About Triple M Goldfields 981
Triple M Goldfields 981 is one of the Goldfields-Esperance region's oldest institutions: 6KG commenced broadcasting from Kalgoorlie in 1931, serving the gold-mining city that grew up on the Golden Mile. Nearly a century later the licence still transmits on 981 kHz at 2 kW.
Like its WA regional siblings, the station passed through the Radio West, Redwave and Spirit network eras before Southern Cross Austereo brought it into the Triple M rock family in 2020. Programming now follows the network's rock and classic hits pattern, with local news and information for Kalgoorlie-Boulder and the surrounding mining settlements.
English-language and gold-country local, the station streams free online - Kalgoorlie radio to listen live from the Super Pit to anywhere in the world. Its alumni include broadcaster Russell Woolf, who cut his teeth in the Goldfields before becoming a beloved Perth voice, a reminder of how far a desert radio licence can travel.
