2GB Sydney 873 AM

2GB is a commercial talk radio station in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, broadcasting on 873 kHz AM. It carries news, current affairs, interviews and listener talkback rather than music, and it is among the most listened-to stations in Sydney.

The station began intermittent broadcasting in 1926 and is currently owned by Tapt Media. Its weekday line-up has included Ben Fordham Live, The Mark Levy Morning Show, afternoons with Michael McLaren and nights with John Stanley, with weekend shows and live sports commentary also on the schedule. Programming is in English and is aimed at a general adult audience in the Sydney area; schedules and presenters change over time, so check the website for the current line-up.

Because 2GB is a talk station, expect spoken content throughout the day, including news bulletins, traffic and weather updates, and discussion of local and national issues. The stream is delivered over HTTPS as a low-bitrate MP3 feed of about 48 kbps via StreamTheWorld, which suits mobile connections and is fine for speech.
