Hit Western Australia
Hit is an Australian commercial radio station broadcasting to regional areas of Western Australia. Owned and operated by Southern Cross Austereo, the station broadcasts a contemporary hit radio music format with a breakfast show broadcast from studios in Perth.
History
The stations were established between 1997 and 1999, under the Hot FM brand first used in Queensland. In 2004, Hot FM and sister stations RadioWest were sold to Macquarie Regional RadioWorks.Under the ownership of DMG Regional Radio, network stations broadcast a variety of local and networked programming, from network hubs based in Bunbury, Albury and the Gold Coast. Following the merger of Southern Cross Media with Austereo in February 2011, the Hot FM network – along with Sea FM and Star FM regional counterparts – became more closely aligned with the Today Network, including networking programming from 2Day FM in Sydney and Fox FM in Melbourne.
On 15 December 2016, as part of a national brand consolidation by parent company Southern Cross Austereo, the station was merged into the Hit Network.
In 2020, Southern Cross Austereo purchased Red Wave Media from Seven West Media. On 16 March 2020, the Red FM branded frequencies changed its branding to become part of the Hit Network.
Up until December 2024, there was a dedicated regional breakfast show for the regional Hit stations. Since January 2025, the Mix 94.5 breakfast show has been broadcast throughout the state.
