Nova

Nova doesn't pretend to be anything other than a full-throttle pop machine. It owns that identity. Turn on Nova live mid-afternoon and you'll catch Kylie Minogue's 'Padam Padam' segued into Troye Sivan's latest. The playlist is relentless - no side tracks, just hit after hit. Everything streams crisp at 320kbps. The breakfast crew chat enough to keep things lively, but the music blocks are where Nova shines. For pop radio Australia, it's the defining voice. Maybe too predictable for adventurous ears, but that's not the audience. The station knows its lane and stays in it. Listen to Nova online…
