History
Muslim Community Radio (call letters 2MFM) is a community radio station based in Bankstown that broadcasts to Sydney on a citywide license. It is a volunteer-run organization that is primarily supported by listeners.
Darulfatwa – Islamic High Council of Australia is affiliated with the station. Beginning in 1995, the station broadcast under a temporary license during Ramadan and Dhu al-Hijjah, and then added a weekly Friday broadcast in 1997. On May 24, 2001, a full community broadcasting license was granted. The Australian National Imams Council requested that the radio station’s license be revoked in 2011 due to its ties to Al-Ahbash and its promotion of “sectarian fringe views.” The Australian Communications and Media Authority, on the other hand, granted a 5-year license in 2011, drawing criticism from Islamic groups.
