3AW is once again Melbourne’s undisputed No.1 radio station, with GfK Survey 1 marking the station’s 68th consecutive survey win. The station recorded a share of 16.6 commanding its highest cumulative audience on record for a Survey 1, remaining No.1 across Breakfast, Mornings, Drive, Evening and Weekends.
The ACRA award-winning Breakfast duo, Ross Stevenson and Russel Howcroft again dominated breakfast posting a share of 23.7, more than double their nearest breakfast rival. The double ACRA award-winning Neil Mitchell continues to command Mornings with a share of 18.2 up 0.7 points, while Tom Elliott in Drive grew 2.5 points to post a share of 14.8 to become Melbourne’s No.1 Drive.
Stephen Beers, 3AW Station Manager, said: “It’s a great start to 2023 for 3AW. We dominated from breakfast to the evenings and 3AW has once again proved why we are the station Melbournians tune into. It’s an outstanding survey for Ross Stevenson and Russel Howcroft who are a clear number 1 and more than double the nearest competitor.
“With Neil Mitchell’s incredible run of commanding Mornings and Tom Elliott in Drive both a clear number 1, our line-up is also dominating Nights, Weekends, Overnights while Wide World Of Sports with Sam McClure a narrow second. Thanks to all the teams who worked over summer to keep 3AW the favourite destination for radio in Melbourne.”
Further highlights of Survey 1 in Melbourne are:
Dee Dee Dunleavy is Melbourne’s No.1 Afternoon talk program, with a share of 10.8 (Mon-Fri 12.00pm–3.00pm).
Denis Walter grew his share by 6.8 points to 22.1 and remains Melbourne’s No.1 Evening program (Mon- Thurs 8.00pm–12.00am; Friday 7.00pm-12.00am).
3AW Weekends is Melbourne’s No.1 with a share of 15.0 (up 2.0).
Nine’s radio stations have posted the highest cumulative audience for a Survey 1 on record – with 1.961 million tuning in nationally – and taken out the number one spot in Melbourne, and number one talk station across Sydney, Brisbane and Perth.
Melbourne’s 3AW remains on top, recording its 68th consecutive win with a share of 16.6 and the highest cumulative audience for a Survey 1 on record. Breakfast duo Ross & Russ posted a winning share of 22.7, and Neil Mitchell grew his share and continued to dominate Mornings with a share of 18.2 – up 0.7.
Sydney’s 2GB is the number 1 talk radio station, increasing its cumulative audience in the key 25-39 demo by a staggering 47%.
Ben Fordham Live is the number one talk show in Breakfast in Sydney, with a share of 14.0, and Ray Hadley delivered an incredible 147th consecutive survey victory in Mornings with a 14.0 share.
Brisbane’s 4BC has also recorded its best Survey 1 cume on record and taken out the number one position in talk, with a 6.9 share.
And Perth’s 6PR rounds out the number one talk position across the country, holding the top spot across Breakfast, Mornings, Afternoons and Drive.
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.”
Here we go again! It’s Manly and Parra, a bitter club rivalry on Friday night and the Bulldogs back home at Belmore – making for a magnificent NRL Multicultural Round on Channel 9 and 9Now from Thursday at 7.30pm.
PLUS MANLY SEA EAGLES V PARRAMATTA EELS TONIGHT OVER 140 GAMES AVAILABLE FOR FREE IN 2023 THE BEST COMMENTARY AND THE BIGGEST GAMES ARE ON CHANNEL 9HD AND 9NOW
The biggest rivalry in the game fires up Friday Night Footy when the Roosters and Rabbitohs write another chapter in their never-ending book of feuds.
If their last outing is anything to go by, seven sin bins in a brutal and spiteful 2022 finals encounter, the fireworks will light up Allianz Stadium when these two teams collide.
Latrell Mitchell and his Rabbitohs will be wary of a Roosters bounce-back led by James Tedesco and returning firebrands Victor Radley and Jared Waerea-Hargreaves, after winning only one of their past six games against their most hated crosstown rivals.
