The station transmits on 981 kHz on the AM band from a transmitter site located along Bengalla Road near Muswellbrook, near the Bengalla coal mine. Its studios, shared with sister stations 98.1 Power FM and low powered narrowcast station 94.5 Hot Country, are located at 100 Bridge Street Muswellbrook. The station is licensed to Radio Hunter Valley Pty. Ltd., which itself is owned by Grant Broadcasters.
2NM broadcasts an adult contemporary music format, typically covering music from the 1960s through to today, aimed at an older audience. This is supplemented by local, rural and national news bulletins, a daily local affairs program, and programs sourced from Sydney stations 2UE, 2GB and from program syndicators. All programs from 6am to 6pm weekdays and 6am to 12pm weekends are broadcast from the Muswellbrook studios, with longer hours of automated music during the summer months and public holidays.
2NM was originally licensed to Cessnock as 2CZ, owned by Coalfields Broadcasting Co. Pty. Ltd., but the station's call letters were changed to 2CK prior to its launch on 9 January 1937. The station operated on 1460 kHz, with a power output of 300 watts, and was managed by Albert Ryan.
