2UE is a commercial radio station in Sydney, Australia owned by Fairfax Media. It is Sydney's and Australia's oldest commercial radio station, first broadcasting on 26 January 1925 on 1025 kHz AM before moving to 950 kHz in 1935 when virtually all Australian radio stations were assigned new frequencies. In 1978 2UE moved to 954 kHz. It is located at the studios in Greenwich, New South Wales in Sydney's North Shore.
2UE has a News/Talk format, involving current affairs oriented programs with talkback across the day, Sport in the early evening and more relaxed programming at nights and on weekends.
It has been a constant rival of another Sydney station 2GB, which offers a similar format. 2UE suffered major blows when long time breakfast program host Alan Jones moved across to the 2GB breakfast program and when broadcaster John Laws retired from radio, leaving his 2UE morning program at the end of 2007.
