Australian Radio Network

From Free net encyclopedia

The Australian Radio Network (ARN) is a network of commercial radio stations. It is a joint venture between Australasian media company APN News & Media and U.S.-based broadcaster Clear Channel Communications.

Programming streams

ARN run two main network streams: the Classic Hits network, which typically plays a range of songs from the 1960s to the 1980s, with limited newer music; and the MIX network, which is a softer, adult contemporary format. Most programming is locally produced, although some programs are syndicated throughout each network.

Other ARN formats exist, such as a Hip Hop, Urban and R&B format on Katoomba-licenced The Edge 96.ONE, which serves most of western Sydney; and an easy listening format on Cruise 1323, formerly Classic Hits network member 5DN. Other joint venture stations, such as 104.7 and Nova 93.7, are members of the other joint venture partner's network.
