ARN, a privately-owned company headquartered in the UAE, was founded in 2001 and employs approximately 330 individuals. Functioning as a tier 1 media tech buyer, the company's core operations include broadcast television and radio, specifically managing a multilingual radio network in Dubai, and it also operates an advertising subsidiary named MPN.
On April 30, 2026, ARN celebrated Hylton Nesbitt's 20 years of service to the company. Previously, on April 23, ARN announced it is in "full rebuild mode," with Kerri Elstub and Dave Cameron, working together for six weeks, aligning on the company's future strategy. This follows legal developments on April 22, when ARN countersued former hosts Kyle and Jackie O for lost advertising revenue and a $3 million "thank you note" signing bonus. The parent company of KIIS FM claimed the controversial pair cost it key advertising revenue through their sacking, while the former hosts are seeking the full payout of their 10-year, $100 million contracts, which they signed in late 2023.
