NOVA Entertainment has unveiled the next phase of their bold Nova FM brand positioning campaign Don’t Think, Just Nova, featuring key Nova on-air talent.

The campaign builds on the success of the 2025 Don’t Think, Just Nova campaign and is designed to amplify Nova Network’s 2026 programming lineup, including the launch of two new shows today on the network: Nova 96.9’s Sydney Breakfast show, Ricki-Lee & Tim and Nova Network’s national Drive show, Fitzy, Wippa & Kate.

Rolling out nationally from today across Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth and Brisbane and featuring key Nova talent from each market, the campaign builds on Nova’s new brand platform, Don’t Think, Just Nova. For this phase, the creative has evolved to hero the Nova Network’s show lineup and position both the brands and the network’s presenters as the antidote to the daily overwhelm and overthinking audiences experience.

As Australia’s favourite radio brand, Nova is using its new positioning to build the live radio category and celebrate its unique ability to provide moments of unprompted joy. Developed in partnership with creative innovation company R/GA, Don’t Think, Just Nova is a reminder that we can take at least one of life’s decisions – namely what to listen to – off your to-do list.

Adam Johnson, NOVA Entertainment’s Chief Growth Officer said, “Our new show lineups gave us a really exciting opportunity to build on the 2025 success of the Don’t Think, Just Nova campaign. The success of the campaign, which saw a marked increase in brand awareness, consideration and – most importantly – audiences, gave us the confidence to use this brand platform in this next phase, bringing our talent together in a bold, fun and visually arresting way.”

NOVA’s Marketing Director Troy Pearce added, “Building on the strong momentum of last year’s Don’t Think, Just Nova campaign, which really cemented spontaneity as the heart of our brand, this next phase demonstrates it in an even more playful and prominent way. Working in partnership with R/GA, we’ve created a campaign that puts our talent front and centre as the antidote to overwhelm. The campaign translates an emotive brand proposition into something tangible at a show level.”

Rachel Blacklaws, Creative Director at R/GA said, “Because brands are built over time, we relished the opportunity to tackle our second campaign for the Don’t Think, Just Nova platform with a truly ‘product’ centric interpretation of the brand campaign. Uniquely, this isn’t a campaign about telling people what to think. It’s about reminding them how good it feels not to.”

Nova will be going to market with a phased, multi-channel campaign across a three-month period. Out of Home investment includes digital large format, transit, street furniture and rail replacements. Paid media will be supported by Nova’s owned and social channels, ensuring existing Nova audiences know how to continue engaging with their favourite creators while discovering and trialling Nova’s new shows.

In the lead up to Mardi Gras, rebels and resistance fuel Queer Renegades, a new SBS Audio podcast spotlighting the trailblazers who helped shape Australia’s queer history – stories often overlooked or erased.

Hosted by Iranian-Australian writer and broadcaster Farz Edraki, Queer Renegades challenges the heteronormative lens cast on history, centring the voices of daring trailblazers from the LGBTQ+ community who questioned the status quo and created change.

Timed to launch ahead of Mardi Gras, the series explores stories of queer activism and rebellion, from the legacy of Dykes on Bikes, who act as protectors of the LGBTQ+ community, to newly arrived refugees seeking queer connection, and First Nations artists and curators forging new cultural spaces.

“Let’s be honest – when it comes to history, queer stories are often erased by a default lens we’re rarely challenged to question,” said Edraki.

“The truth is, queer people exist in every culture, and shared queer identity can connect deeply diverse lives – there are incredible stories of camaraderie and bravery. People who have stood up to the status quo and made change possible. We want to highlight these people and their stories.”

David Hua, Director of Audio and Language Content at SBS said, “Australia offers comparatively greater freedom for many LGBTQ+ people, but that didn’t happen by accident. Queer Renegades creates space to hear from those who shaped it, lived it, and continue to challenge it.

“At SBS we’re here to champion the voices and stories we hear least, amplifying lived experiences and perspectives to build belonging, connection, and pride.”

Each episodes marks a key moment of activism – whether an event, moment or individual. Featured trailblazers include:

• Jonny Hawkins AKA Aunty Jonny: Prolific multi-disciplinary artist and true believer of the dancefloor; 
• Jacobin ‘Jack’ Bosman: PhD Candidate and Graduate Researcher Academic Associate at the University of Melbourne; 
• Renee Dixon: Co-Founder and Executive Director of the Forcibly Displaced People Network; 
• 78er Ken Davis and Sister Claire Nolan head of nursing at Sydney’s St Vincent’s Hospital during the HIV/AIDS epidemic; 
• Ben Graetz: Co-Festival Creative Director for Sydney World Pride 2023; 
• Xander Khoury: Father of House of Silky, a ballroom collective based in Western Sydney; 
• Kendal Walton: President of Sydney Dykes on Bikes; 
• Glenn McNamara: Co-owner of Sauna X in Sydney; 
• Sam Lewis: President of the Flying Bats Football club, the biggest LGBTQIA+ women’s and non-binary football club in the world;
• Carlie Henderson: Executive member of the Parents for Trans Youth Equity. 

