Fine Music Station transmitting into 21^st Century

Sydney fine music radio station 2MBS FM has unveiled a state-of-the-art-transmitter to listeners, seamlessly switching broadcast of its classical and jazz program.

The new Nautel transmitter is up-and-running as a result of the tireless efforts of generous 2MBS FM supporters and volunteers, who were instrumental in its funding and installation.

The donation appeal was spearheaded by one of Australia’s finest pianists, Gerard Willems.

In addition to improved broadcast quality, benefits of the new model include reduced electricity consumption and easier maintenance.

The updated transmitter marks a significant technical modernisation for the station, replacing a model in service for over twenty years.

David Brett, 2MBS-FM Chairman, is thrilled to introduce the high-tech change to listeners.

“2MBS FM has entered the 21^st century with our transmission equipment, ensuring superior quality and continuous broadcasting of our fine music.

“I’d like to thank the skill and dedication of our technical volunteers, and the generosity and passion of our supporters who have made this key transition possible,” said David.

Predominantly volunteer operated, 2MBS FM is a community radio station featuring a rich variety of fine classical and jazz music from the world’s most renowned composers, orchestras, ensembles and soloists.

Broadcasting since 1975, 2MBS FM 102.5 is Australia’s first stereo FM radio station.
