2ST is a commercial radio station that commenced broadcasting in 1972. It is owned byARN. 2ST was anAM radio station serving theShoalhaven andSouthern Tablelands regions ofNew South Wales,Australia, broadcasting on the frequency 91.7 FM Nowra to the Bay & Basin + 106.7 FM Ulladulla & Surrounds and 102.9 in the Southern HighlandsMHz. The "ST" suffix denotes the "South Coast and Tablelands" area that is the station's coverage area.

Over the years 2ST has improved the quality of broadcast signal in its coverage area by adding repeater transmitter services -FM 91.7MHzNowra, FM 102.9 MHzBowral and FM 106.7 MHzUlladulla.

The Bowral transmitter was originally 1215 kHz AM when it began in 1979; in 1999 it was converted to FM 102.9 MHz. Alternate local programming, such as the 2ST "Highlands" Breakfast and Morning Programs are broadcast from the 2ST Bowral Studio exclusively for the Southern Tablelands audience. All other programming comes from the 2ST main studio in North Nowra.

In the late 1980s a supplementary FM licence was granted to 2ST and the sister station Power FM 94.9 was launched. Power FM 94.9 broadcasts from the same premises as 2ST inNorth Nowra. Several announcers have moved back and forth between the two stations.

On 1 March 2021, 2ST switched off its AM transmitter on 999 kHz. 8 months later, in November 2021, 2ST, along with other stations owned byGrant Broadcasters, were acquired by theAustralian Radio Network. This deal will allow Grant's stations, including 2ST, to access ARN's iHeartRadio platform in regional areas. The deal was finalised on 4 January 2022.^[1] It is expected 2ST will integrate with ARN'sPure Gold Network, but will retain its current name according to the press release from ARN.
