Three surveys in a row now with a cume of 255,000 and still absolutely dominating the 50+ audience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In Melbourne, things held reasonably steady.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[There was] a great little lift for 3MP, which we were really happy with,\u201d says Vertigan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s it\u2019s best result this year. Magic stayed solid too. Together, these two performing with the 55 to 64 market, a stronger share we\u2019ve seen under ACE ownership.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Vertigan says it was a bit of a rough book for Sydney\u2019s 2UE this time around with declines in both cume and TSL (Time Spent Listening).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut we feel as though we\u2019re identifying where the opportunities are and we\u2019ve got some tactics in place to hopefully drive some engagement back up and we\u2019re hoping to see some better numbers in Survey 6.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re excited about the growth we\u2019re seeing, especially in Brisbane and Melbourne and confident about the plans we have in Sydney.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>ACE Radio Broadcasters is home to 21 stations over twelve key population centres across Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane as well a regional Victoria and Southern New South Wales.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Radio Ratings September 10, 2025 Jon Vertigan.
