ABC New England North West is an ABC Local Radio station based in Tamworth and broadcasting to the regions of New England, the Northern Tablelands and North West SlopesinNew South Wales. This includes the towns and cities of Armidale, Moree, Tenterfield and Glen Innes.

History

[edit]

The station began as 2NU in 1948 and is now heard on these main AM and FM frequencies along with a number of low-power FM repeaters:

The first broadcast was held in the then-small town hall, and studios were built a year later, with music programs only broadcast at 8:45 to 9:00 am. The next year, local sporting programs and news bulletins were introduced. In 1953, the breakfast program was introduced, and three years later, the Local Women's Session program began.