The eight episodes of Queer Renegades will drop weekly from the 11^th of February 2026. Listen on the SBS Audio App, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube, LiSTNR, SBS On Demand or wherever you stream your podcasts.

ABC International has continued to strengthen its regional partnerships in 2026, signing Memorandums of Understanding (MoU) with broadcasters and media organisations in Malaysia, Mongolia and Timor-Leste.

Under the successful program which began in 2022, ABC International has signed 23 similar agreements with leading media organisations in Asia and the Pacific which focus on opportunities to share content, exchange expertise and knowledge, and undertake technical training and media development initiatives. 

In the latest round of agreements, ABC International formalised tailored agreements with Timor-Leste’s public service news agency Tatoli, Mongolian National Broadcaster (MNB) and Malaysian state broadcaster Sarawak Media Group (SMG). 

The MoUs with MNB and SMG facilitate opportunities for content sharing of news and current affairs, factual, sports and lifestyle programming, in addition to the exchange of technical advice and information, while the Tatoli agreement also includes provisions for ongoing collaboration with ABC International’s media development arm, ABC International Development, which has worked closely with Tatoli in recent years in launching an English-language news service and other capacity building initiatives. 

ABC International Head Claire M. Gorman said, “ABC International has worked tirelessly over the past four years to fortify our relationships with like-minded, regional partners and formalise tailored agreements with them. Each MoU establishes a framework for collaboration across areas such as content and information sharing, and media capacity building, and in doing so, brings new opportunities for meaningful engagement.

“We are proud to announce these latest agreements with Tatoli, MNB and SMG, and look forward to the emerging possibilities for closer collaboration and how we can best work together to support and serve our respective audiences through these partnerships.”

The ABC has also recently renewed its partnership with Canadian national broadcaster CBC/Radio-Canada, signing an updated MoU to support content and distribution-related initiatives, including the development of a new children’s co-production It’s Andrew! set to premiere in Australia in 2026.

After an extraordinary 25 years behind the mic on Afternoons, James Valentine will farewell 702 ABC Radio Sydney with a special two‑hour retrospective program this Friday afternoon.

“I won’t be coming back this year to the microphone and the Afternoons program” James said “it’s time for me to retire”.

“This decision has been hard for me to make but I need to focus on getting better and  being with family and friends and making sure I’m giving my health my best shot.”

“This coming Friday, Jen Fleming, long-time producer of the program and myself want to present a retrospective; the best of Afternoons, to capture what we’ve made in those 25 years.” James said as he announced the program on Monday.

Across the week, James’ loyal audience is invited to share favourite memories, moments and stories on the 702 ABC Radio Sydney Facebook page. These will be reflected on during Friday’s special broadcast as the station celebrates the legacy of one of its most loved presenters.

ABC Managing Director Hugh Marks said James’ contribution to the ABC has been remarkable and enduring. “James is one of the great creative forces in Australian broadcasting.

“He has an extraordinary gift for turning everyday moments into joyful, smart and surprising radio, and the connection he has built with his audience over decades simply cannot be overstated.

“We’re proud to celebrate everything he has brought to the ABC, and we wish him strength and support as he focuses on his health.”

James began his media career in the mid‑1980s, hosting cartoons on ABC TV’s The Afternoon Show. He went on to work across several ABC television programs before moving into radio at 666 ABC Radio Canberra. He then moved onto the Mornings program in Sydney.

In 2001, James found what he describes as his true home at the ABC when he began presenting Afternoons on 702 ABC Radio Sydney, then known as 2BL. He has held the role for more than two decades, with a brief detour presenting Breakfast in 2022 and 2023. In 2024, James announced he would be stepping away from the program to receive treatment for oesophageal cancer.

The James Valentine Afternoons: Retrospective special program will air on 702 ABC Radio Sydney at 12.30pm AEDT on Friday 6 February, and across NSW at 1.30pm.

James will also step away from his ABC Jazz program Upbeat, where he has shared his passion for jazz with audiences since the program launched in 2020.
