26Oct09

According to ABC TV’s Media Watch last night, some stations in the Bill Caralis owned Supernetwork are not meeting their local content obligations under the Broadcasting Services Act. Caralis is relaying his Grant Goldman breakfast program around the network and claiming it to be local content.

Superstation spokesman Bob Scott said that they comply with local content

Holmes claimed that Bill Caralis was “cynically dudding his regional listeners.”
