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, and are 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 the Drive shift in Sydney and Melbourne and a national Top 40 Charts show are networked 'live to air'.
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'. There are however very many ads integrated into the regular DJs' talks and "fake" quiz's that really just are ads.[POV]
