Greg Byrnes, Nine Radio’s Head of Content, said: “At a time when radio has never been more competitive, our audiences are getting bigger. These are stunning results in Melbourne, right across the week and into the weekend. In Sydney, Ray has extended his record of number ones even further, and around the country our refreshed lineups are building new audiences. It’ll be a big year and we’re up to the challenge.”
