3AW has once again claimed the crown as Melbourne’s No. 1 radio station, continuing its reign as the city’s trusted source for live, local and engaging talk radio.

The GfK Radio 360 Survey 2 results, released today, show 3AW firmly ahead of the pack with an impressive audience share of 14.1 and a leading commercial streaming share of 28.4%.

Each week, 687,000 Melburnians tune in to 3AW, drawn to its compelling content across news, opinion, sport and conversation.

3AW remains No. 1 in key dayparts – Breakfast, Mornings, Evenings, Weekends and Football – with continued strong performances across all programs.
