ABC Radio Canberra

666 began broadcasting in January 1953 bringing a second ABC program to the national capital (2CY or Radio National as it's now known began broadcasting here in December 1938).
This additional station was connected into the national broadcasting service by a line from Sydney. As the 666 transmitter was of a lower power and higher frequency it didn't quite have the same coverage as 2CY. For this reason 2CY continued to carry regional programming while 666 began serving the local community with Canberra based programs.
