Grimmie Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Amazed to see only commercial stations ratings up there. I know RTR FM is hugely popular here in Perth and their equivalent community stations in other cities ignored too. Would love to see how their numbers stack-up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I was thinking the same thing here, being an avid RTRFM listener and donor. I assume there are fees to be involved in the survey and some stations on a shoestring budget dont see it as worthwhile.

~Spyne~ Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 (edited) I don't really care too much in general, but interested to see that JJJ has lost ground in Melbourne and Adelaide, but gained in the other three (major) capitals. Perhaps MEL/ADL have a higher percentage of people moving to streaming for their 'alternative'/new music or a greater choice of high quality community radio offerings?

I assume there are fees to be involved in the survey and some stations on a shoestring budget dont see it as worthwhile. The surveys are put together by a group sponsored by the commercial radio fraternity which is why some stations are missing. I personally prefer community radio over the repetitive music played on commercial radio. I think RTR would be the same as FBI Sydney or PBS Melbourne? Some stations do their own surveys and generally rate very well. One other station I do like that isn't listed is the Classic Rock station on 1377am - 60's - 80's rock in Melbourne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree more people are moving to streaming of late. I've often found the music played on Melbourne commercial radio is better than in Sydney which might explain the JJJ result.

I started the thread for anyone who's interested in radio. And that's not coming from Alan Jones or Kyle. It's coming from me I'm interested in the topic and it's good to see some replies. Cheers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi mate. I really appreciate your reply and I apologise if my post was seen as an attempt to derail your thread. It was a bit of a joke but on reflection,probably one in bad taste.

It was prerecorded and I used to fall asleep in the car (between shifts) listening to it. Funniest moment was an arvo shift show - my mate was listening to it and asked what song I just played... and I couldn't remember.. until my own voice told us all.
