Gold is a commercial radio station based in Bendigo and Central Victoria though licensed for the Maryborough market. It is currently part of Grant Broadcasters. Formerly branded as Easymix, the station broadcasts across areas of Central Victoria including Bendigo, Ballarat, Maryborough, Castlemaine and Daylesford on 1071 AM. Gold also broadcasts on 98.3 FM which covers a 10-15 kilometre radius of the Bendigo region. Gold's 1071 frequency began in 1938 as 3CV though Gold was never technically 3CV, a title relinquished when 3CV was given a section 39 supplementary FM licence and became Star FM, now known as Hit 91.9. Gold rebranded from Easymix which was rebranded from Easy Listening after the owner of 3BO FM and 3CV (now Hit 91.9) sold off its 1071 AM service, deciding to keep the section 39 supplementary FM licence.

In the most recent audited radio survey for the region, it rated around 6.5% of the market, compared to Triple M Bendigo and Hit 91.9 Bendigo commanding a combined audience of around 45%.
