Mix 104.9 (call sign: 8MIX) is a radio station in Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia. It started broadcasting in 1997 - at the time, sister station Hot 100 was the only commercial radio station in Darwin - and has a relay in the remote town of Katherine (106.9 FM) as well as relays in smaller communities such as Pine Creek, Northern Territory, Adelaide River, Northern Territory and Bathurst Island, Northern Territory north of Darwin.
