Nova 93.7 (call sign: 6PER) is a commercial radio station in Perth, Western Australia. It is jointly owned by Nova Entertainment and ARN Media.
History
[edit | edit source]In February 2002 Nova Entertainment and ARN Media purchased a FM licence from the Australian Broadcasting Authority for A$25 million,[1][failed verification][2] equivalent to A$41 in 2022. Nova 93.7 commenced broadcasting at 3 pm on 5 December 2002 with presenter Tim Blackwell, playing the Red Hot Chili Peppers' Can't Stop.
Nova 93.7 is only the second commercial FM radio station in Perth to not have previously been an AM station. The first was ARN's 96fm.
Controversies

Rigged competition
[edit | edit source]In April 2010, announcer Hans Bruechle tipped off his friend Ashlea Reid when he was about to play the secret song. The radio station was alerted to the rigging by a friend of both Reid and Bruechle. Following the incident Nova gave the prize to youth suicide prevention charity Youth Focus and Bruechle was fired.[3]
