NOW OVER 80 HOURS OF RETRO IN 32BPS STEREO
Sydney's original 70's 80's backtrax mix!


Getting tired of the same old stuff every day?  Get with the groove, and start doing what a lot of other people are in the rhythm of doing.  More of Sydney's best radios have been switched off and unplugged permanently, as now more computers and laptops are getting wired to the great retro sounds of 2PR.

As the big FM multi-nationals and their computerised robots serve up the same nerve numbing noise every day, you can now connect to Australia's leading retro internet radio station.  We currently have over 80 hours of your favourite retro hits in several different program styles, to get you into backtrax mode.  All of this in our greatly improved 32BPS Internet streaming stereo.  Over coming weeks, you'll enjoy the same great variety in 160 kps perfect FM stereo, as we expand our Windows Broadband Program Schedule, located on the next page.

If you're in the mood for a ballad or two, get your best clothes on, get with your other half, turn the lights down, cool off, and relax in our newly opened love lounge.  If you're into some continuous music, try our non-stop mixes which heads up our program schedule.  But if you have a few coins handy, slot them in, and hop into the time machine as we have a number of Classic Backtrax shows on offer.

Our music schedule is fresh for every program, as the hits are selected, using our unique Random Music Selection system.  It's all your favourite hits and lost classics from the 70's and 80's, right here on 2PR FM internet radio.  Click on the program schedule below and enjoy.

NEW  -  THE 2PR FM SPOTLIGHT CHARITY APPEAL
Friday 15th September 2006 at 6:45 pm


As well as playing Sydney's only continuous 70's 80's backtrax mix, 2PR FM is proud to announce "the spotlight charity appeal". 

As the world becomes more of a uncertain place for many people, several events have unfortunately left many people in need.  Droughts, earthquakes, floods, terrorism, bushfires, economic restructuring, and war are the things we all love to do without, but as life goes on, these events are unfortunately a part of todays reality.  Everyday they are hundreds and thousands of people who suffer the aftermath of these events.

We at 2PR would like to acknowledge the amount of work, many charities do to make this world a better place.  To pay special tribute to those who give so much of their time and energy, in helping those in greatest need, we are very happy to announce our new segment called "The Spotlight Charity Appeal".

As well as finding direct links to their appeals throughout the website, 2PR will be highlighting these organisations with special announcements, during the course of our radio programs.

The Salvation Army
Slim Dusty Appeal for Aussie Farmers


The Salvation Army has recently established a fund, to assist many of Australia's farmers who are doing it tough. 

Over the last four years, Australia has experienced a severe drought, created by a weather phenomenon called El Nino.  This is a climatic system that effects ocean water temperatures and air pressure at the sea level, which in turn effects the rainfall across most of the country.  This has resulted in many months or in most cases, many years of hot dry weather, making it impossible for farmers to make a living.  The "Slim Dusty Appeal for Battlers" has been established for this cause, and you can make your donations at the below link.
