Gold 104.3, Australian radio station
Gold 104.3 is a radio station in Melbourne, Victoria, broadcasting on 104.3 MHz FM with a mix of pop music from the 1970s through the 2010s. It operates from the Pelaco Building in Richmond, with presenters including Christian O'Connell leading a lineup of daytime and evening shows.
The station began in 1930 as 3KZ on AM frequencies, then moved to FM in 1990 and took on the Gold name in 1991 with a focus on classic hits. That long history makes it one of Melbourne's longest-running broadcasters.
The name Gold refers to the familiar hits the station plays, evoking memories for listeners of different generations. The presenters speak in a relaxed, conversational tone that feels closer to a chat than a formal broadcast.
You can tune in on 104.3 MHz FM or stream the station online through its website or the iHeartRadio app. Programming changes throughout the day, so the shows you hear in the morning will be different from those in the afternoon or evening.
The station was originally founded by a workers group and broadcast from the Victorian Trades Hall before becoming a commercial operation. Few radio stations in Australia share that kind of connection to the labor movement, making its origins stand out among Melbourne broadcasters.
