Nova 96.9

Nova 96.9 (call sign: 2SYD) is a commercial radio station operating in Sydney, Australia.

The station is owned by NOVA Entertainment along with sister station, smoothfm 95.3 In 2014 Nova had a 4% share of the Sydney audience on average, which is en par with rival ABC FM.

Kate, Tim & Marty was the highest rated Nova show receiving 2.9% of Sydney's Drive time audience.

[5] One of the driving forces behind the creation of Nova was the growing demographic of youth who were embracing the commercialised anti-pop movement fronted by such artists as Daft Punk and Spiderbait, but for whom Triple J, operated by the publicly funded Australian Broadcasting Corporation, had no commercial incentives to offer.

However, while Triple J has retained its alternative style, Nova has drifted towards a more commercial format.
