Sandilands wins back radio audience

Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O have raised the audience numbers for their 2DayFM radio show for the first time since their on-air 'rape row'.

Sandilands, who came under fire after he and his co-host grilled a teenage rape victim live on air, returned to his job in October after being suspended.

The latest Nielsen radio ratings survey has shown that their breakfast show recorded the largest gains in listeners after a period when they lost an audience of about 35,000 people.

Nova 969's Merrick and Rosso, who co-present their show with ex-Home and Away star Kate Ritchie, have also raised their viewing figures.
