2ARM

2ARM FM is a community radio station that has been broadcasting since the late 1970s. It serves the Armidale area in New South Wales, Australia, as well as surrounding regions including Walcha, Uralla, and Guyra, along with the areas in between. Permanent Community Broadcasting Licenses lasting five years were granted in 2012, 2017 and 2022, after operating from 2007 on Temporary Community Broadcasting Licenses (TCBL). These events in 2007 included a 28 September 2007 letter of representation from Mr. Tony Windsor MP for New England to Senator Helen Coonan Minister for Communications, Information Technology & the Arts. The station is volunteer-based and is a member of the Community Broadcasting Association of Australia (CBAA). Neighboring CBAA-affiliated community radio stations are now found at Bellingen, Glen Innes, Inverell, Kempsey, Grafton, Walcha, Tamworth, Taree, Tenterfield, and Newcastle. The current license holder is an incorporated association with the ABN of 30635647271. In June 2009, in consultation with its stakeholders and New South Wales Fair Trading, the application to NSW Fair Trading for a transfer of the existing NSW Co-operative to an NSW Incorporated Association was finalized.
