She now has 64,000 daily listeners in Melbourne, compared to the 94,000 audience she boasted this time last year.

Despite the fall in the number of listeners over the past year, Karvelas slightly increased her audience share in Melbourne and Sydney by 0.1 percentage points over the past three months.
