Data from Deloitte shows that advertising revenue for commercial radio stations in Australia’s five largest capital cities increased by 5.03 per cent during the first half of 2014-15. Australian Radio Network CEO Ciaran Davis attributes the rise to the defection of radio presenters Kyle and Jackie O. Commonwealth Bank media analyst Alice Bennett says the lower cost of radio advertising compared with TV was a key factor

Preliminary data from audience ratings provider OzTAM indicate that new reality TV show "I’m a ­Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!" has been very successful for Ten Network. It managed a total viewers figure of 1.1999 million on 1 February 2015, despite coverage of the Australian Open Tennis tournament’s finals by rival Seven West Media at the same time. Ten CEO Hamish McLennan says the free-to-air TV group should be given a greater share of the advertising spend by media buyers. Ten is also looking at takeover offers, but 14.99% shareholder Bruce Gordon remains a hurdle

New data from KPMG show that the overall Australian metropolitan free-to-air TV advertising market suffered a 3.04% decline in the first six months of 2014-15, to $A1.5bn. This contrasts with growth a year earlier of 5.01% to $A1.6bn. However that period was marked by the federal election campaign, and Seven West Media chief revenue officer Kurt Burnette argues the slump now is merely cyclical rather than structural. His group lifted its share by 0.66% to 40.4%. Nine Entertainment also gained, while Ten Network saw its share fall from 21.52% to 20.4%

Obesity Policy Coalition members such as the Cancer Council Victoria and the Victorian branch of Diabetes Australia are urging Cricket Australia to abandon corporate sponsorship deals with fast food brands. New research by Wollongong University shows that during three One Day International and two Twenty20 matches as well as the first three days of the Ashes test series in 2014, junk food branding was shown 3,000-plus times in the TV broadcasts. Almost all of this was linked to naming rights sponsor KFC
