2GB

2GB is an Australian talk radio station, formerly owned by Nine Entertainment. It is one of several stations included in Nine Radio, which also encompasses 3AW, 4BC, 6PR, 2UE, Magic1278, and 4BH. 2GB has been in the news recently due to two main reasons. Firstly, Nine Entertainment sold its entire radio division, including 2GB, to Sydney pub baron Arthur Laundy for $56 million, reflecting a shift in Nine's business strategy towards outdoor advertising. Secondly, 2GB served as the platform where NSW minister Kate Washington apologized for a situation involving foster children living with a convicted triple killer, highlighting the station's role in broadcasting matters of public concern and government accountability. This incident has sparked calls for an independent inquiry, further underscoring 2GB's relevance as a medium for addressing critical social issues.
