Breakfast trio suffer huge drop in latest radio figures
Nova FM and 96FM both recorded drops in their audience share of more than two percentage points, in the latest radio ratings out on Tuesday.
The biggest change from the latest GFK ratings report — covering the period from April to July — was Nova's breakfast trio Nathan Morris, Nat Locke and Shaun McManus' four per cent drop in audience to 15.5 per cent.
The FM station recorded drops across all its daytime programming, as did 96FM, which still held its rank as Perth's most listened to radio station.

Morris revealed near the beginning of this ratings cycle the reasons for a protracted absence from the airwaves in May after three month off, explaining he had been dealing with some 'legal issues'.
'Something happened in my personal life that was one of these monumental things that happens that you can't really process,' he said.
'Something comes in that's so different no one has gone through it, no one can give you advice.
'It started back last year and reared again this year. I can't speak too much about it because there is legal proceedings that's got nothing to do with me but I cannot speak about it because of that.'

Over on the AM band, ABC radio remained steady, with small drops in audience share after growing most of this year.
Breakfast host Mark Gibson dropped 0.2 per cent, while Afternoons' Jo Trilling saw her audience fall to 3.6 per cent, the lowest point so far this year.
6PR defector and new ABC Drive host Gary Adshead grew his share by 0.3 per cent, consolidating his late afternoon time slot.
While 6PR's breakfast duo of Steve Mills and Karl Langdon were hit by a near 1 percentage point fall in their share to 8.3 per cent, Mornings host Simon Beaumont recorded a rise of 1.6 per cent to 8.3 per cent

'Magic': The $5 Bunnings item Australians just can't get enough of
A US based cleaning expert has detailed a new hack to clean her trainers, and it is found in the aisles of a titan of Australian retail. Caroline Solomon shares cleaning content to her social media channels, including a thread of videos that have show her trying to clean dirty trainers. A But there is one video that she has posted which has led to a popular product sold in Australia repurposed as a cleaner for dirty trainers. 'I'm sharing two easy ways to make your white leather sneakers look brand new again,' Caroline said at the start of the video that she posted to her TikTok. 'The first thing you need of course is a Magic Eraser,' she told her followers on the video sharing sight. In Australia, the item in question is sold as a Mr Clean Eraser pad for $4.98, or a four pack which sells for $7.49. Caroline explained the method to clean dirty white sneakers with the Magic Eraser, starting by first running the melamine sponge under water to get it 'damp, but not soaked'. Then, she demonstrated gently scrubbing the foam block along both 'the sneaker and the rubber sole of the shoe'. The result? Instantly refreshed looking sneakers. Commentators were quick to praise the self-styled home guru. 'This worked for me,' read one reply. Another read 'I cut mine in half to get more use out of them that way! They get worn faster when wet so I also only wet half of sponge.' On the Bunnings website, the Mr Clean Eraser Pod Block has a 4.9 stars rating, with many reviews raving about how it 'works great' to remove scuffs and marks from walls and floors. However, none of the reviews made mention of its bonus use to clean up dirty sneakers.
