Mix 106.3

Mix 106.3 (call sign: 1CBR) is a commercial radio station in Canberra, Australian Capital Territory, operating on FM 106.3 MHz since February 27, 1988. Jointly owned by ARN and Southern Cross Austereo through Canberra FM Radio Pty Ltd, the station broadcasts Adult Contemporary and Hot AC music targeted at listeners aged 35 and over.

Local hosts run the weekday slots. Morning programming centres on Kristen and Nige, followed by local property updates on Cam and Renee’s Real Estate Show and evening trivia. On-air updates cover local news, weather, and traffic across the ACT.

The playlist mixes classic 1980s pop-rock with current hits. Regular rotation features acts such as Queen, INXS, and Pink.

According to GfK Radio 360 surveys, Mix 106.3 holds a strong share of the Canberra market, often securing over 17% of total listeners. People stay tuned mainly for quick local updates, clear traffic reports during peak hours, and hosts who know the region well.

While FM reception across Canberra is clear, peak morning shows carry heavy commercial loads, and the music selection can feel repetitive over a full workday.
