MIX 106.3 has maintained its spot as the ACT's most popular radio station, taking a shared lead alongside ABC Canberra in the hotly contested breakfast slot.
ABC Canberra dropped slightly from 18.7 per cent of the morning audience to 16.6 per cent, with the same proportion tuning in to Kristen and Nige on MIX 106.3.
Kristen Davidson and Nige Johnson brought the breakfast ratings up for the station once again following Ms Davidson's maternity leave.
MIX 106.3 lead the ratings across all slots, however, more Canberrans still kept the ABC on into the evenings. Despite maintaining the night-time crowd, five per cent of the ABC Canberra audience went elsewhere in the evenings from March 1 to June 18.
Pat Griffin continued to bring in the ratings for MIX 106.3, with 23.8 per cent of radio listeners tuning in to him between 12-4pm.
Trailing closely behind in the afternoon ratings was HIT 104.7 which continued to climb after a massive tumble during a recent reporting period.

While not a big enough increase to take top spot in any slot, HIT 104.7 reached more people than it previously had during every slot throughout the week day. However, it's ratings slipped quite substantially in the evenings and slightly on the weekend.
With both MIX 106.3 and HIT 104.7 under its umbrella, Canberra FM Radio attract a majority of younger listeners and a significant share of the entire radio audience.
Content director Rod Cuddihy said the most recent ratings meant a good day for both its stations.
"Kristen, Nige, Pat, Wilko and Courtz are all number one in Canberra which is an extraordinary result for MIX 106.3," Mr Cuddihy said.
"Ned and Josh have led really strong growth across breaky, work day and drive, reconfirming 104.7 as Canberra's number one station for people under 40."
