2Day FM (call sign: 2DAY) is a commercial FM radio station broadcasting in Sydney, Australia on a frequency of 104.1 MHz, and part of Austereo's Today Network. The station was one of three radio stations (along with Triple M and Triple J) to be granted new FM broadcasting licences in Sydney in 1980, and commenced broadcasting on 2 August of that year. The original owners were well known media personalities John Laws (30%), Mike Willesee (30%), Village (30%) and Graham Kennedy (10%). The station's original programming format was focused towards easy-listening music, but shifted to more pop and rock oriented programming since the late 1980s, with the later addition of rap and dance music to their playlists.

During the 1990s, 2Day FM enjoyed ratings success, especially with its breakfast program The Morning Crew (featuring well-known Australian comedian Wendy Harmer and television comedian Peter Moon) which consistently topped its segment in the Sydney radio market for years.

Peter Moon is an Australian comedian, best known for participating in the sketch comedy Fast Forward. ...

Moon left the breakfast show in 2002 after infighting with Harmer became unbearable for him. He was replaced by yet another Melbourne comedian Greg Fleet, who was poorly received by the Sydney radio listeners. Greg Fleet - Comedian & Actor Gregory Greg Fleet is a successful Australian comedian and actor. ...

When Harmer resigned in 2003 the station tried to directly replace her with a clone, Melbourne comedienne Judith Lucy. Judith was given free rein over the new show and installed her two friends, Peter Helliar and Kaz Cooke, to co-host. The show was a dismal failure and saw 2Day receive some of the worst breakfast ratings of its history. Many blame this failure on the fact that a completely Melbournian team were hosting a show in Sydney (although Harmer was originally a Melbourne comic, she had relocated herself to Sydney), and that Lucy and Helliar were unable to carry a show on their own.

From 1995 to 1998, 2Day FM broadcast the highly successful Martin/Molloy drive program with Tony Martin and Mick Molloy. This program was networked to over 50 stations around Australia (from the studios of FOX FM in Melbourne), and is considered one of Australia's most successful FM radio shows. Martin and Molloy left the Today network in late 1998 at the top of the ladder, citing the need for a break from the pressures of radio. After a few years absence, currently both Tony Martin and Mick Molloy host shows on the sister Austereo network Triple M.

Nights on 2Day FM have also been controversial. In 1997 night announcer David Rymer, host of the then Top 30 Countdown, was castigated in the media for a poorly thought-out on air stunt in which he called a top ranking HSC student, pretending to be from the Board of Studies. He told the girl her results were incorrect and that her marks had been adjusted. He played the segment to air after receiving verbal permission to do so from the girl's mother, however her father was a lawyer and took legal action. The media pounced, and Rymer was suspended until further notice. He returned to the show a month later but was soon moved to day shifts on sister station Triple M to make way for the new networked night show Ugly Phil's Hot 30, hosted by Phil O'Neil and his then wife Jackie O. The new show was not without its controversy either, with complaints about obscenity and foul language. Phil and Jackie divorced in 2001 and the show disintegrated, culminating in O'Neil's resignation in 2002. Phil moved to the UK to present breakfast on Kerrang! 105.2, and was replaced by Brisbane based Kyle Sandilands, while Jackie O remained as co-host.

2Day FM started 2005 with a number of changes, the most significant of which was moving the night show team of Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O to breakfast, and employing young unknown Craig Lowe as the host of the nightly networked show Lowie's Hot30.

In recent years the station has lost much of its share of the radio market to newcomer Nova 96.9, which has been accused by Austereo of having a format too similar to that of 2Day FM. One of the measures the station has carried out to address its falling ratings is shifting two popular hosts Jackie O and Kyle Sandilands (former hosts of the popular night program Hot30 Countdown) to the breakfast shift.
