2GB win as always with an increased margin over 2Day. Nova dropped again and are down 3.2 points on the same time last year. Vega's down and tied with Radio National for 2nd last.

Alan Jones wins breakfast, nearly 7 points clear of Adam Spencer on ABC, but he's up 1.5 points to take 2nd from Kyle & Jackie O. Merrick & Rosso down another point to 5th, below Mike Carlton and Peter Fitzsimmons.

MMM's up in drive but neighbours 2Day hang on by the barest of margins, Nova 3rd.

In the 3-way talk battle, 2GB wins everything except drive where ABC win by half a point from 2GB and 0.6 from Steve Price. 2UE's 2nd in mornings and afternoons, ABC and 2GB beat them in the rest.

Melbourne (http://www.nielsenmedia.com.au/files/melbourne406.pdf)
The usual easy win to 3AW, they're up 0.3 and Magic down 0.3 after the frequency switch. Fox are more than 5 points behind, and ABC just behind that. MMM down 1.4 to tie with Nova for 4th. Didn't think it was possible but Vega went down, the good news is Newsradio also dropped so they share last spot. SEN up 0.2 to jump ahead of JJJ and ABC Classic - 10th of 15.

No change in breakfast with AW still winning easily, in drive Fox have drawn level with Hinch and Sports Today, while Ernie Sigley's won afternoons for the first time in a while, MMM down 4 points in that slot.

Weekends are all 3AW in the first all-footy survey of the year, ABC 5 points back and MMM 3 behind that. AW up a point on last year, ABC down half a point and MMM down 2.

Brisbane (http://www.nielsenmedia.com.au/files/brisbane406.pdf)
Nova makes it 2 in a row, as MMM drop again, 97.3 cracks the 10 barrier for 3rd. B105 continues to let the network down with a 7th placed 7.3, beaten by all the other major networks

Nova wins breakfast for I think the first time, along with every other session. MMM is second in everything except evenings where 97.3 and ABC both finished ahead

4BC v ABC: ABC narrowly wins breakfast, 4BC easily wins mornings and narrowly afternoons, ABC wins drive and evenings easily, as well as weekends

Adelaide (http://www.nielsenmedia.com.au/files/adelaide406.pdf)
5AA up 3 points to go from 3rd to 1st, Mix only dropped half a point but with SAFM up 1.2 they tied for second, Nova 4th, ABC 5th, Cruise up to 7.0 in 7th and closed the gap on MMM from 4 to 1.6.

Mix also up but another big win to 5AA in breakfast, SAFM 3rd then ABC, Nova and MMM

The main reason 5AA's number 1 again - KG & Cornesy back up above 20 and they win the slot for the first time this year by 5.5 points over SAFM.

Extra footy on the weekend hasn't helped MMM - weekends are down 1.0 on the same survey last year, while they're down 1.1 overall.

5AA beat ABC in all slots.

Perth (http://www.nielsenmedia.com.au/files/perth406.pdf)
Margin's down but Mix still win comfortably, Nova take 2nd spot from 96FM, and ABC take 4th from 6PR

Mix also down in breakfast but still win by half a point from ABC, Nova's turned a 0.1 point loss to 3rd placed 6PR in the last survey to a win by the same margin in this one

Mix beaten by 0.1 in afternoons by 96FM, 0.2 in drive by Nova, and 2.1 in evenings by Nova with 6PR pushing them back to 3rd.

In the battle of the talk stations, ABC win breakfast and drive with 6PR winning the other weekday slots and weekends

Comprehensive as always Russian. The obvious change for 3AW and 693 obviously has not hurt them at all (nor Rex's private life)

Why haven't AW changed the sign out the front of the radio station ?
I saw 'Ted the toff' being interviewed outside AW on the news on sunday and the sign behind him had 3AW1278 and MAGIC693.

Good to see SEN increase its share, and even better to see that the lowest rating of its regular weekday shows is their dismal breakfast show.

The sooner they overhaul that the better it will be for the entire station.
