‘Each market has performed well in its own right but as a collective, we’re even stronger, delivering a total of 5.29 million listeners each week across our broadcast network.

Jake Challenor, the publisher of industry bible Radio Today, said Kyle and Jackie O are paid $5million a year each to host Sydney’s top-rated FM breakfast show. 

While they easily have the most generous pay packet, there are plenty of other anchors who command seven-figure salaries.

Mr Challenor said the likes of Marty Sheargold, Amanda Keller, Dave Hughes, Ray Hadley, Neil Mitchell, Fifi Box, Sam Pang and Mick Molloy all earn ‘in the millions’.
