Record audiences: Nine’s talk stations No.1 in Sydney and Melbourne

Sydney’s 2GB and Melbourne’s 3AW are the outright market leaders, and Brisbane’s 4BC and Perth’s 6PR have claimed No.1 in talk, as Nine’s radio stations have posted significant audience gains in Survey 2 for 2023, and more listeners turn to live and local content.

These results represent the highest audience cume for Survey 2 on record for Nine’s talk radio stations, up almost 4% overall, and 9% in 25-54s from Survey 1.

2GB is Sydney’s No.1 station with a 11.8 share (up 0.8) and audience gains across all programs.

Ben Fordham Live remains the number one talk show in Breakfast, with a 14.7 share (up 0.7). Ray Hadley has recorded his 148th consecutive survey win in Mornings, with 14.3 (up 0.3). Afternoons with Deb Knight and Drive with Chris O’Keefe were both No.1 in talk, posting 8.2 (up 0.5) and 6.8 (up 0.5) respectively.

Melbourne’s 3AW dominates as the clear market leader, recording its 69th consecutive win, with a 16.3 share.

Ross and Russ are the clear No.1 in Breakfast, with a 22 share – more than 10 points ahead of their nearest rival. Mornings with Neil Mitchell also recorded impressive gains to remain No.1, with 18.9 (up 0.7).

Brisbane’s 4BC has recorded its best Survey 2 cume result on record and the best share result for the station post-COVID.

Across the day, all programs recorded share increases and dominated talk, including Breakfast with Laurel, Gary and Mark, with 9.0 (up 0.6), Mornings with Ray Hadley (9-11am) 10.6 (up 1.8), Afternoons with Sofie Formica 6.8 (up 1.7) and Drive with Neil Breen 7.9 (up 1.9).

In Perth, 6PR’s key shifts have also seen audience increases to claim No.1 in talk. The new breakfast duo of Millsy and Karl recorded 10.6 (up 0.9), and Mornings with Gary Adshead is 7.1 (up 0.4).

Greg Byrnes, Nine Radio’s Head of Content, said: “This is a great result for Talk Radio. 2GB number is one in Sydney, 3AW dominates Melbourne, big gains on 4BC, and more people listening to 6PR’s brand new lineup. Survey-on-survey, 2GB’s audience is up almost 10% and 4BC’s almost 20%. Australians know they can rely on us for trusted live and local content and we thank them for switching us on each day.”

Buckle up and take a ride down memory lane with new podcast series ‘Cars That Made Australia’

From the Datsun 180B, to the Valiant Charger, and iconic Holden Commodore, everyone has a memory of the cars that have made their way into the hearts of millions of Aussies.

In the eight-part podcast series, Cars That Made Australia, which launches today, comedian Tim “Rosso” Ross takes listeners on a ride down memory lane, exploring our long-standing love affair with the humble automobile.

Whether it was the car your parents brought you home from the hospital in (potentially without being secured properly), or the one you crammed into on those hot summer road trips; the model you saved up for when you were a teenager, or the car your mate had that represented freedom on four wheels… this is the story of the people who drove them and the people that rode in them; the story of the Cars That Made Australia.

Through a mix of personal anecdotes and in-depth interviews with passionate owners, sentimental back seat drivers, auto experts and industry insiders, the podcast explores the significant role that cars have played in shaping Australia’s culture and society over the decades… and let us let out our inner bogan.

“Cars are our first big purchase and when our mum or dad or our grandparents got a new car it was the biggest thing going round”, said Ross.

“Telling our stories, big and small is important to me and I know that people are so nostalgic about the cars that have moved us around this fantastic country. I can’t wait to bring these stories to life in this new podcast series with Nine.”

Over the series, Tim Ross chats with the likes of Merrick Watts on his adventures in the infamous Leyland P76; acclaimed Australian director Fred Schepisi about being at the helm of the legendary ‘Hey Charger’ ad campaign; and Alex Kyriakopoulos, who worked on the production line at Holden for 14 years and was there as the very final vehicle rolled off the line.

