They have dominated FM radio for some time but the cracks may begin to be showing for KIISFM's Kyle & Jackie O. While it may be a little to early to panic just yet, the powerhouse duo's numbers slipped for the fifth consecutive time with this survey being the most devastating, as they dropped from 10.2 to 8.6 to tie with Jonesy & Amanda on WSFM. 

Similarly the KIIS drive slot made up of Dave Hughes and Kate Langbroek took a massive hit and dropped 2.2 points to hold a 9.1 share, while Nova's Kate, Tim & Marty reclaimed top spot with a share of 10.1.

Meanwhile, 2DayFM's newest breakfast duo Dan & Maz have seen a slight increase to clinch a 3.3 share — up 0.9 from the previous survey. While they still sit a great distance away from competitors, the Southern Cross Austereo network will hope the increase is a sign of things to come. 

Sydney's triple j was the only network in the country to experience steady results — the breakfast numbers jumped up by 0.2 to hold a 5.7 share, while they also saw an increase of 0.7 in the afternoon slot.
