History

The stations were established between 1997 and 1999, under the Hot FM brand first used in Queensland. In 2004, Hot FM and sister stations RadioWest were sold to Macquarie Regional RadioWorks.[1]

Under the ownership of DMG Regional Radio, network stations broadcast a variety of local and networked programming, from network hubs based in Bunbury, Albury and the Gold Coast. Following the merger of Southern Cross Media with Austereo in February 2011, the Hot FM network – along with Sea FM and Star FM regional counterparts – became more closely aligned with the Today Network, including networking programming from 2DayFM Sydney and Fox FM Melbourne.

On 15 December 2016, as part of a national brand consolidation by parent company Southern Cross Austereo, the station was merged into the Hit Network.[2]

gollark: Loads do now, flash storage is very fast.
gollark: Actually, I don't think you need an overclocked one.
gollark: Most modern things will.
gollark: It's part of a more complex system, but basically:- Lasers (from Plethora) were on ComputerCraft turtles (robot things), which could fire them in arbitrary directions- The turtles ran a program which connected to a relay-type service I run on my web server, which let them receive commands like "fire at this position" or "fire in this direction"- That relay service passed commands from clients to turtles and the results back to said clients- The Python script connected to the MC server's dynmap (popular service for web maps for Minecraft servers) web API, which, among other things, provides positions of players, and sent commands to fire at the reported position of players.
