A New Era for Adelaide: GOLD1323 Launches

At 12:00AM this morning, Adelaide’s Cruise1323 ceased to exist, and transformed into GOLD1323, aligning the station with the rest of the GOLD Network.

The rebrand was highly anticipated, with ARN announcing the changes almost a year ago, at the 2026 Upfronts. You’d be forgiven if you didn’t think it was happening, the launch has been dubbed as “the most quiet”, with little to no marketing.

As listed on the GOLD1323 website, Craig Huggins still presenting Breakfast from Melbourne, and Bilko hosting afternoons from the Sunshine Coast, as well as The Christian O’Connell Show airing weeknights from 5-6PM.

Jonesy & Amanda will join the On Air Lineup, bringing their National Drive Show to the station. GOLD Sport will also debut on the station on Monday and Friday’s, from 6-7PM.

Sue Carter, Head of GOLD Network Content, said: “GOLD is one of Australia’s most recognisable radio brands, so bringing Cruise into the GOLD Network is a natural next step for the station.“

“Listeners will continue to hear the Classic Hits they know and love, while benefiting from great content including Jonesy & Amanda, The Christian O’Connell Show and GOLD Sport with Eddie & Abbey.“

“We’re excited about the opportunities this creates for both audiences and advertisers in Adelaide.”
