History.
The station was launched in 1959 on the AM Band, employing a staff of only 3 people. The station grew through the decades and in the 90s relocated from their Keira Street studios to the city center.
In March 1991 the station moved to the FM Band and became the first city in Australia to have an entire FM ABC service. The station is the official emergency radio broadcaster for the SES in times of bushfires and other natural disasters. In 2008 and 2009 the station's Regional Manager Peter Riley was sent to Western Australia and North Queensland to cover cyclones and floods.
There was originally an ABC Local Radio bureau in Nowra which was administered by Wollongong, but it was closed due to budget cuts in 2014.
