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 87.6MHz KIX Country, are located at 56 Brook Street, Muswellbrook. The Station moved from its old location at 100 Bridge Street in October 2018. The first live broadcast from the new studios was on Monday 29 October 2018. The station is owned by ARN.

2NM broadcasts an adult contemporary/classic hits music format, typically covering music from the 1960s through to today, focusing on 1970s to 1990s hits, 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 station 2GB and from syndicated Nine Radio stations. 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.
