doorway of the RSL Club. Casual to full time broadcasting MCR began broadcasting on 89.9FM as a casual basis for 28 days a year in 1989. After much discussion, the committee at the time split up the 28-day broadcasting limit to seven-day weeks, four weeks a year. In the mid 1990s, the station changed frequency to 100.5FM. This continued until 1998 when a temporary yearly license was issued to the station, enabling MCR to broadcast every day, 365 days a year. In 1999, MCR changed frequencies from 100.5FM to 100.3FM due to conflicting issues with other stations. In 2001 MCR was granted a permanent full-time license, which came with a name change to 2MCR. In 2013, 2MCR changed their logo and also changed the name of the station. THE HEART OF MACARTHUR was replaced with THE SOUNDS OF MACARTHUR. The station also changed their name to 100.3FM 2MCR, but still keeping 2mcr as its call sign.
