Proving yet again that controversy is no bar to victory, the latest round of radio ratings - Survey 4 for the year - have been released, with two of our more notorious shock jocks taking out the number one place in the coveted breakfast arena.

On AM, 2GB’s Alan Jones was the Sydney brekkie winner, gaining 1.4 points to an 18.5 per cent share of the audience, while on FM first place went to 2Day FM’s Kyle Sandilands, up 0.7 to 10.5 per cent.

Both broadcasters are in trouble again right now, with Jones last week told off by the Australian Communications and Media Authority over inaccurate climate change figures (although they didn’t seem to mind him suggesting the PM be put in a chaff bag and thrown in the sea) and Sandilands still under ACMA investigation for his description of a Pakistani child born with extra limbs as ‘‘The Spider Baby’’.

The biggest winner this survey was WSFM, a station that started the year giving a 2.2 per cent lead to 2DayFM has moved to within 0.4 percent of the FM market leader. WSFM Breakfast team Jonesy and Amanda had yet another rise, up a further 0.7 per cent to 9.7 following a 1.3 per cent rise last survey, to cement second place on FM breakfast.
