Radio legend and founder of Super Radio Network Bill Caralis passes away

Australian radio legend Bill Caralis, founder, MD, and chairman of the Super Radio Network, has died, aged 84.

Caralis purchased a radio station in a small regional country NSW town, which he built into a network of 42 stations across two states, including the prize acquisition of 2SM, the country’s first talkback station.

Dianne Coveny-Garland, 2SM news director of 24 years, shared the news of Caralis’ passing on-air with a tribute that highlighted his tenacious climb to success.
