GNFM—previously known as 2GN—is a radio broadcaster based in Australia, catering to the Goulburn area. Its initial launch occurred in January 1932 on the frequency 1390 kHz, which later shifted to 1368 kHz until 2022. Preliminary test transmissions were conducted starting 7 December 1931. Currently, GNFM is jointly owned by the Capital Radio Network and Grant Broadcasters. The station now transmits on 107.7 MHz, delivering a Classic Hits format under the Forever Classic branding, consistent with its affiliated stations 2CA, 6IX, XLFM, and 3GG. Its broadcasting facilities are shared with sister station Eagle FM.

An FM repeater extends GNFM’s coverage in Crookwell at 106.1 MHz.

On 12 May 2022, GNFM completed its transition from AM to FM broadcasting and adopted a new brand identity reflecting this change. The AM transmission on 1368 kHz was discontinued in June 2022 following a retune advisory broadcast from 28 May, guiding listeners to tune into the new FM frequency.


Programming

GNFM provides a combination of locally produced shows and syndicated programming, including news updates specific to the region.
