Capital Radio Network is an Australian broadcasting company that owns radio stations across Canberra, Goulburn, Cooma, the Snowy Mountains region, Gippsland, and Perth. Functioning as a subsidiary under the Blyton Group, it is managed by Kevin James Blyton, who serves as the managing director. The network's early asset acquisitions consisted of 2XL (currently known as XLFM) in the Snowy Mountains area, along with 2CC and 2CA in Canberra. These Canberra stations were purchased from Australian Radio Network and Austereo to facilitate the launch of their collaborative stations 104.7 and Mix 106.3.

In February 2015, Capital Radio Network broadened its portfolio by purchasing Gippsland's 3GG. Apart from XLFM, Snow FM, and 3GG, the remainder of the stations are managed through an equal partnership with Grant Broadcasters.
