91.9 Sea FM (call sign: 4SEE) is a commercial radio station licensed to, and serving the Sunshine Coast and surrounding areas. It broadcasts on 91.9 MHz on the FM band from its studios in Maroochydore. It is owned by Great Southern Land Media Group, and is sister station to 92.7 Mix FM.
History
In 1995, Sea FM Pty Ltd – later the RG Capital Radio Network – purchased the license of studios of 92.7 Mix FM. The group was successful in launching a second station in the growing Sunshine Coast region. Modelled on its Gold Coast sister station, 91.9 Sea FM was launched on 26 June 1996. In 1998, the two stations moved to purpose-built studios and offices in Maroochydore.
The station was sold to Macquarie Regional RadioWorks in 2004, later Southern Cross Media. Following the merger with Austereo, in 2013 the Australian Communications & Media Authority deemed that Southern Cross Austereo's ownership of stations in both the Brisbane and Sunshine Coast markets breached media diversity laws. The stations were sold to EON Broadcasting headed by Glenn Wheatley in March 2013, with the station retaining a program supply agreement with Southern Cross Austereo.{{cite web | title = Southern Cross Austereo sells Sunshine Coast radio stations | work = Mediaspy | url = http://www.mediaspy.org/2013/03/07/southern-cross-austereo-sell-sunshine-coast-radio-stations/ | date = 7 March 2013 | access-date = 8 March 2013}}[http://www.sunshinecoastdaily.com.au/news/coast-radio-stations-sold-eon-broadcasters/1784337 Coast radio stations sold to EON Broadcasters] Sunshine Coast Daily 8 March 2013[https://www.radiotoday.com.au/breaking-news-glenn-wheatley-buys-sea-fm-a-mix-fm/ Glenn Wheatley buys Sea FM & Mix FM] Mumbrella 7 March 2013
