On a sunny morning in Melbourne on October 7, 1991, Bob Hawke was Prime Minister of Australia, Everything I Do (I Do It For You) by Bryan Adams was top of the ARIA charts, Terminator 2: Judgement Day was smashing Australian box-office records, and Melbourne’s GOLD104.3 glittered to life. While we’re not actually sure what the weather was like that day, everything else is true. And today Melbourne celebrates GOLD104.3’s milestone 30th birthday!
Gold104.3 are celebrating its 30th birthday with a party that lasts all month long, including the gifting of $30,000 in gold bullion!
GOLD104.3 is responsible for:
- The Christian O’Connell Show – Christian O’Connell, Jack Post and Patrina Jones – airs weekdays from 6 am – 9 am and weeknights from 7 pm.
- Craig “Huggy” Huggins can be heard on-air from 9 am to 12 pm on weekdays.
- Toni Tenaglia can be heard on-air from 12 pm to 3 pm on weekdays.
- Gavin Miller can be heard on-air from 3 pm to 6 pm on weekdays.
- JAM Nation with Jonesy & Amanda airs weeknights from 6 pm.
On the milestone achievement, GOLD104.3 content director, Sue Carter said: “We can’t celebrate 30 years without saying thank you to our listeners.
“They’re family. We’ve kept them company through so many major milestones in their lives, and they’ve been there through many of ours. They tell us when we get it right and they forgive us if we get it wrong. GOLD isn’t our radio station, it’s Melbourne’s station.
ARN’s chief content officer, Duncan Campbell, said: “GOLD104.3 is a much-loved radio station in Melbourne, which is reflected by the consistent, outstanding radio ratings survey results.
“We are really proud of all the dedicated hard-working individuals across the on-air teams, producers, marketers and activations who have made GOLD104.3 so great.
“Their passion is unsurpassed as they continue to deliver outstanding audio every day. This is a day for everyone to celebrate.”
And while it may be their birthday, GOLD104.3 will be sharing the birthday love throughout October offering listeners the chance to win $30K in gold bullion in GOLD104.3’s Birthday Game.
To be in the running for the bullion, listeners simply need to listen to match their own birthday month on air and call 03 9414 1043 to play.
