[edit] Programming streams
ARN run two main network streams: the Classic Hits network, which plays a range of songs from the 1960s to the 1980s, with limited newer music; and the MIX network, which is an adult contemporary format. All programming is locally produced.
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 FM 104.7 and Nova 93.7, are co-owned by Austereo and DMG Radio Australia respectively.
In August 2006, ARN launched their first internet-only radio station. PureCountry plays a contemporary country format aimed at country music fans Australia-wide.
