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.[citation needed]
