Forty four years after the launch of its first commercial radio station, Australia’s national capital finally received a second commercial station, 2CC, in 1975.
The station was originally broadcast on 1210 kHz, adjusted to 1206 kHz in 1978.
2CC was quick to dominate Canberra’s newly competitive market with a popular music playlist.
With the launch of 2CC’s secondary station 2KIX in 1988, 2CC’s format was re-focused to ‘Classic Hits’.
2CC and former AM rival 2CA are now owned as a joint venture between Capital Radio Network and Grant Broadcasters. 2CC now broadcasts a news and talk-back format with a mix of local programming supplemented by networked programming from Sydney talk radio stations, 2GB and 2UE.

shame we now have 'chat' through 2UE late at night. The quality of this programming drives me to surf for other stations. Do other listeners have a similar experience? Thanks 2CC/2CA/2KIX/2GB/2UE for the opportunity to comment.
