The station airs an Adult Contemporary/Talk format, playing music from the 60s to today. In contrast to many radio stations in regional Australia, 2EC airs very little networked programming. A focus on the community is evident, with segments such as 'Lost and Found', 'Pet Petrol', 'Jobfile' and 'Community Contact' featuring throughout the day. Discussions about local events and issues are held regularly, and local news is heard most hours. The station is automated overnight (6 PM to 6 AM).
Weekend programming includes the 2EC Fishing Show, The Narooma Juice Hour, Real Estate Show and the 2EC Sports Show. Networked music programs 'Cover To Cover' and 'My Generation' are heard Saturday & Sunday Mornings. The station is unique in NSW in that it takes both NRL and AFL coverage, possibly owing to its position near the Victorian border. AFL is heard Saturday Afternoon (via 3AW), whilst NRL is covered Friday Night and Sunday afternoons (via 2GB).
Power FM South Coast is a sister station, playing contemporary hit music.
