2LF is an Australian radio station serving theYoung region and is part of theSuper Radio Network with its sister stationRoccy FM. It was opened in February 1938.[1]
The LF stands forLambing Flats and the station broadcasts on the AM dial on 1350 kilohertz and a power of 5 kilowatts – more than double the power of neighbouring radio stations2WG Wagga Wagga,2GN Goulburn and2PK Parkes, all of which are rated at 2 kW. This may be due to the varying heights of the towns of Young,Cowra andCootamundra – 2LF's core audience.
Many famous names in Australian broadcasting and television either began their career at 2LF or worked there, includingKen Sutcliffe,Ray Warren andMike Connors. 2LF only became a 24-hour radio service in the late 1980s. Prior to this it finished broadcasting for the day after the midnight news and resumed with a test broadcast after 5am (which involved playing an album) before officially starting with the national anthem leading into the 5:30am news. When 2LF went "24 hours" it took programming from the co-owned 2WG Wagga Wagga with the on air branding of2WG/2LF. 2WG itself took overnight satellite music programming from 2UW in Sydney which at that time provided radio network services to about 80 stations nationally.
