About 2KKO - KO 102.9 FM
2KKO - KO 102.9 to listeners - is one of Australian radio's founding stories: 2KO began on 1 August 1931 in the Newcastle suburb of Kotara, so central to the identity that the suburb gave the callsign its name. It launched with 25 watts from a backyard, the licensee's dining room serving as the only studio.
The AM decades ran 1415, then 1410, then 1413 kHz before the 1992 move to FM as 2KKO, and today the station is Triple M Newcastle - mainstream rock with the network's personality shows, owned by Southern Cross Austereo.
Rugby league is stitched through it: Newcastle Knights NRL coverage is a station institution, suiting a league-mad steel city, and the 20-kilowatt signal blankets the Hunter Valley, Lake Macquarie and the Central Coast. Free to stream online, it makes an easy rock web radio listen - ninety-plus years of Newcastle radio, from a Kotara dining room to the Hunter and the wider world.
