Australian Chinese Radio – About Us

 

History of 2ac:

2ac Australian Chinese Radio was founded in 1995 and began broadcasting on the 15th of July that year. For more than ten years, the staff of 2ac has worked with collective wisdom and concerted efforts to provide our Mandarin and Cantonese audiences with updated and accurate news and information, as well as high-quality entertaining programs.

 

When electronic media of Sydney's Chinese community was still in its initial stage, a group of professionals from various industries who were enthusiastic about radio broadcasting proposed to the government for a one-hour regular Cantonese broadcast on its provided channels. They worked together with one heart, and showed their own special prowess to report the most updated news and information for the Chinese community.

 

Among these professionals, some of them acted out their dream of operating their own radio station. After countless night-long meetings and more than six months' preparation, with the support of some good-hearted people, they finally founded 2ac Australian Chinese Radio with Mandarin and Cantonese programs which accompanies its audience 24 hours day-and-night.

Location:

2ac Australian Chinese Radio was situated next door of Sydney's Chinese library on George Street, close to the Chinese community when it was firstly founded. A passionate audience unceasingly came to the station to show their support. With their loving support and encouragement, 2ac Australian Chinese Radio has been developed over time with a constantly enriching variety of programs. 2ac Australian Chinese Radio now resides in World Square, George St.

A Radio Station for the Community:

According to Australia government's census report, among Sydney's ethnic Chinese people who speak Mandarin or Cantonese, more than 30% described their English level as unsatisfactory. Facing an audience from different places of origin, 2ac provides the opportunity for access to information and entertainment overcoming present language barriers. 

 

Brief news reports are updated hourly, while news bulletins, covering comprehensive and breaking news from Australia, China (including Hong Kong and Taiwan), and all over the world are broadcasted four times a day. Proximity of our news segments rivals any local mainstream English radio.

 

2ac Australian Chinese Radio has also broadcasted many informative programs which deepen the audience's knowledge of mainstream society and reinforce communication and collaboration between the Chinese community and the overall Australian population. And for sure, 2ac caters for the needs of audience from all age groups and all walks of life. We produce various programs covering the categories of medicine, education, culture, cooking, finance & economics, history, and other entertaining programs. There are also phone-in programs which enable the audience to express their aspirations, inquire program schedules, and voice their opinions. The Radio has also worked with many travel agencies cooperatively to run holiday tours which included sightseeing around Australia and various countries overseas. These activities having numerous participants, received a large amount of praise from all.

 

Apart from broadcasting of radio programs, 2ac is always providing different activities of our audience, such as local tours, overseas travelling, dinner events, computer classes and some relaxing and interesting gatherings.
