TMFM 95.5 (formerly known and still licensed as 2TM) is an Australian commercial radio station based in Tamworth, New South Wales and is part of the Super Radio Network.

The station operates from modern studios that are situated on Goonoo Goonoo Road in Hillvue, a suburb of Tamworth and is situated across the road from the Big Golden Guitar along with sister station, 92.9FM.

On June 16th, 2025, 2TM transitioned permanently to 95.5 FM, as part of the ACMA's AM-FM conversion program, becoming known as 'TMFM 95.5'.

About

The station broadcast on 1287 in the AM band and has been operating in Tamworth since 1935.

In 1940 the 2TM was one of just six stations in New South Wales to become independent following the disbandment of the Broadcast Network.

In 1973 a panel was created by 2TM to recognise and award professional and amateur country artists. This led to the creation of what is known today as the Golden Guitar Awards - officially the Country Music Awards of Australia. The Golden Guitar Awards are held annually at the Tamworth Country Music Festival. 2TM ran the awards until 1992 when it was handed to the Country Music Association of Australia.[[File:2TM Tamworth Radio station.jpg|alt=2TM radio station in Tamworth|thumb|2TM radio station in Tamworth]]

In 2019 2TM returned to its country roots by introducing live programming of the Tamworth Country Music Festival. The station also reintroduced the Australian country music charts to regular programming the same year. In 2020, 2TM broadcast live from the Tamworth Country Music Awards for the first time.
