Description

The ABC: ABC Central West

ABC Central West (call sign: 2CR) is the ABC Local Radio station for the Central Tablelands region, based in Orange, New South Wales, owned by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. It broadcasts on 549 kHz on the AM band. The 549 kHz signal is one of the most powerful in Australia, with the coverage map on the ABC's reception website showing that the station can be heard in Northern Victoria and South Western Queensland during normal daytime conditions.

The ABC Central West office sits on the Mitchell Highway on the Bathurst side of the city. Renovated at the end of 2009, the office boasts two broadcast studios and a production booth. The station is serviced by a local morning show team, rural reporter, breakfast presenter and manager, three journalists and Saturday breakfast casual staff.

For more historical information, please visit the About ABC Central West page on the ABC website.
