Triple M Gold has knocked ARN’s Hot Tomato off its perch as the #1 Breakfast show in the latest GfK Survey for the Gold Coast.

The local Triple M trio of Leisel Jones, Liam Flanagan and Peter ‘Spida’ Everitt went up 0.9 to now hold a 16.7% share in Breakfast, leapfrogging longtime leaders, Hot Tomato’s Paul Gale and Emily Jade O’Keeffe (-3.5 to 15.3%)

Hot Tomato remains the #1 station overall (-3.1 to a 16.4% share and shedding 6,000 listeners). The station is now less than two share points clear of 92.5 Triple M Gold among all people 10+, with Sea FM rounding out the top three.

Seven Media Group’s Blair Woodcock, Gold Coast General Manager & Content Director, said:

“Triple M Gold is back at #1 in Breakfast. For the first time since 2018, Triple M Breakfast with Leisel Jones, Liam & Spida has taken the Gold Coast’s top spot with a 16.7% share.”

“Winning a market this competitive proves just how strongly Leisel, Liam, Spida and the entire team connects with Gold Coast listeners every morning. It’s an incredible achievement and a proud milestone for the entire team.”

“The momentum doesn’t stop in Breakfast. Triple M Gold secured #1 results across a number of key demographics and dayparts, while Sea FM claimed the #1 station on the Gold Coast for people under 40 for the first time since 2023, strengthened by Jess & Rohan in Breakfast winning their key demo (#1 F25-54).”

Hot Tomato Content Director, Brendon “Whippy” Dangar, said “Another great achievement for a local team that turn up every day to connect with the Gold Coast. We are thrilled Gold Coasters trust us to keep them informed and entertained every day.”

Mike Harvey, General Manager, Hot Tomato, said “Achieving the Number 1 station for 24 surveys in a row in what is a strong radio market is something we do not take lightly. To have all our shows right across the day and weekends as the number 1 for audience delivery is even more special. It is testament to our commitment to 100% Live & Local, and to the incredible talent we have right across every department at Hot Tomato. All our shows, like all our staff are 100% Gold Coast locals, we love the brand, we love the Gold Coast, and we live both every day. This is obviously resonating with Gold Coasters and we are extremely proud of the amazing audience figures we are able to deliver to our advertisers and client partners.”
