MIX 106.5 (official callsign 2WFM) is a commercial radio station in Sydney, Australia and is owned by the Australian Radio Network (ARN). The station was formerly known as 2UW, broadcasting on 1107 kHz AM, before converting to FM in 1994.
Mix 106.5 plays current hits and a variety of 70s, 80s and 90s music (Hot Adult Contemporary), primarily targeted at the 25-54 age group, the group most valued by advertisers. Sydney's Mix 106.5 is part of the Mix Network with sister stations in other major Australian cities - Mix 101.1 Melbourne, 97.3 FM Brisbane, Mix 102.3 Adelaide and Mix 106.3 Canberra.
[edit] History
The station now known as Mix began life as 2UW, commencing transmission on February 13, 1925 on 1125 kHz on the AM band. On September 1, 1935, the frequency changed to 1110 kHz and in 1978 changed again to 1107 kHz.
2UW was one of two Sydney AM radio stations to be successful in bidding for the right to convert to FM, and on April 30, 1994 commenced transmission on 106.5 MHz on the FM band. The familiar 2UW call sign was now broadcasting as Mix 106.5, adopting its name and logo from the United States. The official callsign became 2WFM though this is not used on-air. The 1107 kHz frequency is now assigned to SBS Radio.

2UW was previously located at 365 Kent Street, Sydney, before relocating to 11 Rangers Road, Neutral Bay. Mix 106.5 now broadcasts from 3 Byfield Street, North Ryde, along with 101.7 WSFM and Western Sydney's The Edge.
