Two new stations are launching today, as iHeartRadio Australia announces the arrival of Planet Oz and The Showdown.
Launching just in time for this weekend’s AFL and NRL Grand Finals, The Showdown is a pop-up station that provides a soundtrack to Australia’s biggest sporting events throughout the year. The station will pop-up on iHeartRadio Australia for all major arena events including State of Origin, the Olympics, the World Cup and Commonwealth Games, with a mix of anthemic tracks and songs dedicated to the spirit of competition.
Since 2014, Planet Oz has aired as a dedicated Australian music radio program on Sydney’s KIIS 1065 and Melbourne’s KISS 101.1, and will now also be accessible as a 24/7 digital station hosted by Gordie Waters.
