Hot FM (Australian radio network)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hot FM is a Australian radio network, consisting of stations in North and Central Queensland and Western Australia.

The brand was created by DMG Radio Australia, before they sold their regional stations in Macquarie Regional RadioWorks in 2004.

The Sunshine Coast member of the network is not owned by MRR, having sold it in early 2005 to Queensland Media Investments. QMI and Macquarie have arrangements with DMG for the use of the Hot FM brand.

There is also an unrelated Hot FM in Mildura.
