Hello everyone,
my name is David Hall and I am currently doing research for an Honours
degree at Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne. The research
is in regards to talkback radio and how it affects its listeners. I am
seeking participants for online discussion groups which will run from
the 25th of June. Each discussion will take place over a week-long
period using e-mail lists. Participants will need to be at least 18-
years old and listen to Neil Mitchell, Alan Jones or John Laws. You
will also need to be able to check your email at least once a day.

If you would like to participate in this research, please email me at
[e-mail] and I will send further information.

Thank you,
David Hall

SYDNEY'S ABC702 has plummeted inexplicably in the fifth survey of the radio ratings year, with high-profile morning presenter Virginia Trioli again under ratings pressure.

Trioli, who was dropped with much fanfare into the Sydney radio market in 2005 from Melbourne, is now equal sixth in her time slot, beaten by the outgoing John Laws and equal with 2CH's veteran Bob Rogers.

Trioli and the "conversation hour" host Richard Fidler recorded a 6.7 per cent network share between 9am and 12pm, down from 8.5 per cent.

Trioli's predecessor Sally Loane left the station with an audience share of 9 per cent.

While its sister stations in the other four metropolitan markets held their ground, Sydney's ABC702 dropped from clear second to equal fifth in the country's biggest market, falling from a 9.3per cent network share to 7.6per cent.

"We've had a consistent line-up. We haven't changed what we're doing. Maybe it's one of those anomalous surveys," said James O'Brien, ABC's acting local radio manager.

"Our last 12 months have been consistent, so there's no need to panic. The listeners don't appear to have gone to other stations."

The network shares for all shifts fell, Richard Glover losing his top spot in drive to 2Day FM's Hamish & Andy with a 2.4 percentage point drop, while Trioli and Fidler's shared morning shift shed 1.8 points.

Only Adam Spencer and current affairs program AM were immune, their 0.9 point drop in the breakfast shift still allowing them a comfortable second place behind 2GB's Alan Jones.

Trioli, who also acts as a fill-in host on the ABC's current affairs flagship Lateline, is not the first radio presenter to struggle with the move between Melbourne and Sydney.

Steve Price moved from drive time on 3AW in Melbourne to 2UE breakfast radio in Sydney, but spent only a short time in the breakfast slot. Melbourne-based Derryn Hinch struggled in 1996 when he tried to take on then 2GB talkback king Laws. And the late Stan Zemanek went backwards in the ratings when he moved from Sydney to Melbourne's 3AW, ultimately returning to Sydney.

Laws's retirement elicited little sympathy with his Sydney audience, a gain of 0.4 points nevertheless pushing the Golden Tonsils into third position in the morning shift.

The twin pillars of commercial talk 2GB and 3AW maintained their market leadership in Sydney and Melbourne.

Ah... more droppings from the seagul

Not everything works Seagul.

Like Your Hero Magic 1278's Rick Ditchburn.
actualy lost audience in the latest survey showing that melbournes listeners are somewhat smarter than its seaguls.

At a 4.0 though Rick Ditchburn.does need your sympathy and support.

Perhaps he should lose his Don Lunn" voice and. infectious laugh.

In his Timeslot the most stations in melbourne have more audience.. maybe even 3GG and 7BU !!!
