2GB was a radio station operated by the Theosophical Society in Australia.

After Clara Codd lived in Australia 1934-1937, she wrote of 2GB,

By this time we had the most flourishing radio station in Australia. he Government owned the first-class stations, but private owners were allowed to hold what were called B-class stations. we had th most famous of all, Station 2GB. These letters stood for Giordano Bruno, a past incarnation of Dr. Besant... Under the leadership of one of our members who proved a genius in this respect, our station rose so high in public esteem that we could charge £1 a minute for advertisers.

The whole of the Sunday lecture in the Adyar Theatre was broadcast every week...

I also used to broadcast every afternoon from 2GB, a short little address on some Theosophical subject. Also sometimes in the evening, when I would often have the brother of Ronald Colman as my announcer...

The afternoon broadcasts, generally about four o'clock, when ladies were having afternoon tea, where of a lighter variety.[1]
