History
Prior to 2009, the station was known as 4CA-FM, and was the second FM station in the market (after 103.5 Hot FM). 4CA-FM was purchased by Prime Media Group Limited in 2005 from Macquarie Regional RadioWorks, and was rebranded as 102.7 Zinc FM on 23 March 2009. At that time, the 4CA branding returned to sister station 4EL.
In August 2013 Grant Broadcasters acquired the station and Prime Media's other nine radio stations in Queensland.
In April 2016 Grant Broadcasters re-branded Zinc 102.7 to Star 102.7 and switched to an adult contemporary format.
