ABN-2
(ABC Sydney)
ABN-2 was a regional
variant of the national public service channel ABC. The 'N' in the station code stands
for New South Wales. The suffix '2' denoted their
channel position on the dial, not that they were the second ABC channel.
There were also other variants of ABC in other states.
