Today marks an incredible 20 years of consecutive ratings wins for Australia’s most awarded, successful and versatile radio broadcaster, Ray Hadley – one of the longest winning streaks of all time.
Survey 4 of Radio360 ratings saw The Ray Hadley Morning Show record a 16.4 share, up 1.1 points – further demonstrating Hadley’s position as one of Australia’s most popular and respected broadcasters.
On his 20-year milestone, Ray Hadley said: “A lot has happened personally and professionally over the past 20 years. My now adult children were children themselves when this journey started and now they have provided me with 7 wonderful grandchildren – those little ones usurp any commercial success.
“A wise old broadcaster once told me: ‘Be yourself, get in before anyone else and work public holidays’. The formula seems to have worked.
“My thanks to my wife Sophie for her total loyalty, and love to John Singleton for having faith in me all those years ago.”
Managing Director of Nine Radio, Tom Malone said: “This is an extraordinary achievement. As far we know, no individual broadcaster has been number one for 20 years, without a blip. It’s the perfect scorecard! It all comes down to Ray’s work ethic and his commitment to his listeners.”
Hadley’s unbeaten streak started in Survey 4, 2004 and he remains the most decorated radio host in Australian Commercial Radio Award (ACRA) history, with a stunning 34 awards.
He was inducted into the ACRA Hall of Fame in 2017 and honoured with the special Country Music Capital Award for his passionate and sustained support and promotion of Australian country music at the 52nd Golden Guitar Awards.
After 19 successful years broadcasting at 2UE, Hadley joined 2GB in late 2001 and on 4th March 2002, The Ray Hadley Morning Show first went to air. Hadley is also the founding member of The Continuous Call Team (CCT).
Hadley’s passion for sport broadcasting has seen him cover 98 State of Origins, 34 Rugby League Grand Finals, three Rugby World Cups, and will this year be Nine Radio’s lead commentator for his seventh Olympic Games.
Nine’s talk stations have claimed triple gold in GfK Radio 360 Survey 4, with listeners declaring Sydney’s 2GB and Melbourne’s 3AW their No.1 station, and the stations’ Breakfast and Mornings programs sitting on top of the podium in commercial radio and streaming.
In Sydney, 2GB recorded a 14.0 share (up 0.7) and in Melbourne, 3AW recorded 13.7 – stamping Nine’s live and local programs as the definitive agenda setters for listeners every day.
In the Breakfast shift, 2GB’s Ben Fordham Live is No.1 in Sydney with a share of 17.0 (up 0.4) and 3AW’s Breakfast with Ross and Russ is No.1 in Melbourne with 19.6.
The Ray Hadley Morning Show is No.1 for the 158th time – marking Hadley’s incredible 20th year of consecutive survey wins in Mornings, with a 16.4 share (up 1.1). Mornings with Tom Elliott also remains No.1 with Melbourne listeners, recording a dominant 15.7 share.
Nine Radio’s Head of Content, Greg Byrnes, said: “These results show Australians have turned to talk in big numbers, and as the home of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, Nine’s talk stations have laid the foundations for another dominant year in 2024.
“The number one results in Sydney and Melbourne, along with the record cume result in Perth, highlight the strength of our always on, live and local content.
“Talk radio is relentless. what Ray Hadley has achieved today is truly remarkable and he’d be the first to thank his hundreds of thousands of listeners who tune in every day right around the country.”

