Description
Gold 104.3 is Melbourne's classic hits station, running on a licence that began as 3KZ in 1930, moved to FM at the start of 1990 and settled into the Gold brand soon after. The playlist leans on the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s with some 2010s, sold under the current line Just Great Songs, and it is built for singing along rather than for discovery. Breakfast belongs to Christian O'Connell, who arrived from British radio in 2018, with Dave Higgins and Toni Tenaglia later in the day, a dedicated sport slot, and the Jonesy and Amanda show also carried. It is one of the most listened to adult contemporary services in the city.

What we corrected
Nothing. This station's entry matched what its own site says, which is worth recording: a clean check is a result, not an absence of one.
What we found and did not publish
Material that would have made this page fuller, and was refused. A page with five named presenters looks better than a page with none even when the five are a website theme's demonstration content, and the difference is invisible to a reader. So it is recorded here instead.
| What we could have said | Why we did not |
|---|---|
| The "Sales Enquiries" route and the "Advertise with Us" and "Work with us" links | both resolve to arn.com.au, the parent group ARN's own advertising and careers pages, so they are the group's commercial routes rather than the station's listener route; also the Richmond street address given under "Where are we".

If you think something here is wrong
Tell us which fact and what you found instead. Everything above names its source and its date, so a disagreement can be settled by looking rather than argued. Where another site disagrees with us, it is usually because it is repeating a radio directory, and occasionally because we got it wrong. We would like to know which.
Read from the station's own material; this page is generated from the
catalogue as it stands now, so it changes when the research does. Research
current as at 2026.
