ABC Riverina is an ABC Local Radio station based in Wagga Wagga and broadcasting to the Riverina and Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area regions in New South Wales. This includes the towns and cities of Griffith, Goulburn, Leeton and Hay.
The station began as 2CO in 1931 originally based in Albury and covering south-west New South Wales and north-east Victoria. The station in Wagga Wagga operated only as an opt-out service until 1987. New studios and transmitters were opened and the region was split into two. ABC Riverina was created, serving New South Wales, with the Albury based station moving to Wodonga and becoming ABC Goulburn Murray.
The station is heard on these main AM and FM frequencies along with a number of low-power FM repeaters:
- 2CO 675 AM
- 2RVR 89.9, 100.5 and 102.7 FM
