decline across all Sydney timeslots. Meanwhile, sister station 2DAY gained 0.5 per cent of the breakfast market share, leaving new hosts Jimmy Smith, Emma Chow and Nath Roye chuffed. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The station finished at 4.5 overall - up by 0.2 - as it gains ground on Triple M's overall 4.9 market share. Elsewhere, KIIS FM took a short slide in the Sydney ratings as the station has spent several months trying to improve The Kyle & Jackie O Show's standing in Melbourne. The home of shock jocks Kyle Sandilands and Jackie 'O' Henderson dropped 0.2 per cent of the market share after shedding another 0.4 in the last survey. However, KIIS FM still finished third in Sydney with a 9.3 overall, not a feat to balk at, with 2GB sitting at 13.6 (up by 0.8) and Smooth sitting at 12.4 (up by 0.6). And the wildly popular Kyle & Jackie O Show was again number one in FM breakfast in Sydney with a market share of 12.5 (up by 0.2). Though their performance in Melbourne has swindled yet again as they dropped by 0.7 to a 5.1 market share, following the artificial gains they made last survey. Meanwhile, ABC Sydney as continued to slide with all four of its programs throughout the day losing listeners, dropping the station to a 6.2 share. Craig Reucassel also slipped at breakfast to 8.2, Hamish Macdonald in mornings dropped to 5.5, James Valentine in afternoons down to 4.7, and Chris Bath now at 5.3. Elsewhere, KIIS FM took a short slide in the Sydney ratings as the station has spent several months trying to improve The Kyle & Jackie O Show's standing in Melbourne Evenings host Renee Krosch was the only star who saw an increase in market share, lifting by 2.4 to 8.4. 2GB took full advantage of ABC's Sydney losses, with breakfast host Ben Fordham shooting up 1.1 to 16.7. Mornings host Mark Levy held onto his 15.5 share, afternoon host Malcolm McLaren lifted to 10.6, and Clinton Maynard finished on 8.6 (up by 0.4). Nevertheless, ABC shot up in Melbourne after the station had a fire lit under them following a record-low result last survey. With an overall 6.2 share (up by 1.9), breakfast duo Bob Murphy and Sharnelle Vella gained an impressive 2.0 per cent. It lifted the pair to a 7.6 per cent share, toppling The Kyle & Jackie O Show in the breakfast slot by 2.5.