Whether you’re a passionate car lover or just a nostalgic Aussie who grew up in the golden age of family sedans and affordable hatchbacks, Cars That Made Australia offers an entertaining reflection on the unique mark cars have made on our social history.

Episode one of Cars That Made Australia is available from Thursday 20 April and will be dropping every week.

Anzac weekend NRL four games for free

The powerful ANZAC spirit will be celebrated this week in NRL on Nine in four games of rugby league free, available to stream on 9Now, and watch on Channel 9HD.

THURSDAY NIGHT: RABBITOHS V PANTHERS
FRIDAY NIGHT: EELS V BRONCOS
SUNDAY: TIGERS V SEA EAGLES
ANZAC DAY: ROOSTERS V DRAGONS
STREAM NRL FOR FREE ON 9NOW

An annual highlight on the NRL calendar, the Roosters v Dragons clash on ANZAC Day will headline the week in front of a full house at the new Allianz Stadium for the first time. The stirring build-up to kick-off, featuring the Last Post, will be captured by Wide World of Sports with exclusive access to the ground from 3.00pm on Tuesday.

ANZAC Round fires up on Thursday Night Footy when superstars Latrell Mitchell and Nathan Cleary face-off in Rabbitohs v Panthers.

The Panthers have been the Rabbitohs’ kryptonite in recent seasons, beating them in a Grand Final and knocking them out of the preliminary final in 2022. However, this year the teams seem closer than ever, and don’t be surprised if passions spill over.

The Brisbane Broncos will burst on to Friday Night Footy when they meet the Eels in Darwin.

Sitting pretty at the top of the table with Adam Reynolds pulling the strings, Payne Haas leaving a path of destruction and Reece Walsh ripping through the backfield, the Broncos look ominous but need to keep it going against the Eels, 2022 grand finalists.

And Sunday Arvo Footy pits the trying Tigers against Tommy Turbo’s Sea Eagles. The Tigers are desperate to get into the winners circle and face a tough task in containing a bruising Manly forward pack and Origin stars including Daly Cherry-Evans and Jake Trbojevic, Tom’s tireless brother.

Stephen Fry to host Jeopardy! Australia

Australia will get its very own version of the hit international quiz show Jeopardy! with Jeopardy! Australia coming to Channel 9 and 9Now.

Jeopardy! Australia will feature Australian contestants in one of the world’s longest-running game shows, which will be hosted by renowned English broadcaster and actor, Stephen Fry.

Comprising six prime-time specials, the local spin on the hit American format will be produced by Whisper North for Channel 9. Filming will begin next month in Manchester, England.

In addition, Channel 9 will broadcast ITV’s highly anticipated new series of Jeopardy! UK, which Fry will also host.

Stephen Fry said: “Jeopardy! has a format that – strikingly unusual as it seems at first – just gets under the skin of an audience, and reveals more and more depths of delight. Not to mention more and more depths of knowledge amongst the population. I reckon Australia will welcome this uniquely beguiling and endlessly rewarding game and I just can’t wait to get started.”

Adrian Swift, Nine’s Head of Content, Production and Development, said: “Nine is thrilled to welcome two great institutions to the network: Jeopardy! the world’s greatest quiz show format and Stephen Fry the doyen of TV hosts. With Stephen at the helm Jeopardy! Australia will deliver the pure excitement of this beloved format to Australian viewers”.

Flipping the traditional Q&A format, Jeopardy! presents answers first in the form of short, written clues. Contestants must then respond in the form of a question that correctly identifies the clue description. This general knowledge showdown is an opportunity to amass a lucrative cash prize the longer contestants can stay in the game.

Sunil Patel, Whisper CEO, said: “It’s great to see the continuing success of Jeopardy! and to be able to play a part in its international future. It’s incredible for Whisper North to have the privilege of being able to introduce the show to a new generation of fans both in the UK and now Australia for a prime-time audience, hosted by the legendary Stephen Fry.”

