92.5 Triple M Gold (ACMA callsign: 4GLD) is an Australian radio station in Queensland. Owned and operated as part of Southern Cross Austereo's Triple M network, it broadcasts a Mainstream Rock format to Gold Coast, Queensland.

History

[edit]

The radio station was originally 4GG on the AM band, and broadcasting commenced on 30 September 1965, with Frank Warrick reading the first words broadcast.[1]
The station moved to the FM band in 1989 as Triple G – later KROQ, then Gold FM.

In November 2019, 92.5 Gold FM was rebranded Triple M Gold Coast.[2]

In December 2023, Triple M Gold Coast was rebranded to 92.5 Triple M Gold. It was rebranded as a compromise, as to maintain an acknowledgement of its heritage, while keeping it a part of the highly successful, national Triple M brand.[3]
