Commercial Radio & Audio (CRA) has welcomed the GfK Survey 2, 2026 results, with commercial radio reaching a record 12.8 million listeners weekly. For nearly four years commercial radio has sustained audiences exceeding 12 million demonstrating its resilience and stability for brands.¹

Lizzie Young, CEO of CRA, said: “A record audience last survey, topped again this survey. When a medium delivers at this scale, this consistently, it tells you that Australians rely on local, live commercial radio – and brands can too.

“As Australia’s only 100% locally owned and operated media channel, every advertising dollar supports local journalism, emergency broadcasting and thousands of Australian jobs. That combination of resilient scale and trusted community connection is what makes commercial radio unique.”

The shift to an audio everywhere approach has transformed how audiences consume content anytime, anywhere – with listeners moving seamlessly between AM, FM, DAB+, and streaming. Investment in platforms like CRA Audio ID and RadioApp are delivering the precision, transparency and scale advertisers require.

Commercial radio’s reach, alongside it’s proven effectiveness, makes the case for brands compelling. For every dollar invested in radio, brands see two dollars back – second only to social, outperforming video, TV, OOH, search and CTV.²

In an economic climate where household budgets and businesses are under pressure, audio’s ability to strengthen and defend pricing at almost double the level of campaigns without audio, earns its place on every media plan.³

Commercial Radio & Audio (CRA), in partnership with Triton Digital, has released the March results for the Australian Podcast Ranker. The Ranker is the country’s only official, third-party verified podcast measurement system, governed by a cross-industry Steering Committee and backed by strong collaboration across commercial, independent, and non-commercial publishers. It sets the benchmark for podcast data in Australia.

Lizzie Young, CEO of CRA said: “Podcasting in Australia continues to grow in reach and commercial value, and the Ranker keeps the whole industry in step with that momentum. Verified, independent data – accessible to publishers, agencies and advertisers – means everyone can see where audiences are moving and act with confidence.”

With Ben Fordham Live (2GB) and Breakfast with Ross and Russ (3AW) dominating the brekky battle, Nine Radio has firmly cemented its grip on the two most competitive markets in Australian radio.

This surge is reflected nationwide, with total listeners up 5% on Survey 1 and 8% year-on-year. More Australians than ever are choosing to tune in – whether at home or on the go – for the very best in live and local content that defines the network.

It’s great recognition for our hardworking content teams and we thank our listeners for joining our conversation each day.”

POWERED BY TRITON DIGITAL’S PODCAST METRICS AND DEMOS+

Triton Digital’s Podcast Metrics measurement service is certified by the IAB Tech Lab as complying with Version 2.2 of the IAB Podcast Measurement Technical Guidelines.Demos+, produced in collaboration with Signal Hill Insights, is a combination of survey data from a representative yearly survey of 12,000 monthly U.S. adults aged 18+ who listen to podcasts and Podcast Metrics download data.

HISTORICAL PODCAST RANKINGS
Triton Digital has retired the monthly publication of the Australian Top Publishers and Top Sales Representation rankers. The last active reporting period was May 2025.

ABOUT THE AUSTRALIAN PODCAST RANKER

The Australian Podcast Ranker lists the Top 300 podcasts from participating publishers that are consumed by listeners located in Australia. The All-Australian Top 300 Podcast Ranker lists only the Top 300 podcasts commissioned by an Australian publisher, consumed by listeners located in Australia.

The Australian Podcast Ranker is based on a calendar month reporting period. The entities listed are ranked by Monthly Listeners in accordance with the latest IAB Podcast Technical Measurement Guidelines. If you wish to sort by downloads, you can click on the “Downloads” column to re-sort amongst the existing data.

For podcasts with multiple categories in the RSS feed, we display and filter by only the first category.

DEMOS+ TOP INDEXING PROGRAMS BY AUDIENCE COMPOSITION

• The Demos+ Top Indexing Programs by Audience Composition lists podcasts that have a high percentage of their audience that falls within a particular audience characteristic. There are 40 audience characteristics, each with its own list of 50 podcasts.
• Among podcasts that Triton measures, the top 300 ranker podcasts ranked by average monthly users for the 6-month time period are eligible to appear in these lists. For each audience characteristic, the top 50 podcasts out of the 300 listed are presented. These 50 podcasts have the highest percentage of their audience that falls within that audience characteristic, as measured by Triton Digital Podcast Metrics Demos+. Triton Digital Podcast Metrics Demos+ utilizes both datasets: the Podcast Metrics IAB-certified download data and the Demos+ survey data. As a result, only participating entities that opt in for measurement are included.

