2EC

Radio station in Bega, Batemans Bay, Australia

2EC is a radio station broadcasting to the South Coast, New South Wales, Australia, specifically the local government areas of Eurobodalla and Bega Valley. It is owned a subsidiary of ARN.

01History

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

As at 1987, it was owned by Hoyts. In November 2021, 2EC, along with other stations owned by Grant Broadcasters, were acquired by ARN. This deal allowed Grant's stations, including 2EC, to access ARN's iHeartRadio platform in regional areas. The deal was finalised on 4 January 2022. 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.
