Triple M's Beau Ryan and Aaron Woods take a hit in radio ratings
Triple M's rebooted Sydney breakfast show shed 1.5 per cent market share in the latest radio survey, a result bound to worry bosses at Southern Cross Austereo (SCA).
The Beau Ryan and Aaron 'Woodsy' Woods hosted show dropped to a 4.4 market share, well down from a previous 5.9 in Sydney.
The loss reflected Triple M's decline across the week in all timeslots in Sydney in survey three of the year.
The station was down 1.5 on the previous survey.
Conversely SCA's sister station 2DAY lifted at breakfast by 0.5.
The result has put some welcome wind in the sails of that program's new-in-2025 hosts Jimmy Smith, Emma Chow and Nath Roye who achieved a 3.9 share (up from 3.4), a hopeful sign for the youthful trio.
2DAY finished up 0.2 overall with a 4.5 share – trailing Triple M's 4.9 share by a margin of 0.4.
KIIS FM, the home of the Kyle & Jackie O breakfast show, again dropped market share in Sydney (-0.2) in the latest survey – a result that could confirm fears parent company ARN's focus on capturing Melbourne may ultimately be at the expense of the duo's home town.
It comes after KIIS shed 0.4 per cent of share in the previous survey.
KIIS finished third in Sydney in the latest radio survey, behind 2GB (up 0.8 to 13.6) and Smooth (up 0.6 to 12.4), with a 9.3 share overall.
Despite this concerning overall trend, Kyle & Jackie O show was again the number one FM radio breakfast show in Sydney with a share of 12.5 (up 0.2).
It was a vastly different story for the duo however in Melbourne with the Kyle & Jackie O show shedding the gains made in the previous survey, one artificially boosted by the $5 million Dawn Dig cash giveaway.
Australia's highest paid radio stars finished down 0.7 in Melbourne with a 5.1 market share.
The result saw them drop a place from seventh back to eighth most popular radio show in the southern capital.
ABC Sydney continued its downward slide in Sydney with all four programs across the day losing audience and finishing the survey with a 6.2 share (down 0.1).
Craig Reucassel slipped at breakfast (-0.1 to an 8.2 share), Hamish Macdonald in mornings (-0.8 to 5.5), James Valentine in afternoons (-0.6 to 4.7) and Chris Bath (-1.2 to 5.3).
Only evenings host Renee Krosch lifted across the week, improving her share by 2.4 to 8.4.
2GB made gains on the ABC's losses.
Breakfast host Ben Fordham was up 1.1 to 16.7, mornings host Mark Levy held onto his 15.5 share from previous survey, afternoon host Malcolm McLaren lifted to 10.6 (+ 0.6), while Clinton Maynard finished on 8.6 (+ 0.4).
In Melbourne the ABC rallied after recording a record-low result in the previous survey.
ABC Melbourne achieved a 6.2 share, up 1.9, the station's breakfast duo of Bob Murphy and Sharnelle Vella lifting by an impressive 2.0 points to topple Kyle and Jackie O in the breakfast slot by 2.5 points with their 7.6 share.

ASX flat on Tuesday as Iran/Israel conflicts leaves investors wary
Nervous investors continued to watch the fallout from the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran, leading to a cautious trading day on the Australian share market on Tuesday. The benchmark ASX 200 index practically traded flat, losing just 7.10 points or 0.08 per cent to close at 8,541.30. The broader All Ordinaries also slipped 3.90 points or 0.04 per cent to 8,771.10. The Aussie dollar is trading near US65.31c. Initially markets jumped on the opening bell before the Australian market dragged lower in line with US and Europe futures as US President Donald Trump urged people to leave the Iran capital of Tehran. Mr Trump issued the chilling warning to everyone in Tehran to 'immediately evacuate' in a post made on his social media platform Truth Social. 'Iran should have signed the 'deal' I told them to sign. What a shame, and waste of human life,' Mr Trump wrote. Futures markets in the US slid, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropping 0.32 per cent, while the S & P 500 futures dropped 0.34 per cent, and the tech heavy Nasdaq 100 futures dipped nearly 0.4 per cent. On the local bourse, seven of the 11 sectors finished in the red paring back some of the early gains. Gold miners were the bright spot on the market for a second day running with Northern Star Resources gaining 1.50 per cent to $20.99, Newmont Corporation added 2.49 per cent to $89.29 and Gold Road Resources finished up 0.60 per cent to $3.38. On the other hand, the market heavyweight financial sector dragged on the market. Commonwealth Bank fell 0.15 per cent to $179.14, NAB slipped 0.36 per cent to $38.80, Westpac slumped 0.54 per cent to $33.01 and ANZ finished in the red down 0.47 per cent to $29.46. The major iron ore miners had a mixed day as the price of the commodity traded flat at $US95.23 per tonne. BHP fell 0.37 per cent to $37.30 and Fortescue Metals slumped 0.38 per cent to $15.66. Bucking the trend was Rio Tinto which eked out a tiny 0.04 per cent gain to close at $107.15. AMP chief economist and head of investment strategy Shane Oliver said the market was following its usual process with history showing falls of around 6 per cent during times of geopolitical uncertainty, before rallying by 15 per cent in the corresponding 12 months. 'The Israel/Iran war along with tariff uncertainty poses a high risk of a renewed set back in share markets, if the conflict escalates to the point that it threatens oil supplies from the Middle East,' Dr Oliver said. 'It should also be remembered that conflicts regularly flare up in the Middle East only to settle down, so the key is not to get too negative and look for any opportunities that the conflict throws up.' In corporate news Santos continued its climb higher adding another 0.5 per cent of $7.80 after soaring more than 11 per cent on Monday after announcing an almost $30bn takeover bid.

