History
Resonate Broadcasting was founded in 2008 by Rex Morris and Guy Dobson.[1] Morris was the group Program Director for Austereo's Triple M Network, based in Brisbane, while Dobson was Austereo's CEO. The first acquisitions were of three stations divested by Macquarie Media Group following its purchase of Southern Cross Broadcasting – 3GG Warragul, and 4GC and Hot FM Charters Towers.[2] In July 2012, the stations were joined by two more, with 4LG and West FM in Longreach.[3]
On 31 May 2012, the company acquired three radio stations in Hawaii from Chaparral Broadcasting – KHBC and KIPA in Hilo, and KHWI in Holualoa – through subsidiary Resonate Hawaii, LLC.[4][5] KHBC and KWHI began simulcasting as adult top 40 The Wave @92FM, and in 2013 was joined by alternative rock 102.7 The Beach KTBH-FM.[6]
After an attempted sale to Watermark Media fell through, in February 2015 3GG was acquired by the Capital Radio Network.[7][8] On 30 October 2015, it was announced the company had acquired the assets of Macquarie Regional Radio, a subsidiary of Macquarie Radio Network, thereby adding eight stations to their network in Queensland.[9]
