The station launched in 1997 as Easymix 1467 by Elmie Investments, following 3MA's conversion to the FM band. On 15 June 2016, the station relaunched as River 1467.[2]
In November 2021, River 1467, along with other stations owned by Grant Broadcasters, were acquired by the Australian Radio Network. This deal allows Grant's stations, including River 1467, to access ARN's iHeartRadio platform in regional areas. The deal was finalized on 4 January 2022.[3] It is expected River 1467 will integrate with ARN's Pure Gold Network, but will retain its current name according to the press release from ARN.
