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 July 12, 2026, Vic Lorusso ceased his 26-year tenure as an on-air traffic reporter for ARN's radio stations, transitioning to the Southern Cross Austereo network for 2DayFM and Triple M Sydney. Lorusso will maintain his roles as CEO of ATN and global chief of GTN, which will continue supplying traffic reports to clients including ARN, though not voiced by him. Previously, on May 20, ARN strengthened its leadership with two senior appointments as it evolves into an entertainment business, naming Scott Lyons as Director of Strategy and Janine Chambers as Head of Commercial Finance. This followed ARN's May 18 signing of broadcasters Karl Stefanovic and Eddie McGuire for a new weekly program, which will air across ARN's Gold network and stream on iHeart, 9Now, and Stan. Earlier, on May 17, ARN's iHeart and Magellan AI quarterly report revealed that travel retail and finance categories drove investment in the Australian podcast industry during the first quarter of 2026, with Airbnb leading as the top podcast advertiser.
