2UUU (Shoalhaven FM) FM broadcasts 24 hours a day from the Nowra CBD. It is licensed as a public broadcaster for the Shoalhaven local government area, stretching from Gerroa in the north to Burrill Lake in the south. This area of approx 4000 square Km is large enough to warrant three transmitters; these are:
Programming on Shoalhaven FM is very diverse, ranging from softer music such as country and western/adult standards in the daytime to more upbeat sounds (top 40/rock and metal) at night. The station also networks programs from the CBAA satellite (such as Pet Talk Radio), as well as Shoalhaven council meetings.[3]
The station began trial broadcasts in the late 1980s. One of its early organisers was Phil Dye, a primary school teacher and former member of the Moonshiners bush band. After several successful trials, the station was finally granted a license and continues to operate until the present day.[1]
