Triple H (call sign: 2HHH) is a community radio station located in Sydney, Australia. It services the Hornsby Shire and the Ku-ring-gai Council area. Triple H runs on a general community license and is required to provide content most suited to its own population and minority groups. Membership is open to all members of the community.

History

2HHH FM began at the end of 1999 involving a large section of the community. This group believed that the area was not being serviced adequately by the existing community radio station North FM. The frequency of 100.1 in the Hornsby Region became Triple H.^[1]

2HHH FM is a community radio station run by a company limited by guarantee. Triple H was to provide a radio alternative, while aspiring to become 'the complete' community radio station solution.

When the Australian Communications and Media Authority reissued application for a permanent broadcasting license in 2000 for the Hornsby / Kuring-gai area, the vision of the group was for a well run community station that was able to get behind the community and provide a voice for the community.

The members assembled a presenter team, physically built the studio and prepared the programs and production for the aspirant transmissions Triple H scouted around the local businesses for transmitters and broadcasting gear that they did not already possess. They had to complete the task of getting a studio to air in six months.

They asked local business people to donate computers, compressors, transmitters, microphones, and made an application to Council for the use of the North FM antenna that was supplied by the Council.

By December, 2000, Triple H was on air. The new station caused a stir in the community due to its professional sound and attractive programming. The number of listeners soon grew as people began to realize that for the first time the community possessed the possibility of a real community radio station. Members struck out in the community with publicity and advertising. Banners, T-shirts, flyers delivered to houses, newspaper articles, and before launch day an Open Day and barbecue, where people from the community were welcomed to view the new community resource.^[2]

Present activities

Triple H has a group of people working together to move the station forward. There have been new programs on air to cater to different community groups,^[3] including but not limited to: computer and Internet show, Australian music (signed and unsigned), elderly groups and many others. Other programs are also supplied by the Community Radio Network.

Triple H is owned by the community of Hornsby and Kuring-gai.
