Local community radio
on the Sunshine Coast.
From Caloundra to Noosa and across the hinterland, more people listen to 104.9 Sunshine FM than any other radio station on the Sunshine Coast… at home, at work, in the car, on the radio, via our website and the free iHeart Radio app.
We play the widest variety of hit music and talk to local people across the Sunshine Coast. No other radio station does what we do.
More music. More memories. More often. On the Sunshine Coast’s radio station. Sunshine FM.
