There are five major commercial radio broadcasters: Austereo, the Australian Radio Network The Australian Radio Network (ARN) is a network of commercial radio stations.

It is a publicly listed company, majority owned by adman John Singleton. The Chief Executive is Angela Clarke. . All five have established national networks through aggregation. The latest statistics on radio usage patterns include a survey on the commercial radio industry. Although its advertising base is growing, the radio market is losing share to other media sectors such as TV. Over the longer term the eventual introduction of digital radio could further pose a threat to the financial viability of the industry. The recent changes to media ownership and broadcasting regulations in Australia are likely to lead to further consolidation of radio operators and increased cross-media ownership. Competition from within and outside the industry, which is already strong, is predicted to increase.
