Mix 104.9 (call sign: 8MIX) is a radio station in Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia. It started broadcasting in 1997 – at the time, sister station Hot 100 was the only commercial radio station in Darwin – and has a relay in the remote town of Katherine (106.9 FM) as well as relays in smaller communities such as Pine Creek, Adelaide River and Bathurst Island.
In November 2021, Mix 104.9, along with other stations owned by Grant Broadcasters, were acquired by the Australian Radio Network. This deal allows Grant's stations, including Mix 104.9, to access ARN's iHeartRadio platform in regional areas. The deal was finalised on 4 January 2022.[1] It was expected Mix 104.9 will integrate with ARN's Pure Gold Network, but will retain its current name according to the press release from ARN.
