90.3 and 95.3 ABC Coast FM is an ABC Local Radio station based in Maroochydore. The station broadcasts to the Sunshine Coast region of Queensland. This includes the towns of Nambour, Caloundra, Noosa and Gympie.
It was originally set-up to target the youth market and broadcast to the Sunshine Coast from a studio at 612 ABC Brisbane. The station is now a news, current affairs and adult contemporary music station.
Unlike most other ABC Local stations outside the capital cities, ABC Coast FM originates most of its own programming and has a higher music content.
Famous quotes containing the word coast:
“Forced from home, and all its pleasures,
Afric’s coast I left forlorn;
To increase a stranger’s treasures,
O’er the raging billows borne.
Men from England bought and sold me,
Paid my price in paltry gold;
But, though theirs they have enroll’d me,
Minds are never to be sold.”
—William Cowper (1731–1800)
