Nova (radio network)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nova is a name given to a group of Australian radio stations. The group comprises five stations all owned by DMG Radio Australia, apart from the Perth station, which is a joint venture between DMG Radio and the Australian Radio Network.
Apart from the name and owner, the group is not a network in the traditional sense. Each station has its own set of DJs with very little syndicating between stations; only a national Top 40 Charts show and the Drive shift in Sydney and Melbourne are networked 'live to air' (the Drive show is later relayed to Adelaide and Perth on delay due to time differences).
Nova promotes that it 'Sounds Different' by playing a broad mix of contemporary pop, rock, RnB and dance music with a promise of 'Never more than 2 ads in a row', however this only applies to paid advertising spots.
The Nova stations are:
- Nova 96.9 Sydney (96.9 MHz; Callsign 2SYD) - started April 2001
- Nova 100 Melbourne (100.3 MHz; Callsign 3MEL) - started December 2001 (first new commercial station in 21 years)
- Nova 93.7 Perth (93.7 MHz; Callsign 6PER) - started November 2002 (first new commercial station in 22 years)
- Nova 91.9 Adelaide (91.9 MHz; Callsign 5ADL) - started August 2004 (first new commercial station in 24 years)
- Nova 106.9 Brisbane (106.9 MHz; Callsign 4BNE) - started April 2005 (first new commercial station in 12 months)
