History
Radio 2UE was established by Cecil Vincent Stevenson, who was first granted approval to conduct broadcast transmission tests from his home at Maroubra in Sydney’s eastern suburbs in 1922. Stevenson received one of the two new commercial radio licences, that were granted by the Australian Government, in 1924. Stevenson chose the call letters 2EU but later changed them to 2UE for ease of pronunciation. 2UE - Australia's first commercial radio station began broadcasting on Australia Day 1925.
2UE met the challenge of television, responding with strong programming and a host of interesting personalities. The programming format included the introduction of the Top 40, as well as Gary O’Callaghan, who reigned as Sydney’s number one breakfast announcer for 28 years. The Top Forty or Top 40 is a music industry shorthand for the currently most-popular songs in a particular genre.
John Laws made his debut in metropolitan radio at 2UE in 1956, where he became Australia’s foremost radio broadcaster. He presented the John Laws Morning Program each weekday morning on 2UE from behind a golden microphone until November 2007. The program was syndicated across Australia, airing in more than 1000 towns and heard by over one million loyal listeners. Laws attracted guests ranging from Prime Ministers to the biggest names in show business. [1]
