4HI AM is a classic hits-formatted radio station in Emerald, Queensland, owned and operated by Macquarie Regional Radio, following its acquisition of the Smart Radio Group in 2011.

Ownership

4HI is currently owned by Macquarie Regional Radio, a subsidiary of Macquarie Radio Network, after the company acquired the Smart Radio Group in August 2011 at a cost of $6 million. The Macquarie Regional Radio Network is a wholly owned subsidiary of John Singleton's Macquarie Radio Network. 4HI and the other stations on the Macquarie Regional Radio Network throughout regional Queensland are therefore sister stations to Sydney radio station 2GB, which is reflected in on air programming.

However, plans are underway to sell the stations on the Macquarie Regional Radio Network, including 4HI, to comply with ACMA legislation following the merger between the Macquarie Radio Network and Fairfax Media in 2014.

Broadcast area

4HI broadcasts to the greater Central Highland and Coalfields area of Queensland on a total of eleven transmitters, serving various local communities and coal mines in the region.

The station's main three AM transmitters are located in Emerald, Dysart and Moranbah, while the less powerful FM repeaters are located at Clermont, Rolleston, Sojitz Minerva Mine, BMA Blackwater Mine, Blair Athol Mine, Peak Downs Mine, Goonyella North Mine and Goonyella Riverside Mine.

Programming

4HI is a one-announcer station and only broadcasts a limited amount of weekday programming from the station's Emerald studio, including a three-hour breakfast show and an hour-long lunchtime program. There is also sports-themed local programming on 4HI each Saturday morning.

The station relies heavily on nationally syndicated programming from 2GB in Sydney, such as the Ray Hadley Morning Show, the Alan Jones highlights program, the Chris Smith Afternoon Show, Money Matters with Ross Greenwood and the Continuous Call Team.

4HI also airs a networked drive program each weekday afternoon from 3pm which originates from 4HI's sister station in Roma, 4ZR and is broadcast across the Macquarie Regional Radio network.
