4CRB: A Journey Through Time
4CRB embarked on it’s journey in 1984, marking a historic milestone as one of the pioneering radio stations in Australia to secure a community license. Notably, we proudly bear the distinction of being the very first community broadcaster on the Gold Coast.
From our humble beginnings, 4CRB has evolved into a dynamic station that now connects with 82,000 listeners per week (McNair Ingenuity) throughout the Gold Coast, Northern New South Wales, southern Brisbane, and Ipswich regions. Our online presence extends our reach to 55,000 listeners each month through various streaming services.
