Triple M Newcastle’s Tanya & Steve

Triple M continues to dominate the local radio landscape in GfK Survey 3 of 2025 for Newcastle, the final book for the year.

Despite an overall share drop of 0.1% to 21.0, Triple M Newcastle remains well clear of both its  SCA sister station Hit 106.9 and NEWFM.

Despite a dip in share and cume, Triple M’s local brekky team of Tanya Wilks and Steve Graham remain the clear leaders in that timeslot with a 22.1% share. Next is Hit duo Jess Farchione and the soon-to-be-departing Nick Allen-Ducat (-1.2% to 14.9), with triple j just nudging out NEWFM to hold down third spot in the brekky standings.

Triple M evenings picked up the most additional listeners overall.

SCA Head of Regional Content Blair Woodcock said “Today’s survey results solidify SCA’s position as the dominant market leader in Newcastle, growing its 25–54 reach to 59.4% – more than 107% ahead of our nearest commercial competitor network.”

“Fresh off their long-term signing, Tanya & Steve (Tanya Wilks and Steve Graham) have shown no signs of slowing down as they claim the #1 Breakfast spot again with a 23.7% share. Whether it’s launching the first Newcastle-to-Bali flight or entertaining listeners with their live and local show, Tanya & Steve are on the pulse of everything Newcastle, and their continued dominance reflects that.”

“Jess & Ducko (Jess Farchione and Nick ‘Ducko’ Allen-Ducat) posted another solid result today with a 14.9% share and are the #1 show for Women 25-54. As Ducko wraps up his chapter on Hit, we’d like to thank him for the infectious energy he’s brought to listeners. We’re excited about the upcoming developments for the Hit Newcastle Breakfast show with Jess and look forward to sharing some exciting announcements soon.”

“A massive congratulations to our Newcastle teams for their exceptional results this year and for consistently delivery engaging content that connects with listeners. With three from three survey wins in 2025 across both 10+ and 25–54 demos, two of the biggest Breakfast shows in market, and strong growth in the Audience That Matters demo, we’re in a fantastic position heading into 2026.”
