This survey period covers the best part of three months of high-impact news, sport and entertainment, and Sydneysiders have overwhelmingly chosen to share the highs and lows with 2GB and their favourite broadcasters. Ben Fordham is the clear Number 1 in Breakfast, Ray Hadley has extended his incredible dominance in Mornings, and the Continuous Call Team is our city’s premier Rugby League and entertainment coverage.
“This survey we’ve seen a 36.1% increase in our streaming figures, which shows that more and more people are choosing to listen via our new and improved 2GB app. We’re here for our city – 24/7 – and we are enormously grateful that Sydney has yet again declared 2GB its Number 1 radio station.”
