[edit] Programming

The network's stations are aimed at the under 35's section of the market, playing Top 40 and popular music. For most stations, the only local programme heard on these stations is the breakfast programme, all other programming is done from Albury or the Gold Coast.

In 2007, Star FM Dubbo broke away from regular programming on Saturday and Sundays for a national NRL Rugby League programme with the 'Hot Hits' and 'Wild Revolution' delayed by 2 hours in Dubbo.

Star FM Albury takes a Triple M AFL Football feed Saturdays and Sundays between midday and 6pm. From 6pm, Albury returns to regular network programming.

In 2007, Star FM changed it's major positioning statement from "Todays Best Music" to "Your HIT Music Station"
