Founded in 1993, the Talk Radio Network companies, led by Mark Masters, are a juggernaut in long form talk syndication – eclipsing all other syndicators in the launch and development of long form syndicated radio talk programs. This is due to what their CEO, Mark Masters, terms a “fearless entrepreneurial environment at TRN.” Adds Mark Masters, "Whether it is the syndication of conservatives, libe
rals, libertarians or lifestyle shows, the TRN companies love to create great programming. We love great talk radio, we live and breathe what comes out of the speakers, and you can feel that passion in the hallways – we love this business.”
In the last 21 years, the different TRN companies, through all of their different syndicated offerings, have successfully launched or re-built eight of America’s top 10 largest syndicated talk radio shows (according to TALKERS magazine’s rankings). Those programs include:
► Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell, ranked 4th largest at its height;
► The Michael Savage Show, ranked 3rd largest at its height;
► The Laura Schlessinger Show, ranked 2nd largest at its height;
► The Laura Ingraham Show, ranked 5th largest at its height;
► The Jerry Doyle Show, ranked 4th largest at its height;
► The Rusty Humphries Show, ranked 6th largest at its height;
► The Mancow Experience, ranked 10th largest at its height; and
► One other, ranked in the TALKERS “Top 10” largest syndicated shows (now replaced by Sam Sorbo), ranked 7th largest at its height. Says Mark Masters, “Long form talk is a highly entrepreneurial niche within radio syndication – we have worked hard to run a tight shop and build giants that can knock it out of the park for our station affiliate and advertising partners.”
