History

2BE began test broadcasting in February 1937. [2] The station was officially opened on 30 September 1937. [1]

In November 2021, 2EC, along with other stations owned by Grant Broadcasters, were acquired by the Australian Radio Network. This deal will allow Grant's stations, including 2EC, to access ARN's iHeartRadio platform in regional areas. The deal was finalized on 4 January 2022. [3] It is expected 2EC will integrate with ARN's Pure Gold Network, but will retain its current name according to the press release from ARN.

Frequencies

Programming

The station airs a classic hits format, with the same playlist as other stations part of the ARN Regional Pure Gold Network.

In contrast to many radio stations in regional Australia, 2EC airs very little networked programming. A strong focus is on the community, with segments such as Lost and Found, Job file and Community Contact featured throughout the day. Discussions about local events and issues are held regularly, with strong local news heard most hours.

The 2EC morning show often speaks to key local people such as Bega MP Andrew Constance.

The radio station has a very local feel, which is also incorporated with their websites, www.2ec.com.au and www.guidetofarsouthcoast.com.au
