KIX Country is a radio network broadcasting in various towns across Australia. Its target demographic is all people who love country music. Kix Country Radio is part of ARN. It is transmitted primarily via narrowcast stations of varying power. All bar three stations operate on the FM band.
The network is programmed out of Bundaberg, Queensland. Technical and engineering support is provided by affiliated local commercial radio stations in or near the broadcast area.
In April 2015, the Hot Country and Top Country branding was replaced by KIX, already used on stations in Queensland and South Australia.
In November 2021, KIX Country, along with other stations owned by Grant Broadcasters, were acquired by the Australian Radio Network. This deal will allow Grant's stations, including KIX Country, to access ARN's iHeartRadio platform in regional areas. The deal was finalized on January 4, 2022. The KIX Country stations in Canberra, Cooma, Goulburn, Jindabyne, and Perth owned by a 50-50 joint venture by Grant and Capital Radio Network are not part of the sale and will remain with Grant. It is unknown how the merger will impact KIX Country in regards to their branding.
