Sydney\u2019s 2GB<\/strong> <\/em>has begun 2026 by securing its position as having the undisputed No.1 breakfast show in the city, with the station also seeing big audience increases across the day. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The commanding performance was led by Ben Fordham Live<\/em><\/strong>, which posted a decisive victory, reaching a 16.6 share (up 1.7)<\/strong> to claim its place as Sydney\u2019s most listened-to Breakfast program. The winning momentum carried through most dayparts, which was evidenced by Mornings with Mark Levy<\/em><\/strong>, which increased its share to 14.1 (up 1.1 on last survey) and saw cumulative audience increase by 88,000 listeners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2GB <\/em>has also cemented its status as the outright No.1 in live audio streaming<\/strong>, with its unmatched ability to connect with audiences across all platforms.

2GB Station Manager, Greg Byrnes<\/strong> said: \u201cThis is a magnificent start to the year for 2GB, with significant audience growth across every key shift. Ben Fordham\u2019s stunning result in Breakfast proves he\u2019s essential listening for every Sydneysider.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe result is well-deserved recognition for all of our on-air and production teams. We look forward to building on this momentum as we celebrate two major milestones this year: the 40th anniversary of the legendary Continuous Call Team and 2GB\u2019s momentous 100th anniversary.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
