Today 2RE has a modern studio complex in Taree and is part of the Super Radio Network, which has its head office at 2SM in Sydney. To mark the 50th anniversary of the first broadcast a reunion of former staff was organised for 21 –22 February 2003. Many former employees returned and reminisced about their days at 2RE. As part of the celebrations there was also an open day where listeners were invited to tour the radio station. A time capsule was placed in the front of the building, a special commemorative book written by Jenny Summerville and the major prize of the year—a 1953 FJ Holden—was unveiled in its 'ready for restoration state'. Ivan Scott won most popular station manager (Country Stations) at the ACRA awards Murray Nelson is the current General Manager. 2RE is most well known for playing music from the 1970s to recent hits both in breakfast as well as afternoon and drive shifts, along with networked talkback radio.
