ABC finishes 2023 on top of digital live streaming

ABC continues to be #1 in digital live streaming in GfK survey 8, recording a 26% share of live streaming. The ABC has held the number 1 position since it became a standalone GfK measure in survey 3 earlier this year.

The ABC’s internal measures recorded a total of 6.5M live and on demand streams across ABC platforms over the survey period.

This survey also saw ABC Adelaide audiences tune in to farewell Peter Goers who hung up his mic in November after 20 years as presenter of Evenings. The station had a strong survey across the board with Evenings a clear standout, jumping from a 7.7% share to 12.4%.

The result on digital live streaming follows our first appearance on the Triton Australian Podcast Ranker where the ABC debuted as the number 3 Australian podcast publisher with 33 of our titles appearing in the top 200 ranked podcasts for November.

ABC Head of Audio Ben Latimer said: “I’m proud to see the ABC finish the year reaching 4.9 million people per week across our linear network and reaching millions more as the unchallenged number 1 live streaming network.”

“The local radio teams and I are excited about the line ups for 2024. We’re investing more in our local radio network than we have in years starting with a coordinated brand campaign across the ABC over summer.”
