Melbourne listeners appear to have embraced long-time Sydney radio duo Brendan Jones and Amanda Keller following their much-publicised move from Breakfast to Drive on ARN’s Gold Network.
In the second metro radio survey of the year, Jonesy & Amanda grew their share on Gold 104.3 to be the overall #1 FM Drive show in Melbourne.
This year, the pair shifted to the later timeslot when The Christian O’Connell Show expanded into Sydney Breakfast.
Whilst O’Connell is still working to make inroads with his new Sydney audience, he has reclaimed the mantle as Melbourne’s #1 FM Breakfast show in the latest book.
Dave ‘Higgo’ Higgins (pictured above) is #1 FM in Mornings and Toni Tenaglia #1 overall and a whopping 4.7 points clear in Afternoons.
Gold 104.3 is Melbourne’s #1 FM station.
Celebrating the results on social media, Higgo said “Yes I’m bragging, because I’m so damn proud of everyone here. It’s not hyperbole when I say I work alongside the best people.”
“Kind, hilarious, supportive, and passionate. It’s a helluva place!”
Kerri Elstub, ARN Chief Content Officer, said: “GOLD Melbourne continues to be a juggernaut station, delivering its highest cume since 2023 and powered right across the day by a #1FM Breakfast show with Christian O’Connell and a brand‑new Drive show in Jonesy & Amanda that’s pulling ahead of the market in leaps and bounds.”
