“The 2011 festival was broadcast in America to an overwhelming response on more than 800 radio stations across the Clear Channel Network. (Clear Channel is a 50% shareholder in ARN.) ARN are now thrilled to bring this content exclusively to Australian audiences”

“With the popularity of On air with Ryan Seacrest that airs nationally on the MIX network, we know our audiences enjoy relevant content from the US and this highlights ARN’s capacity to deliver strong, unique content to our audiences on multiple platforms.”
