[edit] History
2AY Albury was started by Amalgamated Wireless Australasia Limited, and opened on December 17, 1930. In recent times, 2AY, and Star FM Albury, were owned by DMG Radio Australia. In 2005, Macquarie Regional RadioWorks bought 2AY, Star FM, and rival station 105.7 The River. Due to cross media ownership laws limiting the number of radio stations owned by one company in a market to two, Macquarie was required to sell one station. They sold 2AY to Ace Radio.
