Triple H runs on a general community license and is required to provide content most suited to its own population and minority groups. Membership is open to all members of the community.
History
2HHH FM began in at the end of 1999 and beginning of 2000 with a community group called "The Friends of Community Radio", This group was led by Shane Cook and involve many people from the community. Friends of Community Radio believed that the area was not being serviced adequately by the existing community radio station North FM.
2HHH FM is a community radio station run by a company limited by guarantee. Triple H was to provide a radio alternative, while aspiring to become 'the complete' community radio station solution.
When the Australian Broadcasting Authority reissued application for a permanent broadcasting license in 2000 for the Hornsby / Kuring-gai area, the vision of the group was for a well run community station that was able to get behind the community and provide a voice for the community.
The members led by Shane Cook assembled a presenter team, physically built the studio and prepared the programs and production for the aspirant transmissions Triple H scouted around the local businesses for transmitters and broadcasting gear that they did not already possess. They had to complete the task of getting a studio to air in six months.
They asked local business people to donate computers, compressors, transmitters, microphones, and made an application to Council for the use of the North FM antenna that was supplied by the Council.
By December, 2000, Triple H was on air. The new station caused a stir in the community due to its professional sound and attractive programming. The number of listeners soon grew as people began to realize that for the first time the community possessed the possibility of a real community radio station. Members struck out in the community with publicity and advertising. Banners, T-shirts, hand bills delivered to houses, newspaper articles, and before launch day an Open Day and barbecue, where people from the community were welcomed to view the new community resource.
HHH Today

There have been new programs on air to cater to different community groups, including but not limited to; computer and Internet show, Australian music (signed and unsigned), elderly groups and many others.