Thursday Night Footy begins NRL Round 3 with a rivalry born out of the 1970s, when the winless Eels travel to 4 Pines Park to take on the Sea Eagles.
Coming off a bye, the Sea Eagles will be turbocharged by Tom Trbojevic and Daly Cherry-Evans after a dominant win at home in Round 1. But they have to contend with an Eels side under heavy pressure to get two competition points.
Eels Origin forward Junior Paulo will be taking no prisoners up front, while halfback Mitchell Moses, who has never tasted victory at 4 Pines Park, needs a star performance to ignite Parramatta’s season.
Multicultural Round continues on Sunday Arvo Footy when the Bulldogs face the Tigers at Belmore Sports Ground in the heart of Sydney’s west.
Big-name Bulldogs signings Viliame Kikau and Reed Mahoney, plus the biggest boot in the game, Matt Burton, and the fast feet of the fox, Josh Addo-Carr, have put the bark back in the Dogs who will be out to please their loyal fans at their old home ground.
The disappointing Tigers have lacked cohesion and need playmakers Adam Douehi and Api Koroisau to bring their new style of attack to life. Interestingly, the Wests Tigers will be playing at Belmore for the first time, while the Bulldogs have only won one of their past nine games there.
Nine’s unrivalled NRL commentary team features rugby league Immortal Andrew Johns, premiership-winning captains Cameron Smith, Johnathan Thurston, Brad Fittler, Paul Gallen, Darren Lockyer, and multiple premiership winners Billy Slater, Sonny Bill Williams and Phil Gould AM, providing the best insight and analysis in the game.
Host James Bracey will have all the angles covered this week with Danika Mason and Emma Lawrence, while Mat Thompson and Peter Psaltis will call the action.

From the Emergency Department to the wards and operating theatres, RPA will showcase the amazing dedication of the doctors, nurses and specialists, as well as spotlighting the patients’ inspirational stories of courage and determination.

In a sign of changing new car buyer preferences, and for the first time in its history, the 2023 Drive Car of the Year overall award has been won by a commercial vehicle. This year marks the 17th annual Drive Car of the Year awards, one of the longest-running, most expansive, and authoritative consumer automotive awards in Australia.
“This year we’ve seen a dual-cab ute, the Ford Ranger, take out the 2023 overall Drive Car of the Year award for the first time”, said James Ward, Director of Content at Drive.com.au.
“This is also reflective of the current Australian sales mix. The Ford Ranger has redefined the 4×4 ute market by evolving into a cohesive lifestyle machine it’s – the SUV of utes.”
The result is also a great success story for the local automotive industry, as Ford Australia took the global lead on the new Ranger’s engineering and development. The Ford Ranger is offered in more than 180 markets around the world, serving as testament to the world class automotive expertise available on our doorstep.
Featuring new brands, new cars, new judges, and a new testing facility, Drive’s annual Car of the Year awards has never been bigger, better, or more comprehensive in its search for Australia’s best new cars.
“We’re ever adapting to suit the changing Australian automotive landscape,” said Ward.
“Our 2023 awards programme also incorporated four electric and hybrid vehicle categories and I think we’ll continue to see this segment of our testing continue to evolve.
“Hybridisation is the recurring theme we’re hearing from manufacturers as many of the models consumers already know and trust will soon be offered in a hybrid or electric option.”
“We are so proud that the Ranger has been named the 2023 Drive Car of the Year. To Ranger owners – whether you’re new to Ford or have been with us on the journey before – and to our passionate team at Ford Australia: this one’s for you” said Andrew Birkic, President and CEO, Ford Australia and New Zealand.
A team of more than 20 road testers and editors put more than 60 of the best and newest vehicles on the market through their paces on road, race track, and 4×4 off-road. Drive’s vision continues to offer the deepest and most relevant awards programme for Australia’s new car buyer.
Drive.com.au CEO, Simon Halfhide said, “I am so proud of the team here at Drive. Every year Drive Car of the Year continues to push the envelope setting the benchmark for Australian automotive awards testing.”
“These awards are not only trusted by the Australian buyer, they’re also highly valued by the automotive brands we work closely with. We consistently hear from brands how much a win such as this means to the team locally but also globally, be it engineering, design or marketing. This recognition also translates to sales.
