Kyle and Jackie O are officially Sydney’s No. 1 breakfast radio show in terms of audience share.

The program has been top of the FM shows in Sydney for most of the past decade, however they have mostly come in second place overall to the AM 2GB breakfast show, previously helmed by Alan Jones and now hosted by Ben Fordham.

This most recent survey, however, has “The Kyle and Jackie O Show” on 14.9% share (up from 12.8% last survey), with “Ben Fordham Live” on 14.8% (down from 16.9%).

The stations themselves are also neck and neck, with 2GB narrowly holding onto its lead with an 11.6% share (down from 12.8%) compared to Kiis’ 11.3% (up from 9.5%).

“The Kyle and Jackie O Show” is easily the leader in Sydney in terms of its cumulative audience, boasting 818,000 compared to Fordham’s 455,000.

The duo behind the show, Kyle Sandilands and Jackie Henderson, were recently inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame at the Australian Commercial Radio Awards (ACRAs).

The show also took home Best On-Air Team (Metro FM) and Best Networked Program (Metro). Sandilands was also awarded Best Entertainment Presenter (Metro) and his “Get Vaxxed Baby” campaign alongside ARN’s Derek Bargwanna, Matthew Petherick, Sam Vallins and Kian Oliver won Best Multimedia Execution – Station (Metro), while the “Kyle and Jackie O’s Set You Up For Life” initiative won Best Station Promotion (Metro).