The Ranker is commissioned by Commercial Radio & Audio and includes the participation of the following publishers and sales representation: Acast, Adore Beauty, ARN/iHeartPodcast Network Australia, Audioboom, Australian Broadcasting Corporation, BBC, DM Podcasts, Guardian Media Group, Hidden Brain Media, HODD Media, Johns Media, Kinderling Kids Radio, LiSTNR (SCA), Motorsport Podcast Network, New York Times, News Corp Australia, Nine, Nova Entertainment, Podshape, Ranieri & Co, RSN Racing & Sport, Schwartz Media, Sports Entertainment Network (SEN), Squiz Media, The Australia Institute, The Bye Round, The Chaser, The Washington Post Podcast Network, TOFOP Productions, Wavelength Creative, We don’t have time for this, West Australian Newspapers, Wondery.

METRIC DEFINITIONS

• Listeners – A ‘listener’ is a single user who downloads content for either immediate or delayed consumption. Listeners are identified by a combination of IP address and user agent in accordance with the IAB filtering rules described in the IAB Podcast Measurement Technical Guidelines v2.2.
• Downloads – A ‘download’ is a unique file request that was downloaded. Downloads include complete file downloads, progressive downloads, as well as partial downloads in accordance with the IAB Podcast Measurement Technical Guidelines v2.2 filtering rules (i.e. spiders and bots, data centers, one-minute of content minimum download, etc.). This process filters multiple requests from the same IP address, user agent, episode and date.
• Publisher – An entity that represents a group of podcasts that it either commissions, produces itself or acts as the primary representative for that content in Australia.
• Rank
  •  “Debut” indicates that the show is new to the ranker, making its debut for the first time in the last 13 months.
  •  “Return” indicates that the show has returned to the Top 200 after having not appeared in the previous reporting period(s).
• Index (Monthly Podcast pop 18+) – Compares % of a podcast’s audience against the overall Australian monthly podcast listener population (age 18+). Eg: Index 125 “Genre X is 25% more likely than average monthly podcast listener to do purchase a new car.”

ARN has announced the appointment of Ollie Wards as Director – Video and Social, a newly created role that is central to the company’s transformation into a leading cross-platform entertainment business.

Reporting to ARN Chief Content Officer Kerri Elstub, Wards will define and lead ARN’s digital video and social content strategy, growing audience reach and engagement across platforms including TikTok, YouTube, Instagram and Facebook. With iHeart expanding into video in the coming months, he will scale and amplify ARN’s content across the iHeart platform, while also driving distribution across Spotify, Apple Podcasts and beyond. In this role, Wards will strengthen partnerships with major platforms, develop innovative content formats, and deliver new revenue streams, shaping the next phase of ARN’s entertainment offering.

With a career spanning some of Australia’s most influential media and cultural brands, Wards joins ARN from TikTok, where he served as Director of Music for Australia and New Zealand. There, he led the platform’s music strategy, driving music and cultural impact through the growth of active artists, trends and industry partnerships – including the launch of TikTok Trending in collaboration with iHeart, the world’s first TikTok radio station and now Australia’s number one station for under 30s. Prior to this, Wards spent a decade at triple j as Content Director. Earlier in his career, he worked in commercial radio production and branded integrations in the UK with Global, where he created a number of award-winning campaigns.

The appointment comes as ARN continues to expand its digital ecosystem through its global partnership with iHeart, the world’s largest audio platform, scaling video content production across its leading shows and podcasts. New iHeart features such as iHeart Highlights – delivering short-form vertical video within the app – will complement the roll out of full-length video podcast distribution and upcoming video ad insertion, creating new opportunities for ARN content to be discovered, shared, and monetised. With access to iHeart’s global product and engineering teams, Wards will help accelerate ARN’s video and social content strategy, while unlocking new commercial opportunities.

Kerri Elstub, ARN Chief Content Officer, said: “Ollie is one of the most respected digital and content leaders in the country, with a sharp instinct for what audiences connect with and how culture moves across platforms. As we continue to evolve into a true entertainment company, video will play an increasingly important role in how our content is created, experienced and shared. Ollie will be instrumental in scaling that capability, amplifying the content we create every day in new and innovative ways, while also unlocking original formats and revenue opportunities beyond broadcast.”

Ollie Wards said: “You’re reading this, but next time it’ll be an awesome video in your feed! I’m excited to be driving video and social for iHeart and some of Australia’s most loved personalities and brands, plus building some new ones. We’ll be evolving how ARN makes great content for wherever audiences discover it. You’ll see!”

Wards has officially commenced with ARN and is based in Sydney.

NOVA Entertainment is set to welcome one of Australia’s most popular female‑led podcasts, Two Broke Chicks, to the Nova Podcasts network. The partnership marks a strategic expansion of Nova’s lifestyle content, tapping into a highly engaged audience of young women seeking practical guidance and relatable storytelling.

