2AY Radio 1494 AM

2AY 1494 AM went to air on 17 December 1930 and has been part of the Albury soundscape ever since, making it one of the older commercial voices of country New South Wales. The callsign follows the state convention - 2 for NSW, AY for Albury - and its signal serves both sides of the Murray River, across South West NSW and North East Victoria.

The format today is classic hits and talk, run by Ace Radio since 2005, when cross-media ownership rules forced Macquarie's regional network to sell. Frequencies have shifted over the decades - 1110 kHz in the 1930s, 1480 after 1935, and 1494 since the AM band was re-spaced in 1978 - but the local identity has never moved.

English-language and border-town proud, 2AY streams free online, keeping the twin cities of Albury-Wodonga within earshot of locals, expats and classic hits listeners everywhere - a straightforward AM radio listen live over the web.
