Women dominate Gold Logie 2025 nominations as new award honouring legend revealed
Women have dominated the Gold Logie field, scoring six of the seven nominations, with Sonia Kruger nominated for her second and two-time Gold Logie winner Hamish Blake the sole male contender.
Joining Blake and Kruger on the Gold Logie list were Julia Morris, Ally Langdon, Lisa Millar, Poh Ling Yeow and Lynne McGranger.
Meanwhile, the ABC has once again triumphed in the nominations, with 44 in total, including 38 nods in the best categories, with nominations across drama, comedy, children's and entertainment.
Netflix was the most awarded streamer, with Apple Cider Vinegar and Territory scoring a total of 15 nominations.
Meanwhile, five-time Gold Logie winner Ray Martin has been honoured with the Ray Martin Award for Most Popular News or Public Affairs Presenter. A publicly voted award, it stands alongside the Bert Newton Award for Most Popular Presenter and the Graham Kennedy Award for Most Popular New Talent.
Martin announced the nominees – Ally Langdon (Nine), David Speers (ABC), Michael Usher (Seven), Peter Overton (Nine), Sarah Ferguson (ABC) and Tara Brown (Nine) – for his award at the Sydney Opera House on Monday morning.
More than ever, the nominations felt like a changing of the guard, with acting heavyweights and serial nominees, Asher Keddie, David Wenham, Claudia Karvan, William McInnes and Sam Reid, all overlooked. Instead, rising stars were lauded such as Apple Cider Vinegar's Alycia Debnam-Carey and Aisha Dee, The Newsreader's Michelle Lim Davidson, Territory's Sam Corlett, and Stan's Nugget is Dead: A Christmas Movie's Jenna Owen and Vic Zerbst. That pair's ABC satire Optics was also nominated for best comedy.
Netflix ruled the 'best' categories, with cancer conwoman drama Apple Cider Vinegar the most successful show, with eight nominations, including best miniseries or telemovie and best lead actress in a drama for US star Kaitlyn Dever, who starred as Belle Gibson, and Alycia Debnam-Carey, who played terminally ill wellness guru Milla Blake.
It was closely followed by Territory, the 'Dallas with dingoes' outback romp, which scored seven nominations, including best drama, best lead actress for Anna Torv and best lead actor nods for Michael Dorman, Robert Taylor and Sam Corlett.

ABC Radio Australia's Marshall Islands launch completes historic Pacific expansion
ABC Radio Australia's ambitious two-year FM expansion project in the Pacific has concluded with the recent launch in the Marshall Islands of a new FM transmitter. Residents of Majuro atoll are the latest listeners to join the network, which has doubled and now extends to 25 locations across the region. The expansion project was funded by the Australian Federal Government's Indo Pacific Broadcasting Strategy and began in 2023, when ABC Radio Australia established an FM service in Gizo, Solomon Islands. Since then, the ABC has partnered with broadcasters and transmission providers across the region, to develop and launch services in Federated States of Micronesia (Pohnpei), Palau (Koror), Nauru, Kiribati (Tarawa), Tuvalu (Funafuti), Cook Islands (Rarotonga), Auki in the Solomon Islands and three additional Papua New Guinea locations, in East New Britain (Kokopo), Manus Island (Lorengau) and the Autonomous Region of Bougainville (Buka). Alongside its investment in broadcast and delivery infrastructure, ABC Radio Australia has also tripled its Pacific content offering, launching new news, music, sport and cultural programming to better entertain and inform its growing audiences. ABC Radio Australia celebrated the milestone by co-hosting an event with the Australian Ambassador to the Marshall Islands, Paul Wilson, at his residence in Majuro. The event was attended by representatives of the Marshall Islands Government. ABC International Head Claire M. Gorman said: 'The completion of the ABC Radio Australia FM transmission expansion project has been a landmark success – allowing the network to significantly grow its reach and listenership across the Pacific. In the 85 years since ABC Radio Australia first broadcast across the region, the network has undergone significant changes with this latest expansion in transmission sites. This represents the next chapter for ABC Radio Australia, providing new audiences with our slate of trusted news and Pacific-focused radio programming.' ABC Radio Australia Manager Justine Kelly said: 'Across the past two years, our ABC Radio Australia teams have been working incredibly hard to deliver this remarkable project. We are proud to be available across even more locations throughout the Pacific as our talented team of presenters and comprehensive suite of shows, share the incredible stories and voices from across the region. We deliver the latest in breaking news, sports coverage, new music and conversations about culture, the environment, health, faith and science.' WAYS TO LISTEN: Audiences in Majuro can now tune into ABC Radio Australia on 106.7FM. There are multiple ways to listen to ABC Radio Australia across the Pacific – live via internet streaming, through 24-hour FM stations in your area, or by catching up with full episodes on ABC Pacific online.

Radio ratings: 6PR slumps as 96FM triumphs with midday listeners
Nine Radio's Perth station has been hit with a midday slump, with 6PR's morning and afternoon programming dropping listeners. New GFK radio ratings released on Tuesday for the March to May period show 6PR hosts Simon Beaumont and Oliver Peterson both lost 1.2 per cent in their ratings. Overall, the station's weekday audience dropped 0.9 per cent to 6.6 per cent, after a turbulent year, including losing 4.3 per cent of listeners aged 55 to 64 — a key demographic for the station, Both Beaumont and Peterson were shifted as part of a programming overhaul late last year, with Nine's east coast bosses dumping the afternoon's show, forcing the pair to cover the space. Peterson's ratings of 4.5 per cent are now lower than when Nine dumped former host Julie-anne Sprague's show. Once a Drive host from 3pm to 6pm, Peterson was relegated to a 1pm to 5pm shift — now missing out crucial listeners after 5pm. Instead, 6PR now runs sports talkback into the early evening. Across town, ABC Perth saw a rise of 0.6 per cent — lead by new Drive host Gary Adshead, who defected from 6PR late last year, who saw ratings grow to 5.7 per cent, up 1.2 per cent. It follows new ABC managing director Hugh Marks visiting the ABC Perth offices last week, telling staff of a renewed importance of traditional broadcast — such as radio and TV. On the FM dial, after reaching stratospheric highs last survey, Nova dropped 2.3 per cent as a station, while breakfast crew Nat Locke and Shaun McManus were hit with a 2.2 per cent drop, as speculation continues over the absence of the pair's partner Nathan Morris. 96FM maintained a solid midday audience between 9am and 4pm, winning a fifth of the Perth market.
