JOY 94.9

What you're hearing on JOY 94.9

JOY 94.9 strives to bring you a unique mix of music from Australia and around the world

Our weekday music is a blend of uplifting, upbeat pop sourced from all corners of the world. 

We'll mix the best of what you might be hearing elsewhere, with something you won't hear anywhere else and we'll throw in a classic from the 70's, 80's, 90's and the naughties as well. 

We'll make sure you're hearing lots of new music during the day, keeping you up to date with many of your favourite artists and many more you'll want to get to know.

As well our Music Director strives to ensure the weekday mix of music meets the criteria set out by the Music Policy, listed below.

You can check out all the music added to the weekday music mix by following our music blog

Our specialist music programs across the grid showcase everything from Country, Urban, Jazz and Alternative through to World Music, acoustic, classical and folk.
