2CC is a commercial radio station on the AM band in Canberra, Australia, that originally began broadcasting on 1210 kHz in 1975 changing to 1206 kHz in 1978. It is jointly owned by regional radio operators the Capital Radio Network and Grant Broadcasters.

History

2CC was Canberra's second commercial radio station, and began broadcasting in 1975. It instantly topped the Canberra ratings survey gaining a reputation as one of Australia's most progressive and successful radio stations. 2CC continued its dominance over Canberra's other commercial radio station, 2CA, throughout the latter half of the 70s and most of the 80s. In 1988, Kix 106 (now Mix 106.3) and FM 104 (now 104.7) went to air as Australia's first supplementary FM licences (also the first commercial FM licences since 1980). Kix 106 was a supplementary licence of 2CC, and FM 104.7 a supplementary licence of 2CA. In the mid-1990s, due to the AM stations dwindling audience and the increasing popularity of the music based FM stations, ARN, owner of 2CC & Mix 106.3 and Austereo, owner of 2CA & FM 104.7, merged together to form a joint venture ownership of both FM stations, selling off 2CC and 2CA to the Capital Radio Network. In 2004, 50% ownership of 2CC & 2CA was sold to Grant Broadcasters.

Current

2CC is a very different radio station these days. It’s days as a successful music station began to fade in the early 90s. For some years now 2CC has adopted a News/Talk format and apart from a small amount of local based programming, networks a large percentage of it’s program from Sydney based radio stations 2UE and 2GB.

News

2CC provides a 24 hour news service. It’s own, locally based, Capital Radio News Service provides news bulletins from 6.00am every half hour during its breakfast show and then hourly from 9.00am - 6.00pm Monday to Friday. It also broadcasts locally based half hourly news bulletins from 6.00am - 9.00am (then hourly till midday) on Saturday and Sunday mornings. At all other times hourly news bulletins are networked from 2UE in Sydney.

Local Programs

2CC provides a locally based breakfast program from 5.30am to 9.00am Monday to Friday and from 6.00am to 12.00pm on weekends. A locally based Drive time program is also provided from 3.00pm to 6.00pm weekdays.

Networking

The majority of programs on 2CC are networked from 2UE in Sydney. Networked programs are broadcast from 9.00am to 3.00pm and from 6.00pm to 12.00am Monday to Friday and from 12.00pm to 12.00am on weekends. An over night program is also networked from Midnight each day.

port

A sports based program, networked from 2UE, is broadcast on 2CC weeknights from 6.00pm. During the Rugby League season the highly successful “Continuous Call Team’’ is networked from 2GB in Sydney. 2CC also provides live coverage of all Canberra Raiders rugby league games with it’s own Canberra based commentary team.

Ratings

2CC achieved an audience ratings share of 7.9%* of the Canberra radio market according to the last Nielsen Media Research Survey in 2007. The station however remains dominated in it’s target audience by 666 ABC Canberra – part of the Government owned Australian Broadcasting Corporation. 666 ABC is the most listened to radio station in Canberra, with 18.7%* of the audience.
