Wagga Wagga, located almost exactly midway between Sydney and Melbourne, claims to be the largest inland city in NSW with a population of around 47,000.
The city’s first commercial radio station, 2WG, launched in June 1932. It was founded by local husband and wife team, Eric and Nan Roberts. The original broadcast frequency was 1155 kHz, later adjusted to 1150 kHz in 1935. It now broadcasts on 1152 kHz.
By the early ‘90s, 2WG had established an FM translator station on 107.9 MHz in the town of Tumut. It now also has a translator station on 100.7 MHz in Gundagai.
2WG also launched a sister station, FM93 (call-sign: 2WZD), on 93.1 MHz in 1994. The station is now part of the regional Star FM network. Star also has a translator station on 103.1 MHz in Tumut
2WG and Star are now part of the Macquarie Southern Cross regional radio network.
