2HD Radio

The authorities decided to close 2HD due to worse circumstances of World War II in 1941. The station had a staff of 25 members at that time. After the war, the Australian Labor Party and Labor Council of New South Wales collaborated to reopen it. Hence, the station resumed its transmission from 15th January 1945. The Labor Party and NSW Labor Council shared the ownership of 2HD from 1945 till 1999. During these 29 years, Jim Storey, along with his wife Twink, managed the station. Twink was a program director of 2HD. The station had switched to an Alternative format. In 1977, the building of the studio started demolishing.

Therefore, the authorities built a new building of administration in 1977. It was known as ‘the submarine.’  The station was ranked number 1 in 1987. The station was operating in news and talk format. In the 90s, 2HD maintained its position in the top ranking by providing quality content. Bill Caralis bought this station from the NSW Labor Party and the NSW Labor Council in 1995. In 2018, the partnership with Crocmedia repurchased A-League and AFL to 2HD after facing many disputes.
