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 a shared name and owner, each station within the network has its own set of DJs with very little syndicating between stations; only the Drive shift in Sydney and Melbourne is networked 'live to air' (it is later relayed to Adelaide, Brisbane and Perth on delay due to time differences). Other pre-recorded programmes are often played across the network at various times also.
Nova promotes that it 'Sounds Different' by playing a broad mix of contemporary pop, rock, R'n'B and dance music with a promise of 'Never more than 2 ads in a row', however this only applies to paid advertising spots.
