2CH was a commercial radio station in Sydney, Australia which aired from 1932 to 2022. It was latterly owned by Sports Entertainment Network. ==History== 2CH commenced broadcasting on 15 February 1932 on 1210 kHz. It moved to 1190 kHz in September 1935, then 1170 kHz in 1952. ===Ownership=== The CH stands for "churches". In 1944, the NSW Council of Churches sub-let the licence to AWA who provided program content for six days per week, with the Council of Churches being responsible for programming on Sundays. By 1991, MLC had a 74% shareholding. It was sold to John Singleton in April 1994 becoming part of the Macquarie Radio Network. In June 2003, its studios moved from Sussex Street to Pyrmont. 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 & Media Authority following the merger of the Macquarie Radio Network and Fairfax Media (owners of 2GB and 2UE respectively) 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 for $11 million to Sports Entertainment Network. ===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 commencing at 2 pm. The Reverend Peter Jensen, the Anglican Archbishop of Sydney presided with Rev. Dr. Ross Clifford preaching. ==References== ==External links== Official website Media at Wikimedia Commons under Category: 2CH Radio Heritage Foundation - 2CH in 1946
