4GY is an Australian radio station serving the Gympie region. It was opened in November 1941.[2]
The mid 1980s
[edit]During the 1980s, 4GY was using the Wesgo format of latest hits and greatest memories. By the mid 1980s, the Program Director and Music Director was Larry Dwyer and Breakfast announcer Rob Elliott. In August 1986, Chris Elliott joined the station as Morning announcer, after spending two years at 4KQ, and then after 3 months, Rob Elliott left and Chris moved into Breakfast. The station broadcast out of the same building it is in today. Music and commercials were on cart. The production studio was equipped with a large 8-track. 2inch, reel to reel machine.
. The on-air line-up at that time in 1987, consisted of:
| Time | Show name |
|---|---|
| 5:00 am – 9:00 am | Chris Elliott |
| 9:00 am – 12:00 pm | Peter Damiris |
| 12:00 pm – 3:00 pm | Geoff Goodwin |
| 3:00 pm – 6:00 pm | Brett Seeney |
On Friday mornings during this time, Bob Smith from Sears would join Chris Elliott on air between 5am and 6am for a talk program, featuring local information for farmers and a secret sound competition for listeners.
