8HA has been on the air since 2 March 1971, and is the only commercial radio station operating on the medium-wave (i.e. AM) band in the Northern Territory (the only other station to do so, 8DN in Darwin, was shut down in the 1990s).

The current format is a mixture of talk and music, with the positioning statement "The Best Songs Of All Time."

8HA's sister station, Sun 96.9, is based in the same building.
