According to GFK Radio Ratings, Kyle and Jackie O have once again achieved Sydney’s No. 1 breakfast show in AM and FM for their 42nd consecutive survey, just over a week ahead of their expansion into the Melbourne territory.
But they have stiff competition ahead as 101.9 The Fox’s Fifi Box, Brendan Fevola and Nick Cody have secured their own crown as Melbourne’s most listened to FM breakfast show for the 11th year in a row.