Previous winners such as the Kia Sportage, reported a 22.8 per cent rise in Sportage total sales (source: Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries (FCAI)) over the three months following their Drive Car of the Year win compared to the three months prior.
“Every year, more than 500 new models enter the Australian car market. We are seeing many consumers overwhelmed by the research and comparison process. Drive Car of the Year does the hard work for them. Being an independent endorser and authoritative third party differentiates these awards as the most relevant in the market and makes us a trusted voice for the Australian new car buyer,” said Halfhide.
Whether it’s practical cars, go-anywhere SUVs, sexy sports cars, or electrifying EVs, the Drive Car of the Year Awards highlights the best new cars that represent the biggest step forward for the Australian buyer.

Nine’s talk radio stations have launched their highly successful internship program for 2023, focusing on Content Producers, Social Media and Podcasting.
This will be the fourth round of the internship program since its launch in 2022. It’s designed to discover the next generation of radio professionals, provide them with invaluable hands-on experience and a comprehensive understanding of what it’s like to work within a leading radio and audio business, with support from some of the best talent in the industry.
Importantly, the six-week internships are paid, and will be offered at each station: Sydney’s 2GB, Melbourne’s 3AW, Brisbane’s 4BC and 6PR in Perth.
During the program, interns are provided with hands-on training in radio production, broadcasting, journalism and social media. Successful applicants will work alongside the Digital Audio teams, learning how to drive audiences through engaging social media content and even get exposure to the 9Podcasts team, creating entertaining content for listeners.
Tom Malone, Managing Director of Nine Radio, said: “We’ve seen applications increase by more than 50 percent since the first round in 2022 and the quality keeps getting better.”
“To date, 82 percent of our interns have gained employment with our stations after completing the course, in roles such as producer, journalist or panel operator, and I’m so excited to see a new generation of talent continue to come up through the ranks, from a range of different backgrounds.”
This is the first of three internship rounds that will run in 2023. Applications close on 28 March, with successful applicants commencing in mid-April.

PANTHERS V RABBITOHS ON THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL QLD DERBY: BRONCOS V COWBOYS AT SUNCORP ON FRIDAY NIGHT FOOTY TIGERS AT LEICHHARDT OVAL ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON THE BEST COMMENTARY AND THE BEST GAMES ARE LIVE AND FREE ON CHANNEL 9HD AND 9NOW
After falling agonisingly short of premiership glory for five seasons, Latrell Mitchell’s Rabbitohs are out to get one back on the premiership-winning Panthers when they roll into Penrith for Thursday Night Footy.
The Panthers stumbled to a one-point defeat in Round 1 and face a South Sydney Rabbitohs side growing in confidence that their last two heartbreaking defeats in finals at the hands of the reigning premiers will not be “three-peated” in 2023.
Can Panthers superstar halfback Nathan Cleary guide them home or will Glory Glory to South Sydney be the tune booming out at full-time?
On Friday Night Footy we’ll see who rides highest in the Sunshine State saddle when the Queensland Derby pits the Brisbane Broncos against the North Queensland Cowboys. After developing into the most closely fought club rivalry of the past decade, this fixture always delivers a finals-type intensity.
The Broncos bring good vibes to the clash after upsetting the Panthers and welcome young gun fullback Reece Walsh into their lineup – his first appearance for the club.
The Cowboys, prizing their status as Queensland’s top NRL club, bring key internationals Valentine Holmes, Jason Taumalolo and Reuben Cotter to this buster of a muster in Brisbane.
Sunday Arvo Footy takes us into the heart of tiger town, Leichhardt Oval, for the Wests Tigers v Newcastle Knights clash.
A packed out Leichhardt Oval hill on a Sunday afternoon sets a fitting scene for the new Tim Sheens-Benji Marshall era of coaching to record its first win.
However, Knights recruit Jackson Hastings, the former Tiger, has other plans, hatched with his new halves partner Kalyn Ponga, to spoil the party for the Balmain faithful.
