2SER-FM, a prominent community radio station in Sydney, Australia, is facing imminent closure as funding from Macquarie University has been withdrawn and the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) is also reconsidering its financial support. Volunteers were informed that the station could go off the air permanently as early as July, which has alarmed many who view 2SER as a cornerstone of Sydney's cultural and artistic community. Established in October 1979, 2SER has been a platform for independent journalism and diverse voices, fostering talent among its volunteers, including notable figures like Social Services Minister Tanya Plibersek and ABC presenters. The station's financial woes stem from a lack of proactive measures to secure new funding partners after Macquarie's exit, with UTS claiming it cannot sustain the station alone. Critics argue that UTS's budget, exceeding $1 billion, could easily accommodate the modest funding needed to keep 2SER operational. The potential loss of 2SER has sparked widespread concern and calls for UTS to commit to its future, emphasizing the station's unique contribution to Sydney's media landscape.
