of preparing a license application . following a public hearing on 3 september 1982 the then australian broadcasting tribunal granted a licence to 2rrr . for the next eighteen months four committees worked to get the station on air . at first the station only broadcast three days a week on friday saturday and sunday with news interviews local issues and a variety of music . broadcast hours were gradually increased and 1986 saw 2rrr begin its extensive and ongoing involvement in outside broadcasts . in 1988 the station moved its studios to the historic henley cottage in henley . current edit
