Outback Radio 2WEB

Funding was provided from the Disadvantaged Country Area Program in 1977, with equipment installed and the first broadcasts reaching an audience within a 200-kilometre radius of the school grounds the following year.

[3] After several years of operation and fundraising, 2WEB moved to purposely built premises in Oxley Street which they still occupy today.

In January 2018, 2WEB acquired and resumed publishing Bourke newspaper The Western Herald after its owners decided to cease publication in December 2017.

[4][5][6] A new AM transmitter was purchased and installed after local MP Kevin Humphries announced funding of $85,000 in March 2018;[7] later that year, funds were secured to rebuild the three existing studios with the latest digital broadcast and production facilities.

[8][9] Programming originates from its Bourke studios and has been refined over the years with regular shifts incorporating locally produced regional news and National News from Nine Radio.
