A Canberra-based community radio station

2XX is a not-for-profit radio station that gives a voice to the Canberra community. Founded in 1976 on the ANU campus and now broadcast from our premises in Civic, 2XX produces between 8 and 12 hours of local programming every day. That is content originating at our station, produced and presented by members of our local community. You can expect to hear everything from programs covering genre-spe

cific music, talk-based programs covering politics, environmental issues, q***r issues, science, conflict resolution, mental health and film, along with multicultural shows presented in a range of community languages.

2XX serves a diverse range of interest groups in the ACT by providing a range of vital information and entertainment services which are not available from public or commercial broadcasters. Over 50,000 Canberrans listen to community radio every week. We can't claim them all, but we do know our listeners hail from almost every age group, ethnic background and interest group imaginable. So tune your dial to 98.3fm or DAB, or stream or catch up on demand at 2xxfm.org.au and lend us your ear!

A Folk Jazz Double Bass Legend edition of Rebel Chorus on Saturday (Oct 11) at 10.00am, where we will be paying tribute to English folk jazz double bass legend Danny Thompson who, sadly, passed away last month aged 86.

We’ll look at his years with Pentangle and his collaborations with the likes of Marianne Faithfull, Nick Drake, Richard Thompson, Norma Waterson, Linda Thompson and the Blind Boys of Alabama.

Where did 2XX begin?
There are multiple answers, but a signficant location is the transmitting station in Giralang, just off the Barton Highway. The building was destroyed by fire, probably arson in 1988.
The radio mast however is still visible today. As a rare example of a free-standing 1928 tower, it ought to be heritage listed.
There's quite a story here - not just of the facilities, but of the people and the issues that made our station. In this interview Kimmo Vennonen describes those early days. Kimmo was one of the first station technicians and subsequently manager.
He talks about some of the highs and the lows that make our story.

Well Well Well looks broadly at issues surrounding the health and wellbeing of our LGBTIQ+ communities, with a specialty on HIV and sexual health. The show focuses on connecting listeners with clinicians, researchers, and subject matter experts in an unvarnished conversation that is sex-positive, accessible, and de-stigmatises health topics that might otherwise be considered taboo.

The CONFAB WITH MICHAEL G AND WEDNESDAY LUNCHBOX

As many people have discovered O/S travel is back on the agenda. I am departing the fine shores of this country today and will be back on-air Mid November. Be safe, think of others and wherever possible look after those that are helping others get through difficult times.

Where songs wandered off and found a new home…

A weekly broadcast tracing the deeper currents of sound—part archival dive, part emotional weather report. Music weaves through forgotten corners and future echoes, carrying interviews, voices, and one lucky listener’s song dedication each week. Like a hazy dream taped over the family VHS of The Castle—tune in and drift out.
