C91.3 (call sign 2MAC) is a commercial radio station broadcasting on the FM band at a frequency of 91.3 MHz to the Macarthur region of New South Wales in Australia. This area takes in the major centres of Campbelltown and Camden. The station is owned by WIN Corporation, the parent company of WIN Television. Due to government regulations, it can only broadcast at 1 kW ERP so as to limit it's broadcast area, and in a vertical polarisation only due to the station only broadcasting at .6 KW, when their tower height is doubled the horizontal polarisation will be added and the power wound up to the full 1KW. This has resulted in less than adequate coverage for Campbelltown.
Many people feel that the station filled the gap left by the departure of 2KA/One FM and 2WS from western Sydney studios.
Originally, when it started in 2001, the station played classic rock hits, with a little bit of current pop tracks, using the positioner "The Biggest Variety of Rock & Pop". In 2004, its music format shifted more towards CHR, and with it came a change of its positioner to "The Best Music in Macarthur". In early 2006, when Rob Doorey replaced Mal Lees (formerly of Triple M's Club Veg, now at Vega 95.3fm) & Mardi Cole (now at 2CH) for its breakfast slot, their positioner was changed to "Macarthur First".
The station features former Triple M jock, Stuart Cranney. From 2001 to 2005, he presented the "Classic 9 @ 9", in which he played 9 songs with a common theme. During 2006, the 9-10am slot was taken up by the final hour of Rob Doorey's "Macarthur Breakfast" program, in which it is the "At Work Network" and therefore, the "Classic 9 @ 9" was dropped from the station's schedule. Despite the dropping of his famous program, Stuart Cranney remained on the station, on the 10am-2pm slot, which was switched back to the 9am-12pm slot in 2007, as the finishing time for "Macarthur Breakfast" was brought back earlier to 9am.
