Radio Station's 75th Anniversary

75 years of Sydney Australia's 2CH

Australian Christian radio station 2CH based in Sydney celebrated its 75th anniversary on Sunday February 18th.

The stations has been broadcasting on 1170kHz AM/MediumWave since 1931.

Originally the primary license holder was the New South Wales (NSW) Council of Churches. In 1989 the station was sold to John Singleton.

CH stands for “churches” and the Council of Churches continues to have significant input into the format of the station. Along with the NSW Council of Churches and the management of affiliate Macquarie Radio Network, 400 guests and officials attended the celebration held in St. Andrew’s Cathedral in Sydney.

According to General Manager Ian Holland, the station is known for its award-winning personalities, easy-listening music and low-key Christian programming that presents the gospel in a “pleasant unobtrusive and entertaining style.”
