The second and final radio rating for some time have landed with Nine's 2GB retaining the top spot in Sydney and 3AW in Melbourne.
Greg Byrnes, Nine Radio’s head of content, says the news and talk teams have a key role to play at times like this.
“Today’s result is a clear acknowledgement that our listeners turn to us as a trusted source of information at a time like this. Over recent weeks we have seen an unprecedented number of listener calls and emails across 2GB, 3AW, 4BC and 6PR.
“These figures show that we have attracted many new listeners who have recognised the influence of talk radio’s open line and the importance of fast and reliable news and information.”
Commercial radio ratings will be paused until later in 2020 under restrictions imposed because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The figures cover from March 1 to April 4.
