hit106.9 Newcastle

Hit106.9 (call sign: 2XXX) is a commercial FM radio station broadcasting in Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia, on a frequency of 106.9 MHz, and is part of Southern Cross Austereo's Hit Network.

In those days, 2HR operated on 680 kHz with 300 watts of power, and was affiliated with the Macquarie Broadcasting Network.

Station manager Ken Robinson was a former Australian Army officer, and his identification number had the letters NX.

2NX was granted a license to convert to FM in the 1990s and moved to 106.9 MHz, branding itself originally as X107, before changing to NXFM.

On 15 December 2016, NXFM became known as hit106.9 in Southern Cross Austereo's mass re-branding of its regional radio network.
