Triple M Riverina
Classic hits radio station in Wagga Wagga, New South Wales
Triple M Riverina (ACMA call sign 2WG) is an Australian radio station which transmits on 1152 kHz on the AM band. It is licensed to the city of Wagga Wagga, New South Wales. The station was originally owned by Eric Vernon Roberts and his second wife Ida Annie "Nan" Roberts, who were both formerly school teachers in Narrandera. Both the studio and 100 watt AWA transmitter were originally located in the upper storey of the former Hardys' Building in Fitzmaurice Street overlooking the Wollundry Lagoon. A replacement transmitter of 2,000 watts, making 2WG one of the most powerful in Australia, was built by his brother Phil Roberts, on the Oura Road Transmitter site on 29 June 1932 and operated between 6.00 am and 11.00 pm. By June 1979 the transmitter site was located at coordinates 35° 8' south; 147° 22½' E, approximately 200 metres east of the Olympic Highway and 200 m. north of Trahairs Road.
In 1995, 2WZD (FM93) began broadcasting.
In 1998, DMG Radio Australia bought both 2WG and FM93 (now Triple M 1152 and Hit 93.1). In late 2004, the stations were bought by Southern Cross Austereo who currently own and operate the stations.

Why this record matters
“Triple M Riverina” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Triple, Riverina and Classic provides the most credible route into that argument.
Place names and jurisdictional language are key evidence: both can reveal earlier catalogue descriptions and overlooked record series. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 5, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4633239. Authority coordinates are -35.114, 147.375. 3 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1152, 1932, 1979 and 1995.
A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
