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

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]
