The 2 Southern Cross Austereo stations hold onto #1 (NXFM) and #2 (KOFM). triple j makes some ground, jumps to 3rd.

Analysis is below…

NXFM went down 1.9 to 17.1%, now only 1.5 clear of sister station KOFM who went up 0.6 to 15.6%. While NXFM remains #1 Under 40 they did drop in every demo, with 3.7 down in 25-39 probably their most worrying. Steve & Kim finishing up on the station hasn't led to any growth in breakfast, going down 3.0 and narrowly retaining #1 behind KOFM. The reset button gets pushed now for NX with their new breakfast show, Heath & Normy, starting this month (see here).

NXFM mornings were down 1.7 to 14.9% (3rd from 2nd), arvos flat on 19.9 (#1), drive down 3.5 to 20.7% (#1) and nights up 2.2 and now #1 on 18.4%
