Talk Radio Network (abbreviated TRN) is an American radio network providing talk radio programming, with an emphasis on conservative talk on weekdays and variety/general interest talk radio on weekends. Some of the most recognizable personalities in American radio, such as Laura Ingraham and Michael Savage, are syndicated on Talk Radio Network. The company's CEO is Mark Masters, son of talk show host Roy Masters. The company began offering its syndicated programs in 1993.[citation needed] Bear Stearns issued a report in 2007 which concluded that TRN is the second largest provider of top tier nationally syndicated radio talk shows in the U.S., making TRN (according to the Bear Stearns report) larger than ABC Radio Networks (ranked 3rd) and CBS controlled Westwood One (which is now ranked 4th) for national talk programming.[1]
[edit] ProgrammingTalk Radio Network's programming is arranged in the format of a 24-hour network, such that the programming rarely overlaps, with the programming split up among three satellites. Aside from encores, almost all of TRN's programs air live. TRN currently carries no short-form programming; in April 2007, Talk Radio Network debuted its first short form program, a daily commentary hosted by Dick Morris, but it has since left the air. TRN's weekday programs are mostly distributed individually as opposed to a straight network. As such, shows like Laura Ingraham and Michael Savage are heard on hundreds of stations by millions of listeners, while the network's other offerings air on considerably fewer. TRN's weekend programming is mostly syndicated as a large block. In recent months, however, TRN has been increasingly feeding its weekday programming to stations in multi-program blocks; according to TRN, the network is "capable of delivering a full turn-key talk operation to one radio station." TRN's director of programming is Phil Boyce, best known for his long stint as program director at WABC. Much of TRN's programming could be heard on CRN Digital Talk Radio Networks until November 2009, when CRN dropped the network and replaced it with Air America Media.
