Carrie Bickmore and Tommy Little have secured an incredible milestone with their radio show in the Melbourne market.
The duo’s Carrie and Tommy show on Fox FM managed to hold the top spot as the number one drive time show on the latest radio ratings survey in a huge feat.
Their show ranked narrowly ahead of Gold FM’s Dave ‘Higgo’ Higgins by a mere 0.1 point, winning an audience share of 10.6.
Carrie, 43, and Tommy, 39, took to Instagram to share a post thanking their fans for their loyalty as they celebrated the achievement.
Posting a photo of themselves posing together in front of a giant ‘number one’ they captioned the picture: ‘Thank you for making us Australia’s number one Drive Show Again. Much love to you all.’

However, the pair failed to see the same success on the Brisbane market where they were beaten by Nova’s Ricki-Lee, Tim and Joel Show.
The Nova program managed to secure an audience share of 14.5 against Carrie and Tommy’s 14.3 in a narrow victory over the station.
Meanwhile in the breakfast radio ratings, KIIS FM’s Kyle And Jackie O Show’s debut in the Melbourne market seemingly suffered a shaky start.
The KIIS FM breakfast show’s share dropped 0.5 points in the latest radio ratings survey in Victoria, dipping from 6.4 to 5.9 per cent.

But the Kyle And Jackie O Show only launched in Melbourne on April 29, meaning its listenership is considered for a mere three weeks out of the 11-week survey period.
KIIS FM bosses remain optimistic about the future of Kyle And Jackie O’s Victorian expansion as they said it was too early to get a real idea of how the show is doing.
‘It’s still too soon to get a true idea of the impact of The Kyle & Jackie O Show in Melbourne given they were only on air for three of the 10 weeks surveyed,’ Duncan Campbell, chief of KIIS parent company ARN, told The Daily Telegraph.
Meanwhile, rival breakfast show Nova’s Jase and Lauren, who were axed by KIIS at the end of 2023 to make way for Kyle And Jackie O, grew their market share by 0.4 points to 8.7.
Fox’s Fifi, Fev and Nick once again gained their 12th consecutive win as Melbourne’s most listened to breakfast show.

Carrie recently poked fun at Tommy’s tumultuous relationship history and his ‘small package’ as she didn’t hold back during a comedy roast.
‘On his way to the theatre tonight, a female security guard patted him down, which is one of the longer relationships he has had,’ she joked.
‘Tommy Little has the biggest heart which makes up for the fact that he has a small everything else, including his package.
‘His salary package, of course. I earn like four times what he does. There’s absolutely no joke there. I just thought it’s worth you all knowing.’
