caption_attribution_description: The old 2CH radio station in Ermington, Sydney, Australia, on the site of what is now Timor Barracks. Exact date is unknown, but it was before the 1960s. This photograph was taken by my grandfather William Devaney, who is now deceased. It was scanned by me. As such, I consider myself, John Dalton, to be the copyright holder. I agree to license this photograph under the GNU General Public License. This picture has been cropped slightly. I have the original uncropped file and the paper print to prove ownership if anyone tries to falsely claim they own the photograph.

context_section_description: 2CH commenced broadcasting on 15 February 1932 on 1210 kHz. It moved to its current frequency of 1170 kHz in 1935. The NSW Council of Churches was its licence holder until it was sold to John Singleton in April 1994 becoming part of the Macquarie Radio Network. The CH stands for "churches". In 1994, the NSW Council of Churches sub let the licence to Amalgamated Wireless (Australasia) who provided program content for six days per week, with the Council of Churches being responsible for programming on Sundays.
