ABC Radio Sydney (official call sign: 2BL, formerly 2SB) is an ABC radio station in Sydney, Australia. It is the flagship station in the ABC Local Radio network and broadcasts on 702 kHz on the AM dial. The station transmits with a power (CMF) of 3,110V, which is equivalent to 50 kW (the maximum permissible in Australia) from a site 30 kilometres (19 mi) west of the Sydney CBD.




History


ABC Radio Sydney is the first public radio station in Australia opened in Sydney at 8:00pm on 13 November 1923. Its first callsign was 2SB where 2 denotes the State of New South Wales and SB stood for Sydney Broadcasters Limited. The callsign was changed to 2BL when Broadcasters Limited took over the business.
In May 1928 the Sydney Broadcasting Company was formed to take over stations 2BL and 2FC.
A year later a consortium of entertainment companies founded the Australian Broadcasting Company Limited (ABC) to supply programme material to 2BL, 2FC and similar "A-class" stations in other capital cities.
2BL became one of the inaugural stations, along with sister station 2FC, in the government-owned Australian Broadcasting Commission (also ABC) network when it was founded in 1932. In 1946, it became the flagship of the National Programme, forerunner of Radio National. It also began carrying parliamentary broadcasts. In 1963, it swapped formats with 2FC and assumed that station's old role as flagship of the Interstate Programme, which eventually evolved into Local Radio. However, it continued to air parliament until 1988.
The 2BL callsign was gradually phased out in 1999 as the station was renamed to 702 ABC Sydney, before another name change in 2017 which saw the station simply become known as ABC Radio Sydney.
In the second radio ratings survey of 2012, Nielsen Media Research recorded ABC Radio Sydney's share of the local radio market as the second largest at 10.3%, behind commercial talk station 2GB.
Most ABC Local Radio stations in New South Wales simulcast ABC Radio Sydney's programming when not airing local shows for their areas. The exception is 999 ABC Broken Hill, which relays ABC Radio Adelaide due to Broken Hill being on Central Time.
In November 2023, ABC Radio Sydney celebrated its 100th birthday. The station marked the occasion by removing the time signal pips which had long been heard at the top of each hour before the hourly ABC News bulletin.
On 6 May 2024, ABC Radio Sydney commenced broadcasting from the ABC's new facility at 6 & 8 Parramatta Square in Parramatta after relocating from the ABC's Ultimo headquarters. Mornings with Sarah Macdonald was the first program to broadcast from Parramatta after the facility was officially opened by Kim Williams, David Anderson and Andrew Charlton.