AND ONBOARDS NEW PARTNER FOR AUDIO PERFORMANCE LEAD-GEN
NOVA Entertainment has announced the appointment of Josh Halling to the role of Group Commercial Director, responsible for the direct and independent agency channels.
Previously NOVA Entertainment’s Sydney Commercial Director, Halling was recently promoted to the new position and reports into NOVA’s Chief Commercial Officer, Nicole Bence.
In this new group commercial role, Halling will lead NOVA’s Sydney and Melbourne Direct and Independent Agency teams to drive and execute national strategic initiatives.
Said Bence on Halling’s appointment, “Josh’s promotion reflects NOVA’s continued commitment to investing in our all-of-audio sales team. His credentials are second to none and with over two decades of experience in commercial radio, I’m confident Josh will play a critical role in driving the outcomes necessary for us to lead the market.”
Halling brings twenty years of commercial radio expertise across multiple networks to the role, including 12 years with NOVA Entertainment where he has held multiple senior roles across the Commercial team.
With NOVA Entertainment’s focus on audio as a performance and outcomes-driven medium, Halling’s new remit includes driving the significant opportunity amongst Small to Medium Enterprises (SME’s) for whom fast and measurable business outcomes are the cornerstone of their marketing strategy and investment.
To further build their credentials in this space, NOVA Entertainment has signed a three-year partnership with Boost Media International to maximise their exposure to the significant number of advertisers not currently taking advantage of audio as a performance marketing channel.
This three-year deal with Boost is an Australian audio exclusive partnership and marks a significant step in NOVA’s ongoing commitment to being their clients’ performance partner in audio.
Said Halling of the new partnership with Boost Media International, “Clients no longer buy airtime or commercials, they buy outcomes. We’re excited to work with Boost, who understand the importance of results for advertisers, and the potential of audio in delivering those results.”
NOVA Entertainment has announced chart topping, platinum artist Teddy Swims as the next artist to perform live in Nova’s Red Room. The intimate show will take place at Northcote Theatre in Melbourne on Sunday July 14.
The one-off live set will be the third Nova’s Red Room event in Melbourne for the year, with the American singer-songwriter set to capture the hearts of an intimate crowd of just 500 invitees with an exclusive acoustic set list, before heading to Margaret Court Arena for his sold out ‘I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy Tour’.
Addressing the announcement and the upcoming performance, Teddy Swims said “I’m so excited to return to Australia in July! We are preparing something really special for this intimate show in Melbourne! Can’t wait to see you, I love you!”
Jase Hawkins and Lauren Phillps, co-hosts of the Nova 100 breakfast show Jase & Lauren will host the exclusive event alongside newsreader and cohost Clint Stanaway.
Swims (born Jaten Dimsdale) found himself on the path towards self-discovery when he started putting pen to paper for his debut studio album, I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 1), via Warner Records. Though he’s released music and toured the world since making his debut in 2019, the 31-year-old artist has spent much of the last four years writing his way towards his debut album that would tell this story – his story – to the people who were ready to receive it.
Brendan Taylor, Group Programming Director for the Nova Network, said “Teddy Swims absolutely amazed us with his powerhouse vocals in 2023 for a Nova’s Red Room studio session, so to bring this to a live audience will be truly incredible.
“For Teddy to go from a 500 person invite-only set to a sold-out Margaret Court Arena show, shows the intimacy and exclusivity of these events.”
Swims’ breakout Platinum hit ‘Lose Control’ became his first #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, with one of the longest climbs to the top in Hot 100 history. The track has garnered nearly 1 billion global streams, reached #4 on the Billboard Global 200 chart, and #1 on the US and Global Shazam charts. Additionally, ‘Lose Control’ has taken flight across the globe, reaching 2 x Platinum status in four countries thus far. With over 2.6 billion career streams to date, a sold-out global headline tour underway, new music in the works, and this appearance on the Nova’s Red Room stage, Swims is already on track for a record 2024.

NOVA Entertainment has today announced folk-rock singer-songwriter Michael Marcagi as the next artist to perform live in Nova’s Red Room. The highly anticipated performance will be held at Lulie Tavern in Melbourne on Tuesday, July 16.
The exclusive set will be Marcagi’s debut on the Nova’s Red Room stage and the fourth Nova’s Red Room event in Melbourne for the year. 200 lucky fans will be treated to the money-can’t-buy private show where the American artist is set to perform his well-known hits ‘The Other Side’and ‘Scared to Start’.
Ahead of the performance, Michael Marcagi said “I’m really looking forward to my first Australian tour this month and to be playing a stripped back show in Melbourne for Nova winners.”
Mel Tracina, host of Nova 100’s workday from 9am to 2pm, and cultural correspondent on Channel 10’s The Cheap Seats, will host the exclusive event in Melbourne’s inner-city.
Marcagi emerged onto the music scene with his debut tracks chalking up millions of TikTok views. In a few short weeks he had built a legion of eager fans and secured a record deal despite having just two songs to his name. His debut EP American Romance, released through Warner Records, expands on that promise, highlighting the timeless sound and engaging sense of emotional truth that has made Marcagi’s music so immediately compelling.
Brendan Taylor, Group Programming Director for the Nova Network, said, “Nova’s Red Room has seen an incredible slate of artists grace its stage so far this year, and we’re incredibly excited to welcome Michael Marcagi for his debut with us.”
“If the growth of Michael’s career in the past year is any indication, the lucky fans who score an invite to this latest Nova’s Red Room will remember this performance for years to come.”

The judges praised her sensitive handling of a difficult topic: “The reporter’s ability to establish a deep and trusting connection with her subject was evident. This was an incredibly powerful, incisive and – above all – important piece of journalism.”
Angus Randall won the Best Radio/Audio News Reporting Award for “National eyes on SA as it passes Voice legislation”, described as “a sensitive and careful examination of the prospect of legislation for the people it would affect most.”
In the Visual Storytelling category, Che Chorley won for his “masterful images [that] brought his subjects to life and conveyed a strong sense of place in two stories about outback South Australia. This is a feature photographer at the top of his game.”
Nicholas Maher’s ‘explainers’ on international crises in countries such as Myanmar and Sudan took home the prize for Multimedia News or Feature. “In a world of growing complexity and shortening attention spans, Nicholas Maher’s ability to explain difficult issues in engaging, bitesize chunks on multiple platforms makes him a deserved winner in this category.”
Awarded Best Rural/Regional Journalist, Sophie Landau’s collection of reports ‘Connection, care, compassion’ were praised asoriginal and well-researched demonstrations of the importance of building strong connections within the community. “Her report about Theo Nickolas Papageorgiou and the impact of his suicide on family, the local region and state mental health laws is particularly notable.”
