History edit

The station launched at 17:15 on 16 March 2004 as "104.5 Star FM", with an Adult Contemporary format of "80's, 90's and Today". 104.5 Star FM was commercial free for the first week after launching, before implementing a "Never more than 4 ads in a row" promise. Enrique Iglesias was flown into the station's studios in Erina by helicopter for the launch, along with the inaugural breakfast team of Meshel Laurie and Todd Widdicombe. The first song played on the station was "Not In Love" by Enrique Iglesias.

In 2006, Star 104.5 changed format from Adult Contemporary, to Rock Variety with the position statement of "Star 104.5 Plays Rockstars". The station also had a change in breakfast team with Meshel Laurie leaving the station. Vic Davies and Kim Czosnek joined Todd Widdicombe on the breakfast show.

The "Rockstars" format continued through to 2011, when Star 104.5 moved away from a pure rock format to Adult Hits and adopted the position statement of "The Music We All Love". Throughout this time, Star 104.5 still played Rock Music among other genres.

Current format edit

Star 104.5's current "More Music Variety" format was launched in 2015, with a strong focus on pop music from the 1980's and today.

The station runs many popular promotions such as Katy Perry's $20,000 Superstar Secret, Ed Sheeran's $20,000 Superstar Secret, $50,000 Mystery Words and $50,000 Secret Sound.

Audience reception edit

In the 2017 Gosford radio ratings, for the first time in the station's history, Star 104.5 had the biggest audience in the region with 80,600 weekly listeners aged 10+ tuning in. [1]

In 2023, the most recent radio ratings for the Central Coast saw Star 104.5 again secure the Number 1 position for All People aged 10+, a full 3.4 points ahead of their nearest competitor. [3]
