===Radio=== [[File:2AY and Edge FM studios on Hume St in Albury.jpg|thumb|The 2AY and Edge FM studios]] There are three commercial radio stations in Albury β [[2AY]] on 1494 AM, [[Triple M The Border]] on 105.7 FM and [[Hit104.9 The Border|Hit The Border]] on 104.9 FM. Hit 104.9 The Border's south eastern network is programmed out of the Albury/Wodonga Hub, going to centres in the Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania and South Australia. Broadcasting out of the same building is Triple M 105.7 The Border, which is also networked to local stations around the Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania and South Australia. Albury/Wodonga is one radio market, thus advertisements are directed to both sides of the border. The Albury/Wodonga market underwent significant change in 2005 when [[Macquarie Southern Cross Media]] bought 105.7 The River from [[RG Capital]], and 2AY and Star FM from [[DMG Radio Australia]]. Due to cross-media ownership laws preventing the ownership of more than two stations in one market, Macquarie was required to sell one of these stations and in September 2005 sold 2AY to the [[Ace Radio]] network. 2AY takes much of its daytime and evening programming from [[3AW]] in Melbourne. The [[Australian Broadcasting Corporation|ABC]] produces breakfast and morning radio programs through its local radio network, from the studios of [[ABC Goulburn Murray]], 106.5 FM, located in Wodonga. Most of the rest its programming content is delivered from Melbourne. The ABC also has local transmitters for [[ABC Radio National]], 990 AM; [[ABC NewsRadio|ABC News Radio]], 100.9 FM; [[ABC Classic]], 104.1 FM and [[Triple J]], 103.3 FM There is also a community radio station known as 2REM 107.3 FM. The Albury Wodonga Community Radio station broadcasts a large number of speciality programs including those for the retiree, racing enthusiast, ethnic and Aboriginal communities and a range of musical styles including underground and independent artists from 8:00 pm onwards. 2GHR 96.7 FM is another community radio station that plays classic hits. Oak 101.3 FM (from Wangaratta) can be heard clearly across the region. [[KIX Country|KIX]] 801 AM (on the narrowcast band) plays country music. [[Sky Sports Radio|Sky Radio]] is a sports and racing station which can be heard on 99.3 FM In addition, the area is serviced by [[SBS Radio]] and [[Rete Italia|Niche Radio]], which provide national multicutural stations. SBS Radio 1 is available on 1701 AM, SBS Radio 2 is available on 89.5 FM, while Niche Radio broadcasts on 87.6 FM. [[2APH]] 101.7 FM is a reading for the print handicapped station.
