The Super Radio Network is Australia's largest privately owned network of commercial radio stations.
From its humble beginnings in 1987 when Bill and Pam Caralis bought their first radio station in Griffith, NSW, the network has successfully expanded under the Broadcast Operations banner into the formidable group of 47 AM and FM radio stations it consists of today.
Covering over 93% of New South Wales, the network stretches from as far south as Young to Sydney and Newcastle, out west to Broken Hill and into most major regional centres heading north, such as Bathurst, Dubbo, and Tamworth, to Lismore and the Tweed and into the Gold Coast. Continuing into Queensland, it covers Warwick, Toowoomba and Gympie, standalone areas in Far North Queensland areas, including Innisfail, Mareeba and Townsville, and Alice Springs in the Northern Territory.
The Super Radio Network has an unmatched presence across the major regional population centres of the Australian Eastern seaboard, supporting the communities it serves with live and local content and an unwavering commitment to their well-being. Sadly, Bill and Pam’s 37-year journey into the world of radio ended with their passing within a few days of each other in July 2024, but their legacy lives on in their children, Despina Priala and George Caralis, who now manage the Super Radio Network as joint managing directors.
Despina and George’s commitment to their parent’s legacy and their passion for the industry is exemplified by the recent resurgence of 2SM in Sydney, which has been revitalised with fresh new talent and content for 2025, as well as planned moves to take the whole network forward into the digital age with a new internet presence and enhanced streaming capabilities.
The Super Radio Network will continue to be a family-owned and operated business into the future and is well placed for success by being in the enviable position of having wholly-owned assets and a formidable debt-free property portfolio, including its state-of-the-art Pyrmont studios that service its needs and where its long standing networked Morning Show is broadcast from, which included John Laws’ broadcast career up to his retirement in 2024, and now houses Chris Smith who broadcasts to the Australian community via the Super Radio Network.
