Grant Broadcasters is an Australian regional radio network that also includes a small number of metropolitan radio stations. It is a privately owned company, held by Janet Cameron and her family.
The company was started by Cameron's father, Walter Grant, in the 1940s, when he bought the licence for 2DU Dubbo. By the mid-1980s, 2PK in Parkes and 2MG in Mudgee had been bought, but all three stations were sold in 1986. The company then began an expansion program, purchasing radio stations in New South Wales and Victoria. After the turn of the century, the company more than doubled the number of stations it owned, and now runs over 52 commercial radio stations.[1]
