After dominating FM breakfast radio for 15 straight surveys (that's November 2015 for those playing at home) KIIS heavyweights Kyle & Jackie O have today tied for the #1 spot, against WSFM veterans, Amanda & Jonesy, who both drew shares of 10.3.

Despite K&J climbing 0.3 from the last survey, Amanda & Jonesy's impressive 1.4 percent jump was enough to tie it all up. 

Meanwhile, WSFM have again been crowned Sydney's most listened to FM station overall, posting a 9.8 share, well ahead of former #1 station Smooth FM which drew an 8.7 percent share.

Triple J has endured a tough outing in the latest ratings, with drops across the board resulting in an overall share of 4.0 percent; down 0.7 from the last survey.

Shockingly, hometown heroes Hamish & Andy (Fox FM) have had their #1 position in the drive slot pinched by Smooth. Though the duo increased their share by 0.4 percent, Smooth's incredible surge of 1.9 percent nudged it ahead of Hamish & Andy by just 0.1 percent.

The increase also helped Smooth claim top honours for Melbourne's most listened to station overall.

Nova have proved to be the biggest winners in the Brisbane market, taking out the #1 spot in both breakfast and drive and the city overall, with a share of 13.5; a significant gap between it and second-placed 97.3FM's share of 10.7 percent.

The loss in the breakfast slot was a big one for 97.3FM, which fell from top spot to tied-third after dropping a 1.9 percent share.

Triple J managed to increase its overall share by 0.4 percent this time around, thanks to healthy increases in the evening (up 1.6 percent) and weekend (up 1.2 percent) slots.

Mix 94.5FM is again Perth's most listened to station too, pulling in an overall share of 13.7 percent, despite a 0.3 drop from the last survey, however it did finish in second spot behind Nova in both the breakfast and drive slots.

Triple J's overall share remains unchanged since the previous survey (5.6 percent), with Ben & Liam being the biggest winners for the youth broadcaster as they increased the breakfast share by 0.8 percent to pull a 6.1 rating.

Meanwhile, Mix 102.3 is still the city's most listened to station, even though it dropped by 0.7 percent, and still finished well ahead of second-placed Nova's share of 11.0 percent.
