2EC is a radio station broadcasting to theSouth Coast ofNew South Wales, Australia, specifically the local government areas ofEurobodalla andBega Valley. It is owned by East Coast Radio Pty. Ltd, which is a subsidiary ofARN.
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 byGrant Broadcasters, were acquired by theAustralian 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'sPure Gold Network, but will retain its current name according to the press release from ARN.
The station airs aclassic hits format, with the same playlist as other stations part of theARN RegionalPure Gold Network.
