2CH


2CH is a commercial radio station in Sydney, Australia. It is owned by Pacific Star Network.

History

2CH commenced broadcasting on 15 February 1932 on 1210 kHz. It moved to its current frequency of 1170 kHz in 1935. The NSW Council of Churches was its licence holder until it was sold to John Singleton in April 1994 becoming part of the Macquarie Radio Network. The CH stands for "churches". In 1994, the NSW Council of Churches sub let the licence to Amalgamated Wireless who provided program content for six days per week, with the Council of Churches being responsible for programming on Sundays.

Church Thanksgiving

On 18 February 2007, a thanksgiving service to celebrate 2CH's 75 years of broadcasting was held at St Andrew's Anglican Cathedral, Sydney Square, commencing at 2 pm. The Reverend Peter Jensen, the Anglican Archbishop of Sydney presided with Rev. Dr. Ross Clifford preaching.
In January 2017 2CH was sold to a consortium of Oceania Capital Partners, Glenn Wheatley and John Williams for $5.6 million. The station had to be sold to comply with an undertaking given to the Australian Communications and Media Authority following the merger of the Macquarie Radio Network and Fairfax Media to comply with legislation allowing one party to only control two radio stations in a market.
The station posted a loss of $1.9 million on revenue of $2.4 million for the year to March 2019. In June 2020 it was sold to Pacific Star Network.
