Ben Fordham has officially established himself as Sydney’s number one radio host.
Fordham and 2GB came close to recording an all-time best result for the Sydney breakfast radio market in the latest survey, which also saw KIIS 106.5’s The Kyle and Jackie O Show still leading the FM airwaves.
2GB registered a 19.8 per cent audience share – a one point jump from the previous survey and a result Fordham was more than thrilled by.

‘We love doing what we do and we love knowing that people are listening. It’s a top result for 2GB and all of our presenters and producers,’ he told The Daily Telegraph.
‘We spend a lot of time advocating on behalf of our listeners and we appreciate their loyalty,’ he added.
It comes as more listeners tune into AM over FM due to rolling news coverage and analysis of the Covid-19 pandemic, lockdowns, restrictions and travel bans.
