2RE is a commercial radio station catering to the Mid North Coast region of New South Wales, Australia, with its operations based out of studios located in Taree.
The station transmits on 88.9FM covering Taree, Wingham, and the surrounding vicinity; 100.3FM serving Forster and the Great Lakes area; and 100.1FM reaching listeners in Gloucester, Barrington, and nearby communities.
Its lineup features locally produced programs such as the Breakfast Show hosted by Anthony Zanos, alongside afternoon and drive-time segments presented by Kevin Rayment and Diane Ward. The station’s format blends 'Gold/AC' music with local news delivered by Peter Denton, sports updates, and talk segments. Overnight content is sourced from affiliate stations 2SM and 2HD.
Launching its first broadcast on 21 February 1953 from a modest studio within the Taree RSL overlooking the river, 2RE has since transitioned to a state-of-the-art studio facility in Taree. It operates as part of the Super Radio Network, which is headquartered at Sydney’s 2SM.
Marking its 50th year in 2003, 2RE organized a reunion event for former employees and an open day for its audience. Commemorative efforts included installing a time capsule at the station, releasing a special publication authored by Jenny Summerville, and initiating restoration work on a 1953 FJ Holden. Ivan Scott earned recognition as the most popular station manager (Country Stations) at the ACRA awards. The current General Manager is Murray Nelson.
The station is recognized for featuring music spanning from the 1970s to contemporary hits during peak daytime hours, supplemented by networked talkback radio programming.
In late 2024, the prominent AM transmission tower located at Glenthorne near the Manning River was taken down.