Jeopardy! Australia is a Whisper North production for Channel 9. The executive producers are Kerri Reid, Tom McLennan and Stephen Fry.

Key sport commercial roles announced as Nine heads into new Olympic sporting era

Nine has appointed Andrew Cann and Andrew Nicholls to senior roles in Nine’s Sport Commercial leadership team, in a move that further supercharges Nine’s enviable sports marketing platform as it engages with the market on its Olympic commercial offering.

As Director of Sales – Olympic Games, Cann will lead the development of Nine’s Olympic commercial strategy and implementation across all platforms, providing opportunities for brands within Nine’s Olympic coverage never before available in Australia.

Both will report to Director of Sales – Sport and Olympic Games, Matthew Granger.

The appointments of these two senior roles represents a key step in Nine’s investment into sport as a powerful content platform across a Total Television, Total Publishing and Total Audio landscape.

Combined with its 20 million signed-in user data proposition, Nine continues to lead the way in delivering the needs of audiences and partners, giving clients the opportunity to connect their brands in meaningful and contextual ways that deliver powerful business and marketing results.

Matthew Granger, Director of Sales Sport and Olympic Games, said: “Both these appointments herald a new era in growing Nine’s mega sport marketing platform.

His experience and expertise across all elements of the sport media landscape makes him the perfect addition to our team to assist Nine in enabling brands to make the most of our unrivalled content ecosystem.

With the strengths of Nine’s content platforms and the proven track record of WWOS, I can’t wait to work with brands to unlock and connect them with audiences in a way, and on a scale, never seen before in this country. The Olympic Games are a unique and special event, and I feel privileged to be part of Nines Olympic journey. Bring on Paris 2024!”

Nicholls has most recently run his own media and sport consultancy firm, having worked previously as Director of Sport – Network Sales and Head of Sport Sales Strategy at Seven West Media.

“I started my career at Nine and to return and be surrounded by such a compelling arsenal of broadcast, publishing and audio assets is super exciting. To be working with the strongest sporting stable, featuring codes as diverse and prestigious as the Olympics, NRL, Australian Open Tennis and the suite of Grand Slams, the Ashes, Rugby Union and Swimming championships to name just a few, is an incredible opportunity.

Future Women’s ‘There’s No Place Like Home’ podcast named as a finalist in the 15th Annual Shorty Awards

Future Women’s groundbreaking podcast, ‘There’s No Place Like Home‘ is a finalist in the 15th Annual Shorty Awards, an international competition honouring outstanding work in digital and social media.

There’s No Place Like Home is a ten-part series, created in collaboration with Commonwealth Bank Next Chapter, that reveals the true scourge of domestic and family violence in Australia.

The podcast sensitively interweaves the shocking true stories of domestic and family violence survivors, with expert commentary and evidence. It has been awarded locally at the 2022 Mumbrella Publish Awards.

Future Women’s Founder and Managing Director Helen McCabe said being shortlisted is a testament to the importance and impact of victim-survivors telling their own stories, in their own words.

“In the last two years Australia has had its own reckoning about sexual assault, abuse and domestic violence. This recognition shows the value of centring victim-survivors in these conversations not just in Australia, but on the global stage.”

Future Women’s Deputy Managing Director, Jamila Rizvi, said it was a privilege to work alongside the experts in the family violence sector.“One woman is killed by a partner or former partner, every week, in Australia. The people who work every day to prevent and respond to family violence, are tireless in their pursuit of a change in these shocking statistics.”

To create There’s No Place Like Home, Future Women has collaborated with Commonwealth Bank, which is supporting long-term financial independence for victim-survivors of financial abuse through CommBank Next Chapter.

Season two, which is now in production, will launch in June 2023.

Australia’s first-class travel destination, Traveller, takes off with a new digital look and commercial offering

New-look superbrand travel title features destination and holiday guides by Australia’s most experienced travel writers and a dynamic offering for brands.

