History

4TAB commenced 1st January 1992. The official opening was conducted on air on 23rd January 1992.

Prior to the licence being bought by the TAB, the station was known as 4IP. It commenced in 1935. Between 1965 and 1977, 4IP had a most successful hit music format in Brisbane, and was aligned with its Melbourne and Sydney cousins 3XY and 2SM. In the 1980s, FM radio started making inroads into 4IP's popularity it changed its callsign to 4IO and adopted a slogan of Radio Ten, then Stereo Ten and later "Light and Easy 1008".

Programming

The station's morning programme "Racing Active" is presented from 8:30am Monday to Friday, and "Select Racing" from 7am on Saturdays and Sundays. The programme features interviews and racing news, as well as previews of race meetings being covered on that day.
