History

The idea for the station came about due to frustration with the lack of local content on the very few radio stations broadcasting to the Augusta region. Attempts to acquire a frequency for the station to operate on began in 2002, but the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) specified that all the frequencies were being used by other local TV broadcasters. The founders of the station pushed on with support of local communities and, after initially requesting the frequency Шаблон:Frequency in 2007, the ACMA allocated Шаблон:Frequency for a community radio station in Augusta in April 2008. With the help of donations from Lotterywest, a local couple, and the South West Development Commission, 2 Oceans FM started broadcast in 2009.
