The Bill Caralis-owned Super Radio Network has been rapped by the media watchdog for failing to broadcast the minimum daily three hours of local content on its stations 2EL, 2HC and 2PM – with the latter managing only as little as five minutes on a sample business day investigated by ACMA.

The findings come almost seven months after the issue was first raised publicly in an episode of Media Watch.

The investigation related to the Grant Goldman breakfast program which airs and is presented from 2SM Sydney on weekdays between 6-9am.

The show is also broadcast on 2HC Coffs Harbour, 2EL Orange and 2PM Kempsey.