Lowes heir Josh Penn and Ben Palmer's Point Piper home sells
Lowes heir Josh Penn and his husband Ben Palmer have sold their Wyuna Rd, Point Piper mansion for $23.5m. The couple, with son Brooklyn, 6, and daughter Blake, 4, are now understood to be focusing on renovating the Penn family's palace at Cap 'd'ail in the south of France, where they're intending on spending some time next year. And they're also now debating whether to move to their former Double Bay home, now rebuilt, or to another eastern suburbs mansion they've apparently purchased, that's 'quite substantial'. MORE: Hush-hush sale hits 2025 record MORE:Billionaire chicken heiress's record-breaking sale Penn and Palmer are listed as co-owners on the land title for Capri, the Edwardian residence at 4 Wyuna Rd bought for $16m in 2021, alongside Penn's parents David and Linda Penn who have 70 per cent ownership. But it's now sold via Monika Tu and Jad Khattar of Black Diamonz, with Tom Penfold of Cohen Handler known to have introduced the buyer. There'd initially been hopes of $28m. Penn and Palmer had been living in Capri during the three-year rebuild of their own home at 7 Carlotta Rd, Double Bay, bought for $6.7m in 2020, which is apparently 'incredible' and nearly ready to move into. No clue yet as to the location of this other 'quite substantial' property, which is yet to settle. The Wyuna Rd residence was previously owned by nursing-home scion Mark Moran and his interior decorator wife Evette. The historic home on a 723sqm block had harbour views, an internal lift, multiple balconies, manicured grounds and a pool. Penn and Palmer had initially intended to do major renovations, but ended up doing just landscaping the garden and adding lighting. Their good taste in furniture helped give the home extra zing. Josh Penn and mother Linda, the highly regarded philanthropist and CEO of Lowes Menswear that's worth $800m, recently raised a whopping $84.3m at the recent Gold Dinner for the Sydney Children's Hospital foundation.

Treasurer opens door to tax debate, saying everything is on the table at productivity roundtable
Jim Chalmers will throw open the door to a wider debate on potential tax changes at the government's economic reform summit in August as the treasurer hangs a lantern on Labor's "obligation to work out what comes next". Seeking a fresh political approach to making policy changes — amid growing questions about what the government plans to do with its thumping May 3 electoral mandate — Mr Chalmers will urge people to feel emboldened about proposing new tax reform ideas. "I expect, I anticipate, I welcome tax being an important part of the conversation," Mr Chalmers told reporters on Tuesday, ahead of an address to the National Press Club on Wednesday during which he will flesh out the government's planned "productivity roundtable". The treasurer said it "would be hard" to address the government's stated goals of making the economy more productive, returning the federal budget to a sustainable footing, and boosting economic resilience "without people raising their ideas when it comes to tax". Business groups have welcomed the roundtable opportunity, but expressed some scepticism with a belief that last term's "jobs and skills summit" became dominated by unions. It is not yet clear whether the opposition has been invited. Mr Chalmers will warn that while the government took "meaningful action" last term on structural pressures in the budget, such as in the NDIS and aged care, the job was not finished, and pressures on the budget were intensifying rather than easing. The government has a wide range of potential tax reforms open to it, having not ruled out changes on personal tax, company tax, or in areas such as electric vehicle taxes, where Labor has already indicated it will do more policy work. Participants to the roundtable, which will take place in the cabinet room in the second half of August, will be free to raise whatever ideas and concerns they have and will not be subject to non-disclosure agreements, the ABC understands. The roundtable is expected to be a number of sessions focused around the three priorities of productivity, budget "sustainability" and economic resilience, with each session including a small number of attendees. Mr Chalmers will tell the press club that people should not assume that "extreme volatility" around the world is temporary, and that it "reflects deeper currents". "So much of the democratic world is vulnerable because governments are not always meeting the aspirations of working people," he will say. "We have a responsibility here and an obligation. "A responsibility to rebuild confidence in liberal democratic politics and economic institutions — by lifting living standards for working people in particular "And an obligation to future generations to deliver a better standard of living than we enjoy today." After a first term dominated by inflation shocks, which led to a leap in interest rates and a squeeze on living standards, Mr Chalmers is pushing to make the government's second term about productivity reform. The press club speech follows a similar address by the prime minister last week, in which he announced the planned productivity gathering, due to include unions, businesses and interest groups. Mr Chalmers will say that the government aims to deliver on its housing and energy election promises but that these are "not the limits of our ambitions". "They're a foundation not a definition. "We have a mandate to deliver the policies and plans we took to the election, and a duty to build on them. "And the best way to work out what's next is together."
