Hot FM

Hot FM was a network of commercial radio stations in regional Australia, primarily targeting younger audiences with a contemporary hit music format. It operated under Southern Cross Austereo, one of Australia's largest media companies. The network was active in multiple regional markets, including Queensland and Western Australia. In 2016, many Hot FM stations were rebranded as part of the Hit Network, aligning them with other metropolitan and regional stations under the same branding. The rebranding aimed to unify the network’s identity and expand its market reach.