Created and hosted by journalists and best friends Sally McMullen and Alexandra Hourigan, Two Broke Chicks has become a weekly go-to for young women seeking honest, practical advice. The show blends humour, lived experience and real-world guidance across careers, money, identity and relationships.

Said Sally, “This show has grown alongside our community, and it means so much that people trust us with their stories and their time. Joining Nova Podcasts gives us space to evolve while keeping the heart of Two Broke Chicks exactly where it belongs, with the people who listen.”

Alexandra added, “We have always wanted the podcast to feel like a safe, funny, honest corner of the internet. Partnering with Nova allows us to keep building that feeling and reach more people who might need a pep talk, a financial hack or just a laugh.”

Sally and Alexandra have cultivated a strong digital presence, reaching over 1.1 million social followers across Instagram, Facebook and TikTok. Across this broad social community, including the Broke Chicks Club Facebook group, the team share budgeting tips, lifestyle content and insights into emerging social trends.

Two Broke Chicks resonates strongly with young women navigating rising living costs, digital overload and comparison culture, and offers relatable conversations around ambition, self-worth and financial stress, themes that continue to shape national sentiment

Network Director of Nova Podcasts, Rachel Corbett, said, “Sal and Al haven’t just built a popular podcast, they’ve built an unbelievable business. Growing an independent show to the size they have is no small feat. They understand their audience, they understand brand building and they know how to create real value for commercial partners. That combination is rare and it’s why we’re so excited to work with them and help them build on the success they’ve already created.”

Two Broke Chicks will be available on the Nova Player from March 16 or is available now wherever listeners get their podcasts.

The Easter long weekend is a good opportunity to relax and spend time with friends or family, but there are still dedicated staff and volunteers in community broadcasting who give their time to inform and entertain their listeners.

We’ve heard from several about what they got up to, and here are sharing just some of the stories and pictures we’ve seen from the long weekend.

If your station aired live broadcasts over the long weekend – whether they were from the studio, outside broadcasts or other locations – and you’d like to be featured in this article please email us at comms@cbaa.org.au. Photos are welcome – if not from the weekend just a shot of a presenter in studio is enough!

Whether or not you celebrate Easter, we hope you had a safe and happy long weekend.

NOVA Entertainment today announced that brand new national show The Joel Creasey Show will launch on Monday, April 20 at 1.00pm.

Airing weekdays from 1.00pm-2.00pm AEST across the Nova Network, the one-hour lunchtime show ushers in an exciting new chapter for one of Australia’s most loved comedians and Nova presenters, Joel Creasey.

Broadcasting from The Joel Creasey Show’s brand new Nova studio, Joel will bring his signature sharp humour, high energy and infectious personality to a fresh lunchtime audience, delivering an irreverent, personality‑driven hour designed for appointment listening.

Each show will feature Joel’s trademark brand of the unexpected with a focus on conversation and comedy, and will include regular segments, celebrity guests and even the occasional appearance from Joel’s beloved mum, Jenny.

Said Joel “Having treaded the boards in the Australian spotlight for 20 years now (I started when I was 3), I have stories, anecdotes and famous friends that will tickle you pink.

“We have truly broken the mould wide open with how the show is going to look and feel. When I say there’s been some construction happening over at Nova HQ…I mean high-vis and hard hats. It looks like Perth airport before the Kalgoorlie flight.

“I cannot wait to add some razzle-dazzle to your lunchtime. Think of it this way: the plane has taken off and I’m the captain now! And I’ll be landing us in a new, exotic location each day on the cryptically titled The Joel Creasey Show. Please fasten your seatbelts!”

Nova Network’s Group Programming Director, Brendan Taylor added, “Joel is such a skilled broadcaster and comedian and this lunchtime show is a fantastic opportunity to showcase his enormous talents in a fresh new timeslot. Following the success of The Chrissie Swan Show, launching The Joel Creasey Show reinforces Nova’s commitment to creating high quality appointment listening in the workday. We’re really excited to welcome Joel to our weekday lineup.”

Joel Creasey is one of Australia’s most popular and in-demand comedians and presenters. He has sold out comedy tours spanning Australia, Asia, the UK and the United States and has hosted and appeared on numerous Australian television programs throughout his career. Joel joined Nova Network’s national Drive show in 2020, where he quickly connected to a new audience at Nova and was instrumental in the Ricki-Lee, Tim & Joel show becoming the country’s number one Drive show.

The Joel Creasey Show joins Nova Network’s stellar weekday lineup, following Nova’s flagship local breakfast shows and leading into Nova Network’s national network shows The Chrissie Swan Show from 2.00pm-4.00pm and Fitzy, Wippa & Kate from 4.00pm- 6.00pm.

The Joel Creasey Show can be heard weekdays from Monday, April 20 nationally across the Nova Network from 1.00pm-2.00pm.

Listeners can also stream the shows live or catch up with the daily podcast on the Nova Player.
