History
2NBC was formed in 1974 by a group of local residents and the Narwee Baptist Church, interested in the idea of a community radio station. After test broadcasts in the early 1980s the group was granted a licence by the then Australian Broadcasting Tribunal to provide a community broadcast service to the south and inner west suburbs of Sydney. Although 2NBC was spearheaded by the team from Narwee Baptist Church, the station has always been managed and programmed independently to the church.Current
In 2008 the City of Hurstville and 2NBC teamed up to record The Tales from Dragonhurst, a local history radio drama. Funded by the Australia Council for the Arts the production involved a cast and crew of 30 senior citizen, seniors and an orchestra. Eight episodes were recorded and broadcast and the series has been made available to all community radio stations in Australia.Programming
