Trivia[]

  • The broadcaster was first introduced into the Armaverse in Armed Assault. Since then, with the sole exception of ARMA Reforger, the organisation has made an appearance in every other main game in the series alongside spin-off titles (such as in Mobile Ops).
  • AAN's jingles are excerpts of various music tracks from the series:
    • Armed Assault's jingle is titled as "Short: Arma Magna Rock".[19]
    • The jingle in ArmA 2 takes the first six seconds of "01 Street Combat"[20], though it is not actually from ArmA 2 but rather from Armed Assault's soundtrack.
    • Both ArmA 3 and Mobile Ops' version of the jingle is taken from "Stage A: Event Track 01 (Fragmented - Alternative)".[21]
    • The alternate, radio-exclusive variant of ArmA 3's jingle[22][23] is a custom derivative of "Stage C: Event Track 02 (Broken Barricade)".[24] It takes approximately five seconds from full track.
