2BH commenced broadcasting on the 30th June 1934.

In that time the station has had many owners and location changes, once
owned by News Ltd and operating from studios in Union Street, which is
now a private residence.

For many years 2BH studios were in Argent Street, the main street of
Broken Hill, the shop is now occupied by an office equipment business,
but remnants of the old studios remain intact.

In 1990 they moved into a new building, which was custom built to house
the station and is quite unique in its construction, designed to
replicate an antique Phillips Radio, complete with brass logo. It is
believed to be the only building of its kind in the Southern
Hemisphere, possibly the world.

If you are visiting Broken Hill you are welcome to tour the studios and
souvenirs and postcards are always available.
