Regional Radio Inquiry

The BOG was cited in several instances during a Senate Inquiry into Regional Radio. There had been concerns raised as to loss of localism due to networking of radio stations. Bill Caralis was asked to appear several times at various hearings around the country, but never attended.http://www.aph.gov.au/house/committee/cita/regional_radio/radioreport.html

Local Content Controversy

In October 2009, Caralis' supernetwork was named by the ABC's MediaWatch program for failing to provide sufficient local content as stipulated by ACMA licence conditions. Media Watch identified three stations (2HC Coffs Harbour, 2EL Orange and 2PM Port Macquarie) which all took the Grant Goldman breakfast show feed out of 2SM in Sydney and failed to meet local content conditions. In response to enquiries by MediaWatch, Caralis stated that he believed local news, weather and community announcements played during the Grant Goldman program was sufficient to meet ACMA's licence conditions. As a result, ACMA launched an investigation into the matter. As of November 2009, this investigation was ongoing however, as of 30 November 2009 the three forementioned stations commenced broadcasting a three hour locally produced program from 12pm weekdays.
