Patricia Karvelas’ ABC Radio National show loses more listeners

·

Listeners of ABC Radio National’s flagship program, RN Breakfast, hosted by Patricia Karvelas, have continued to dwindle across Sydney, Melbourne and Perth.

In six out of eight surveys released this year, host Karvelas reported an audience of 70,000 listeners in Sydney, 62,000 in Melbourne, 37,000 in Brisbane, 26,000 in Adelaide, and 24,000 in Perth.

Comparatively, in the same survey last year, she had 85,000 Sydney listeners, 88,000 in Melbourne, 32,000 in Brisbane, 17,000 in Adelaide, and 21,000 in Perth.

This reflects an overall decline of 10.6 percent in her audience over the past year.

In June, ABC Chair Kim Williams expressed his desire for improved audience numbers during an interview with Karvelas, stating, “I would like to see larger audiences for Radio National. I would like to see Radio National lift its ambitions in terms of its role in Australia.”
