AM channel 2XL becomes XLFM 96.1
The Snowy Mountains’ AM radio channel 2XL has become FM station XLFM 96.1.
The announcement:
2XL MOVES TO FM – BECOMES XLFM 96.1 SNOWY MOUNTAINS
2XL is saying goodbye to AM transmission.
This morning 2XL has moved to its new home on the Radio dial, FM96.1 and become XLFM 96.1.
This is one of the biggest changes in the 82-year history of the Snowy Mountains based station.
XLFM 96.1 is a part of the Capital Radio Network and has been under the Blyton Group ownership for the past 40 years.
Today also sees the launch of a new dedicated translator for Bombala listeners on FM92.5.
”Our loyal listeners are now able to access our music and programs that they know and love in FM Stereo quality” said Kevin Blyton, Chairman of XLFM.
“There are now more options than ever to listen to XLFM, on FM96.1, online at xlfm.com.au, via your smartphone or smart speaker.”
The move to FM is part of the Blyton Group’s continuing investment to roll out FM across the network, providing listeners with improved reception and sound quality.
Listeners in Cooma will need to retune their radios to FM96.1, whilst Bombala listeners should retune to FM92.5.
