Nova Fresh Country now on DAB+ in Brisbane

NOVA Entertainment’s streaming station Nova Fresh Country is now being made available on DAB+ digital radio in Brisbane.

Nova says that since making its streaming debut on the Nova Player in June 2024, Nova Fresh Country has experienced remarkable growth, becoming a go-to destination for fans of chart-topping global country stars like Luke Combs, Morgan Wallen and Lainey Wilson, rising names such as Bailey Zimmerman and Jelly Roll, and the best homegrown Aussie talent.

Scott Baker-Smith, Head of Music at Nova Network, said: “The response to Nova Fresh Country since its launch has been amazing. Country music has blended into the Nova playlists for some time now, with artists pushing the boundaries and redefining what both pop and country sound like today. That’s exactly why we created Nova Fresh Country; to give fans a dedicated space for the country music they love, while reflecting how the genre is evolving. If you enjoy the country songs you hear on the Nova Network, you’ll love Nova Fresh Country.”

Nova says this shift reflects a broader global trend, with country music increasingly influencing the sound of mainstream pop.

Artists like Post Malone, Beyoncé and Miley Cyrus have all recently embraced the genre, while even The Wiggles have released a country album, an indication of just how deeply country has permeated pop culture.

Nova Fresh Country is Nova’s response to this cultural shift, giving listeners a space to enjoy country in all its forms.

It’s the latest in a line of Nova streaming and DAB+ stations including Nova Nation, Nova Throwbacks and Nova 90s.
