In 2007, 2YYY applied to Australian Communications and Media Authority
(ACMA) for a permanent community radio licence which ACMA did not allocate to the station on grounds that 2YYY provided insufficient evidence. ACMA also found that 2YYY failed to encourage community participation and exceeded sponsorship limits set by ACMA.
In 2008, Young and District Arts Council applied to ACMA for a community broadcasting license, whereupon ACMA tried to find agreement for bandwidth sharing with both 2YYY and the Arts Council, as they had failed to negotiate a mutually agreed time share arrangement.
A proposed sharing arrangement by ACMA would see 2YYY broadcast for six months and the Arts Council acquiring the license for six months from 4 January.
27 June 2008, ACMA announced that Young District Arts Council Inc was issued a temporary community radio broadcasting licence and also announced that Lambing Flat Community Broadcasting Inc (LFCB) and Young District Arts Council Inc (YDAC) would be time sharing the 92.3 MHz frequency. LFCB would broadcast from 1 July 2008 until 3 January 2009 and YDAC to broadcast from 4 January 2009 until 30 June 2009.
