Hot Tomato (call sign: 4HTB) is a radio station (102.9 FM) in Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia.
The current breakfast line-up consists of Sean Flanagan, comedic writer for TV and radio, teamed with Emily-Jade O'Keefe, formerly a presenter at Nova 106.9 and Christo, formerly of The Edge 96ONE, WSFM and Nova, Malcolm Lees, most famous as a member of Club Veg, is partnered with former Sea FM announcers Paul Gale and Moyra Major for the Local Drive Home show. Another notable personality is former Australian Idol contestant Stu Campbell, who formerly hosted the night show but now is part of the commercial creative copy writing department. The Street Team are known as "The 1029ers" and feature Big Brother million dollar winner Trevor Butler.
A key point of difference between Hot Tomato and the other Gold Coast radio stations is that all shows originate and are broadcast from the local region, there is no networking, apart from the Kylie and Jackie O show.
Hot Tomato was the first radio station in Queensland to use the limited inventory concept, getting around the Nova trademark by calling it "only ever two ads in a row." Hot Tomato also prides itself on an active local newsroom delivering on-the-hour news updates and runs a local website called myGC which have news from the Gold Coast, Australia and the world, events on the Coast and more. The first song played on Hot Tomato was The Rolling Stones' "Sympathy for the Devil".
