Grupo Radial Colombiano

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Grupo Radial Colombiano (Spanish: Colombian Radio Group, GRC) was a Colombian radio network founded in 1979 by brothers Miguel and Gilberto Rodríguez Orejuela, heads of the Cali Cartel.[1][2] In 1984, the Rodríguez brothers transferred their stocks in the network to journalists and executives after the media published their links to the network.[1][2]

GRC, which at its peak had 28 stations, would be sold in 1989 to a religious group,[3] later becoming Colmundo Radio.[1]
