Another gem from ‘The Radio Vault’.
This is when 4GG on the Gold Coast converted to FM as 4GGG on 20th March 1989, at around the exact same time when rival station 90.9 Sea FM (now hit90.9) launched. It was the first commercial radio station in Australia to convert from AM to FM, in which its first song on FM was none other than “FM (No Static At All)” by Steely Dan, the very same song that launched 96fm in Perth nearly 9 years earlier. Both 4GGG & Sea FM were also the first commercial FM stations in Australia to go to air in a non-capital city market.
4GGG later became KROQ before it was bought by Sea FM (later RG Capital, then MRR, now SCA) in late 1992, in which it was relaunched as Gold 92.5 with an oldies format, and was later evolved into an AC format. On 8th November 2019, it was rebranded as 92.5 Triple M.
