Breaking News
On the 11th of February 2020 2EAR FM received some much appreciated Great News!! This followed the total destruction of 2EAR FM’s Main Link Antenna on Mt Wandera by bush fires on the 31st of December 2019. 2 EAR FM was seeking financial assistance to purchase and install a new antenna and to re-establish their service from Moruya to Mt Wandera. This is a huge and expensive operation for any Community Radio Station to have to deal with!
The Community Broadcasting Foundation (CBF) came to the rescue by providing an opportunity for 2EAR FM to apply for a “Quick Response Support Grant”!! Secretary Kathy Shields set to work immediately and submitted the comprehensive Grant application on the 4th of February 2020! Notification of the success of that grant came on the 11th of February 2020!!
The Grants Team at the CBF have been remarkable too in viewing, assessing and processing the Grant application in such a short period of time …. We are all extremely grateful to both the CBF and to Kathy.
Tracee Hutchison, Partnership & Projects Manager from the CBF is travelling from Melbourne to pay a visit to 2EAR FM ON Thursday 20th of February to offer further support, find out more about their fire/grant experiences and to offer encouragement to this great Community Radio Station.
2EAR FM says “THANK YOU” TO OUR COMMUNITY FOR BEING SO PATIENT AND UNDERSTANDING DURING THIS DIFFICULT TIME! THERE’S MORE GOOD NEWS THOUGH- ON THE 18/2/2020 2EAR FM TECHNICIAN IAN CLIFFORD TRAVELLED TO MT WANDERA AGAIN AND WAS ABLE TO RE-ESTABLISH A TEMPORARY LINK BETWEEN MORUYA AND MT WANDERA. THE OUTPUT IS STILL NOT AT FULL CAPACITY, BUT 2EAR FM IS ONCE AGAIN BROADCASTING TO AN EVEN LARGER AREA!!
THE NEW ANTENNA NEEDS TO BE PURPOSE BUILT AND HEAVY EQUIPMENT TRANSPORTED TO MT WANDERA TO COMPLETE THE TASK, BUT BE ASSURED THAT ALL AT 2EAR FM ARE KEEN TO BE BACK TO NORMAL JUST AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!!

Community Radio Station, 2EARFM
Community Radio Station 2EAR FM proudly serves the Community of the Eurobodalla Shire.
It broadcasts on frequencies of 107.5 MHz and 102.9 MHz and like most other community radio stations in Australia, the station’s broadcasters are Volunteers.
Funds to operate the station are generated through annual Membership Subscriptions, Sponsorship, Donations and fund-raising events.
Eurobodalla Access Radio Incorporated (EAR Inc)
EAR Inc is the not-for-profit community organisation that owns and operates community radio station 2EAR FM.
Membership of the association is open to all persons who live or work in the Eurobodalla Shire or have an interest in promoting the region through community radio.
Volunteers in the station must be Members of EAR Inc. which is controlled by an annually elected Management Committee.
Community Bulletin Board
Keeping the local community informed about events in our local community is important to 2EAR FM.
We do this both through a series of Community Bulletin Board (CBB) announcements which are broadcast free of charge (if the events are organised by not-for-profit organisations) to promote community events in the Eurobodalla Shire.
The CBB announcements are broadcast at the following times,
each week day at 08:30, 10:30, 14:30, 17:30; and on weekends at 07:30, 10:30, 12:30 and 16:30.
If you are part of a not-for-profit organisation that works within our Shire and would like to make use of this service, then please contact us.
Our studios at 9 Rose St. Moruya. Yes, we're broadcasting in paradise.

The Eurobodalla
We believe that the Eurobodalla Shire, which 2EAR FM serves, is a very special place to live, work and a great place to visit. The Shire stretches from North Durras in the north of the region, through a hundred kilometres of inlets, bays and sparkling beaches, through Batemans Bay, Mogo, Broulee, Moruya, Tuross Head, Bodalla, to Narooma, Central Tilba and Tilba Tilba in the South. Westward, the region includes State Forests and unspoilt National Parks. The region is watered by the Clyde River, the Moruya River (known as the Deua River further inland) and the Tuross River, all of which flow down from the mountains. No wonder the original settlers called this beautiful place the ‘Land of Many Waters’. |
