RadioLive has taken a big hit in the latest Auckland radio ratings, losing about 40 per cent of its audience.
The talkback station's share of the Auckland market fell from 3.8 per cent to 2.2 per cent, just above the margin of error in the latest Research International six-monthly radio survey of commercial radio.
The city's audience is estimated at 952,000 but the survey does not include Radio New Zealand listeners.
The Radio Network (TRN) scored well with its relaunch of Radio Hauraki and its Classic Hits which went from a 5.4 per cent share of the audience to 6.3 per cent.
Mike Hosking at TRN's Newstalk ZB continues in No 1 spot in Auckland with 17.9 per cent of the commercial radio listeners. But his audience share fell by 1 per cent.
