History
Focusing on contemporary hit radio, KIIS 97.3 features current popular tracks alongside a selection of hits from the 2010s and some from the 2000s, aiming primarily at listeners aged 25 to 54—a demographic highly sought after by advertisers. As part of the KIIS Network, Brisbane's 97.3 FM is affiliated with sister stations in key Australian markets including KIIS 106.5 Sydney, KIIS 101.1 Melbourne, Mix 102.3 Adelaide, and 96FM Perth. In January 2015, the station underwent a rebranding effort introducing a refreshed logo consistent with its network counterparts.
With the rollout of DAB AAC+ Digital Radio in Brisbane, both 97.3 FM and its sister station Classic Hits 4KQ expanded their presence to digital platforms. ARN also launched "The Edge Digital," a digital iteration of its Western Sydney outlet Edge 96.1.
The station relocated its main operations to Milton, Queensland in May 2019 following ARN's decision to move both 97.3 FM and 4KQ from Stones Corner.
Initially known as 97.3fm, the station adopted the KIIS 97.3 brand on 24 January 2022, featuring a logo design similar to those used by KIIS Sydney and Melbourne but highlighting the frequency prominently. The Hot AC music format remained unchanged. By December 2022, the branding fully matched the standard KIIS visual identity employed across other major cities.
In March 2024, ARN revealed changes to daytime programming: Gordie Waters would begin hosting shows networked from Sydney to both KIIS Melbourne and Brisbane starting in April, taking over from Jess Miller who exited on April 5.
In November 2024, Corey Oates was announced as the third co-host for the breakfast program, prompting a renaming of the show to "Robin and Kip, now with Corey Oates in the Morning."
