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.
Questions arose on March 19 regarding the delayed release of ARN's radio ratings results. Earlier the same day, rumors gained traction that Kyle Sandilands, recently terminated by the network, plans to use half of his fortune to purchase ARN. This speculation followed an analysis on March 18 of the trends from Australian Radio Survey 1 for 2026. On March 18, ARN faced significant trouble in Sydney, with stations KIIS 106.5 and Gold 101.7 (formerly WSFM) hemorrhaging listeners in the first ratings of 2026. This development came shortly after ARN terminated Kyle Sandilands' $100 million contract at midnight on March 18, citing his failure to rectify "serious misconduct" against co-host Jackie "O" Henderson by a two-week deadline.
