2LF is an Australian radio station serving the Young region and is part of the Super Radio Network with its sister station Roccy FM . It was opened in February 1938. [1]
The LF stands for Lambing Flats and the station broadcasts on the AM dial on 1350 kilohertz and a power of 5 kilowatts - more than double the power of neighbouring radio stations 2WG Wagga Wagga , 2GN Goulburn and 2PK Parkes , all of which are rated at 2 kW. This may be due to the varying heights of the towns of Young, Cowra and Cootamundra - 2LF's core audience.
Many famous names in Australian broadcasting and television either began their career at 2LF or worked there, including Ken Sutcliffe , Ray Warren and Mike Connors . 2LF only became a 24-hour radio service in the late 1980s. Prior to this it finished broadcasting for the day after the midnight news and resumed with a test broadcast after 5am (which involved playing an album) before officially starting with the national anthem leading into the 5:30am news. When 2LF went "24 hours" it took programming from the co-owned 2WG Wagga Wagga with the on air branding of 2WG/2LF . 2WG itself took overnight satellite music programming from 2UW in Sydney which at that time provided radio network services to about 80 stations nationally.
