Our Audience

Alive 90.5 is the local station for one of Australia’s most dynamic, productive and multicultural regions.

Our broadcasting area

The local government areas of Parramatta, Holroyd and the Hills are diverse, with a total population in excess of 390,000 people. 2CCR FM broadcasts to this area twenty four hours a day, seven days a week with a range of programming as diverse as the area itself.

These three areas fall under the ACMA licencing classification of Parramatta RA1 (map), which covers roughly 260Km2 of land. While this is our licenced area, our signal can be heard in other surrounding areas in the Sydney basin. We also have a world-wide audience via our internet streaming.

How many people listen?