As Australia experiences a post-pandemic travel boom, the country’s most respected and knowledgeable travel writers are leading Traveller into a bold new digital era, with a revamped offering for subscribers and brands as the site is fully integrated into Nine’s metro titles.

From today, traveller.com.au is fully integrated into The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, Brisbane Times and WAtoday websites, with new editorial offerings including holiday and destination guides; an affordable travel series; enhanced site navigation and search capability, with readers able to save stories in preparation for their next trip and share travel tips.

Featuring travel experts in editors Trudi Jenkins, Anthony Dennis and Craig Platt as well as regular columnists Ben Groundwater, Michael Gebicki and Lee Tulloch, subscribers can now access a wealth of ideas to help them plan their holiday.

Destination Guides are an indispensable resource full of must-do highlights, and where to stay and eat when planning a trip to places both in Australia and overseas, including London, Fiji, New York and Bali. Holiday Guides will focus on a theme or type of holiday such as beaches and islands, solo travel, sustainable holidays and cruising, featuring tips and recommendations for every type of traveller.

The guides also provide a dynamic opportunity for brands, with the new-look site able to connect them with a high-value, engaged audience through immersive branded content, contextual alignment in the guides and sponsorship opportunities.

While Australians are some of the world’s keenest travellers, it’s not as easy as it used to be to set off on holiday, with cost and capacity still a factor. Traveller’s new affordable travel series will feature stories including how to do Europe on a budget, best-value family destinations and the best beach stays in South-East Asia for less than $100 a night.

“Traveller is Australia’s most-trusted publisher of expert advice, reviews and the go-to destination for anyone in search of inspiration and insider knowledge for their next holiday,” said Julia Naughton, Head of Life of The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, Brisbane Times and WAtoday.

“Whether planning, or just dreaming of an adventure, this integration represents our commitment to giving Traveller readers a revitalised experience, and our subscribers more value than ever before.”

With a monthly cross-platform readership of 1.6 million* and a social-media presence of nearly 300,000 people, Traveller is a travel destination in its own right.

“A much-loved brand like Traveller, with a team that has an enviable knowledge of this segment, is the perfect environment for brands to align with, ensuring they target audiences at scale who are passionate about travel whether it be domestic or international,” said Jo Clasby, Director of Sales Total Publishing.

“This new-look site will enable brands to interact with a high-value travel audience like never before, from solus EDMs, branded content and high-impact contextual alignment to social extensions and sponsorships of newsletters and podcasts.”

The new-look Traveller site launches today, through smh.com.au/traveller; theage.com.au/traveller; brisbanetimes.com.au/traveller and watoday.com.au/traveller

Bennett will be drawing on his knowledge of his former club to upset the Rabbitohs and keep the Dolphins’ amazing season going.

The Ferrari of fullbacks, Latrell Mitchell, will meet “The Hammer”, Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow, in an exhilarating match-up behind two packs of forwards primed for a ferocious battle.

Friday Night Footy reignites the deep-seated rivalry between the Manly Sea Eagles and Melbourne Storm. Vivid memories of the infamous 2011 Battle of Brookvale come to the fore every time these teams meet at Manly’s home ground, and Manly need a big scalp after being demolished by the Panthers last week.

Daly Cherry-Evans and Tom Trbojevic hold the keys to victory for the Sea Eagles, who will have their hands full containing the brilliance of Cameron Munster, Harry Grant and Jahrome Hughes.

The Eels and Bulldogs square off in a Sunday Arvo Footy clash between elite playmakers Mitch Moses and Matt Burton, with both sides yet to drop into their winning groove this season.

The Bulldogs are beefed up by the return of bruising forwards Viliame Kikau and Tevita Pangai Junior while the Eels get their Origin forward Junior Paulo back on deck.

Wide World of Sports has exclusive access to Commbank Stadium for its Sunday Arvo Footy commentary team this week, one of more than 140 rugby league games it is bringing viewers for free in 2023.
