About
editEagle FM launched on 31 January 1997 as the subsequent FM licence to Goulburn's commercial station on AM, 2GN (now GNFM).[3]
The station is owned in a near 50–50 joint venture between Capital Radio Network[4] and Grant Broadcasters[5] trading as Goulburn Radio Broadcasters Pty. Ltd. The station shares its branding and music with fellow Capital Radio Network station Snow FM.[citation needed]
Eagle FM's Goulburn studios ("Radio Goulburn") are shared with sister station GNFM (formerly 2GN).[6] The building is located on the corner of Lagoon and Union streets.[7] Eagle FM is primarily played out from Studio A. Goulburn Radio Broadcasters is also responsible for broadcasting Grant Broadcasters' national hot country network, KIX Country, in the Southern Tablelands.[citation needed]
Eagle FM has a repeater in Crookwell, re-transmitting Eagle FM on 103.9 MHz.[citation needed]
