ABC Riverina

ABC Riverina is a local radio station part of the ABC network, located in Wagga Wagga, and it serves the Riverina and Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area in New South Wales. It reaches various towns, including Griffith, Goulburn, Leeton, and Hay. The station's history dates back to 1931 when it was first known as 2CO, operating from Albury with an AM transmission mast near Corowa. It initially focused on broadcasting to south-west New South Wales and north-east Victoria. Until 1987, the station only provided an opt-out service in Wagga Wagga. Following this, new studios and transmitters were established, leading to a division in the region's coverage. 2CO was then adapted to cater specifically to the Riverina area, while the Albury station transitioned to Wodonga and was rebranded as 3MRR, which is now known as ABC Goulburn Murray.
