As part of ARN’s portfolio of powerhouse brands, including KIIS, GOLD, and CADA, iHeartCountry enhances ARN’s position as a leader in delivering top-tier country music content. In partnership with KIX Country, ARN is set to offer unrivaled access to both metropolitan and regional audiences, establishing the ultimate destination for country music fans across Australia.
The official launch of iHeartCountry brings an exciting new lineup of hosts, starting with Steve Fitton on Breakfast, followed by Justin Thomson in the Afternoons and Kristof (Chris Sandilands) on Drive.
