History

[edit]

2AY and Edge FM studios in Albury

2AY Albury was founded by AWA and opened on 17 December 1930.^[2] In 2005, 2AY and sister station 104.9 Star FM were purchased by DMG Radio Australia.^[4] Later in 2005, Macquarie Regional RadioWorks, through its purchase of most DMG Radio Australia's regional assets, owned 2AY, Star FM, and former cross-town rival 105.7 The River. Due to cross media ownership laws limiting the number of radio stations owned by one company in a market to two, Macquarie was required to sell one station.^[5] 2AY was sold in September 2005 to Ace Radio.^[6]
