KIIS FM’s Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O Henderson have continued their dominance atop Sydney’s FM radio ratings.
Figures for the second annual survey of listener numbers were released on Tuesday, showing the duo enjoying the biggest gain.
They increased their share of the market 2.3 per cent to sit at 12.3 per cent of the overall market, while Em Rusciano, Grant Denyer and Ed Kavalee’s 2Day FM show is finally showing signs of life.

The 2Day FM breakfast show, which has struggled in the ratings ever since Kyle and Jackie O left the network, put up a decent performance.
It earned 4.4 per cent of the overall ratings share, up 1 per cent from the first survey of the year.
However, the numbers weren’t enough to leapfrog rivals Nova, Smooth, Triple M, or WSFM, with the show still sitting towards the bottom of the FM pack.
It did however topple ABC’s youth alternative network Triple J, who lost 0.9 per cent to sit at 4.3 per cent.
How high? Kyle and Jackie O earned 12.3 of the audience share, while WSFM’s Jonesy and Amanda were second with 8.5 for WSFM

Smooth FM duo Bogart Torelli and Glenn Daniel, were next-highest, earning 6.6 per cent.
Their drop of 0.2 per cent leaves them in fourth place in the FM race.
Nova’s Fitzy & Wippa were next (in ascending order) in FM, adding 0.4 per cent of its start-of-year audience to score a 6.9 per cent share.

The overall ‘king’ remains AM’s Alan Jones, who once again lead the way, earning 2GB 14.3 percent, down 1.2 per cent from the start of the year.
AM and FM ratings aren’t generally compared, with the formats and advertising expenditure differing radically.
ABC Sydney gained 0.6 per cent in the AM race, good enough for second AM, and second overall with 9.7.
Third: Nova’s Fitzy & Wippa (pictured) were third in FM, adding 0.4 per cent of its start-of-year audience to score a 6.9 per cent share, while WSFM’s 8.1 per cent leaves them second
