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:
“It cannot but affect our philosophy favorably to be reminded of these shoals of migratory fishes, of salmon, shad, alewives, marsh-bankers, and others, which penetrate up the innumerable rivers of our coast in the spring, even to the interior lakes, their scales gleaming in the sun; and again, of the fry which in still greater numbers wend their way downward to the sea.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
