612 ABC Brisbane has been broadcasting for more than 80 years. Since the 1920s, 612 ABC Brisbane has shared Queensland history and development. In 1925, the Queensland Government set up the first A Class station in Brisbane. This station was called 4QG. The first program on 27 July 1925 was the market report, followed by the stock exchange and the weather. In 1928, the Federal Government announced it would nationalise all A Class stations and the Australian Broadcasting Company (ABC) was formed to supply programs to the national broadcasting service.
