2UE was launched 26 January 1925 not 35 as the story states.
The story actually states that the "954 frequency" has been broadcasting as 2UE since 1935. Prior to that 2UE was broadcasting on 1025 kHz AM. -Ed
A minor point - 3MP (1377) didn't become SEN. That was 3AK (1116). 3MP maintained its identity through that time. It (much) later became MTR, then MyMP, and finally Classic Rock.
I stand corrected. -ED
3MP now SEN? You might want to check that.
Did check. You're right. It was 3AK - Ed
Peter, it really doesn't take much to check facts.
On 16 July I advised 2UE was launched in 1925 not 35 as the story says, then you justify the mistake with another mistake?
2UE changed to 950khz and was 950khz until all AM stations moved in 1978. After 1978 2UE broadcast on 954khz.
2UE started off as 2EU but within months changed to UE - surely the point of the article was that 2UE was our oldest commercial station - it's frequency then and now is irrelevant. Now please update it to correct your mistakes and false justifications.
EDITOR: Westo, fair point, and thanks for the history details. Amended.
