2EC is a radio station broadcasting to the South Coast of New South Wales, Australia, specifically the local government areas of Eurobodalla and Bega Valley. It is owned by East Coast Radio Pty. Ltd, which is a subsidiary of ARN.
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.
94.5 FM: Bega Valley and surrounds. Transmitting from Mt Mumbulla @ ~5Kw ERP with an Omnidirectional radiation pattern. Primary coverage area is the Bega Valley, Tathra, Bermagui, Wolumla and surrounding areas. This FM service was commissioned in February 2021 and replaces the above 765 AM service.
105.9 FM: Eurobodalla, plus some towns in the southern Shoalhaven such as Bawley Point and Lake Tabourie. Transmits at 20 kW (directional pattern) from Mt. Wandera west of Moruya (35°47′46″S150°00′19″E / 35.7960°S 150.0054°E / -35.7960; 150.0054 (2EC, Mt. Wandera transmitter)). In good atmospheric conditions, the transmitter can be heard in the Bega Valley region, as well as north to the Shoalhaven and Illawarra. The transmission has been heard as far north as Buladelah on the NSW north coast.
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
