SWR 99.9 FM live

SWR FM is a community radio station in Blacktown, in Sydney's west. It broadcasts on 99.9 FM under the call sign 2SWR, and its slogan is "Sydney's West". On this page you can listen to SWR FM live online, free and without an app.

Local voices

SWR FM's programmes are made by and for the people of Blacktown, Mount Druitt, Seven Hills, Riverstone and the surrounding suburbs of western Sydney, with local news, community announcements, interviews and information about events, clubs and organisations.

Music

The station plays a broad mix of music, from pop and today's hits to favourites of past decades, with specialty programmes for many genres and for the area's cultural communities.

The area

Western Sydney is one of the fastest-growing and most diverse parts of Australia, and the Blacktown area is home to large Filipino, Indian, Pacific Islander, Sudanese and other communities, as well as a significant Aboriginal community. SWR FM gives them a local voice and follows local events, sport and community life.

Volunteers

The station is run largely by volunteers, many of whom present their own programmes, and it is supported by its members, local sponsors and listeners. It also trains new presenters and gives local groups and causes a place on air.

Community radio

Australia has one of the world's largest community radio sectors, with hundreds of not-for-profit stations run largely by volunteers and supported by their listeners, sponsors and grants. They give airtime to local voices, local music and local information that commercial radio rarely reaches, and they are often the only station made in their own suburb or town.

Other stations

On this site you will also find Sydney's other community stations, including Alive 90.5, Connect FM, Pulse FM and 2SER, and CADA, which is heard on FM in western Sydney.

Listen anywhere

The online stream works on any phone, tablet or computer, so you can listen at home, at work or beyond the station's local FM coverage, and former residents can keep up with home.
