Adelaide August radio ratings show Ali Clarke is back in top spot

In a surprise radio ratings result, the breakfast radio crown has changed hands in Adelaide with a long-time winner back in top spot. See all the results.

ABC Adelaide breakfast presenter Ali Clarke is back in top spot in the latest radio ratings results.

In the fifth survey for the year, Clarke has made a strong gain of 3.8 share points to finish with 16.2.

Second spot went to FIVEaa brekky presenters David Penberthy and Will Goodings, who recorded 13.6 after a dip of 1.9.

In the previous survey in July, the duo had stolen the brekky crown from Clarke, who had held the top spot since the start of the year.

Mix 102.3’s Erin Phillips and Mark Soderstrom are again in third place again, on 10.8, despite a dip of 1.0. The result makes the Erin & Soda Show the top-rating FM brekky program.

Triple M duo Mark Ricciuto and Chris Dittmar, who were in fourth spot last survey, have lost that position to Nova 919’s Ben Harvey and Liam Stapleton.

The Ben & Liam Show recorded 10.1 (down 0.2).

Roo and Ditts were in fifth place with 9.4 (down 1.1), followed by SAFM’s Rebecca “Bec” Morse, and Andrew “Cosi” Costello and Andrew “Lehmo” Lehmann on 9.2 (up 0.6).

It’s too early to really assess the impact of Nova’s new Saturday brekky show starring Jodie Oddy, who left rival station Mix late last year after 13 years, is rating: The Jodie Oddy Show, which is co-hosted by Max Burford and Tiff Warne, made its debut on July 7, one week before survey five’s ratings period ended.

Mix is still No. 1 on the weekends with 14.3 share points, with its easy listening AM sister station Cruise in second spot on 12.2.

Mix is also Adelaide’s No. 1 station overall with 13.9 (up 0.7), followed by ABC Adelaide on 12.2 (up 2.4), FIVEaa on 10.3 (down 2.0), Cruise 1323 on 9.9 (down 0.7) and Nova on 9.8 (down 0.6).
