4BU is an Australian radio station serving the Bundaberg region in Queensland, Australia. It was opened in December 1935.[1]
4BU is a classic hits station playing hit songs from the 1960s right through to the mid-2000s. Owned by ARN, 4BU places strong emphasis on local programming, with its entire daytime lineup broadcast from its Maryborough St studios.
4BU also takes talk programming from 2UE overnight.
In November 2021, 4BU, along with other stations owned by Grant Broadcasters, were acquired by the Australian Radio Network. This deal allows Grant's stations, including 4BU, to access ARN's iHeartRadio platform in regional areas. The deal was finalized on 4 January 2022.[2] It is expected 4BU will integrate with ARN's Pure Gold Network, but will retain its current name according to the press release from ARN.
