Mark Hine has been appointed Content Director of ARN stations 91.1 Hot FM and Zinc 96 on the Sunshine Coast. He shifts from the same network role with Star 102.7 and 4CA in Cairns.
Mark, for 18 years, was co-host of the Brisbane breakfast show Laurel, Gary & Mark on 4KQ and briefly 4BC. He had also been part of a Classic Conversations podcast featuring his former breakfast team mates Laurel Edwards and Gary Clare but that appears to have wrapped up in January.
Mark is also a long-time ground announcer for the Brisbane Lions.
Rod Winner, General Manager, 91.1 Hot FM & Zinc 96, said:
“The Sunshine Coast, Gympie, Noosa & the Cooloola Coast’s favourite radio stations are in great hands under the guidance of Mark. His incredible experiences in working with and developing on-air personalities will ensure the listeners and advertisers alike will continue to be closely connected to their communities through 91.1 Hot FM & Zinc 96.”
Mark Hine, Incoming Content Director 91.1 Hot FM & Zinc96 said:
“I’m beyond excited to be welcomed into the Sunshine Coast team and I’m really looking forward to working alongside some great radio people. It’s bittersweet to be leaving Cairns, but I hear the Sunny Coast has less stingers and crocodiles.”
In the last Xtra Insights survey of the region Hot FM was leapfrogged into third place by the two Great Southern Land Media Group stations MIX FM and SEA FM.
Mark commences June 1.
