Philip Clark still king of breakfast radio in Canberra

Philip Clark remains Canberra's most popular breakfast radio host ahead of FM104.7's Scotty and Nige but a growing number of listeners are tuning into RN Breakfast's Fran Kelly for a national slant on the day's news.

ABC 666's breakfast audience fell by 1.1 percentage points, claiming a 20 per cent share of listeners, while FM104.7 lost a sliver (0.4 percentage points), picking up a 17.8 per cent share of the audience.

ABC Radio National claimed bronze with a substantial jump of 4.1 percentage points, claiming 16 per cent of the breakfast audience and soaring past MIX 106.3's Kristen and Rod, whose audience fell by 2.7 percentage points to 16 per cent of listeners during the 5.30am to 9am timeslot.

FM 104.7 retains the largest number of listeners with 18.5 per cent of Canberrans aged 10 years or older tuning into the commercial station each week – an extra 1.5 percentage points.

FM104.7 and MIX106.3 general manager Eoghan O'Byrne​ said he was pleased with Canberra FM's solid performance.

"We continue to identify with our community," he said. "We pride ourselves in being everything Canberra and we are always striving to improve our perception in the marketplace."

Canberra's youth continue to turn to the station, including more than half of listeners aged 10 to 24 years old and more than a fifth of Canberrans aged 25 to 39.

But the biggest jump in young listeners has been among the capital's 18 to 24 year olds, with 50.7 per cent share of the audience compared to 30.8 per cent in the last ratings survey late 2014.
