During the week, Eglinton’s 2BS Towers successfully demolished. Council’s Engineering Team arranged for the two towers to be safely demolished and removed as part of the Duramana Road Masterplan.

Built to support 2BS radio’s early broadcasts, the towers were a focal point for decades yet had long been inactive thanks to technology advancements. The now vacant land on which the towers were located is covered by the Duramana Road Masterplan, a design for the expansion of Eglinton including residential development, open space and a proposed neighbourhood centre.

Our Story

2bs 95.1 FM is a rarity in Australian Commercial Radio. Since 1969 Bathurst Broadcasters has been locally owned and operated by Ron and Stephanie Camplin who live at the top of William Street in Bathurst and who are very much hands on in the day to day operation of the company. Winner of 65 Commercial Radio Awards in the past 22 years, 2BS is an adult contemporary talk radio station, whose announcers are personalities informing and entertaining listeners in Bathurst, Blayney, Oberon and surrounds. With a core audience made up of listeners 25 years plus, 2BS is the focal point of area community and promotional activities. Community service in the form of live and recorded community service announcements, and lost and found announcements very much define who we are. 2BS features a gold music format along with comprehensive Local and National News. 2BS began broadcasting in Bathurst on the 1st of January 1937. Ron Camplin joined the International Broadcasters Idea Bank in 1964. After several years of ownership and a change to the 2BS transmission site at Eglinton, Sir Frank Packer sold 2BS to Ron Camplin in 1969. 2BS’s supplimentary licence, 99.3 B-Rock FM began broadcasting on the 2nd of December 1996. 2BS and B-Rock have won 65 Commercial Radio Australia Awards since 1989.
