## History

The station was first launched in 2000 by RG Capital as C FM, affiliated with the Sea FM brand used by its sister stations on the Queensland coast. In 2004, C FM and sister station 4GR was sold to Macquarie Regional RadioWorks.
Following the merger of Southern Cross Media, Macquarie Regional RadioWorks' successor, with Austereo in February 2011, the Sea FM network - along with Hot 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 13 November 2013, C FM relaunched as Hot FM. As Hot FM, 4RGD performed well in a ratings survey conducted by Xtra Research in June 2016, winning an average of 31% audience share in all 10+ demographics. According to the survey results, the station also won all but two individual age demographics. The station was beaten in the older 55-64 and 65+ demographics by ABC Southern Queensland.
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.
