About

[edit]

Eagle FM launched on 31 January 1997 as the subsequent FM licence to Goulburn's commercial station on AM, 2GN (now GNFM).[3]

The station is owned in a near 50–50 joint venture between Capital Radio Network[4] and Grant Broadcasters[5] trading as Goulburn Radio Broadcasters Pty. Ltd. The station shares its branding and music with fellow Capital Radio Network station Snow FM.[citation needed]

Eagle FM's Goulburn studios ("Radio Goulburn") are shared with sister station GNFM (formerly 2GN).[6] The building is located on the corner of Lagoon and Union streets.[7] Eagle FM is primarily played out from Studio A. Goulburn Radio Broadcasters is also responsible for broadcasting Grant Broadcasters' national hot country network, KIX Country, in the Southern Tablelands.[citation needed]

Eagle FM has a repeater in Crookwell, re-transmitting Eagle FM on 103.9 MHz.[citation needed]

History

[edit]

Eagle FM's Twitter account is the 77th oldest among Australian radio stations.[8]

The station's playout software is Zetta from RCS, having previously used Master Control also an RCS product.[9]

In April 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic prevented local Anzac Day services proceeding. In response to this, Eagle FM and 2GN provided a dawn service airing just prior to 6 am programming.[10]

On 31 October 2020, Eagle FM's Dylan and Matthew 'MJ' Brokenbrough[11] broadcast live for 24 hours straight in support of Goulburn's Relay For Life which had changed their usual event due to coronavirus.[12] This event was nominated for a Goulburn Australia Day 2021 award in the 'Event of The Year' category.[13]
