702 ABC Sydney was launched on the 23rd of November 1923 and from the very day of the launch it has served the listeners round the clock. The very first call-sign of the 702 ABC Sydney radio station was the 2SB. 2SB stands for State of New South Wales Broadcasting Limited. After a while, a new name was adopted, 2BL, which stood for Broadcasting Limited. This was done to distinguish it from another radio station of Sydney by the name of 2 FC. The name 702 ABC was adopted in the recent past in 2000. The name has been so adopted because it broadcasts on 702 kHz on the AM dial.
