The company provides its core offerings across Australia (covering 32 markets since 1997), Canada (14.3 million radio listeners and 8.4 million TV viewers since 2005), the United Kingdom (27.6 million commercial radio listeners since 2007), and Brazil (35 stations in Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Belo Horizonte since 2011), serving populations exceeding 91 million monthly. Founded in 1997 and headquartered in North Sydney, Australia, GTN derives approximately 97% of revenues from radio advertising sales in FY2024.
In recent developments, GTN has broadened essential affiliate agreements and formed new partnerships to bolster its platform amid advertising market challenges, positioning for future growth; Viburnum Funds emerged as the primary shareholder, providing strategic and financial support. The company expanded sales systems, conducted cost evaluations to protect margins, and announced an equity buyback program in August 2024, repurchasing 9.7 million shares for AUD 5.19 million by August 2025 despite reporting a net loss in FY2025. These initiatives follow an Extraordinary General Meeting in November 2023 and underscore GTN's resilience in four of the world's top 10 advertising markets.
