Premiere Networks (formerly Premiere Radio Networks, or PRN) is an American radio network. It is the largest syndication company in the United States. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of iHeartMedia and is headed by Julie Talbott, who serves as president.
Premiere Networks syndicates more than 90 radio programs and services to more than 5,500 radio affiliations and reaches 245 million listeners monthly. Premiere offers talk, entertainment and sports programming featuring the following personalities: Casey Kasem, Ryan Seacrest, Delilah, JoJo Wright, Mario Lopez, Sean "Hollywood" Hamilton, Bobby Bones, Crook & Chase, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Steve Harvey, Big Boy, Dave Koz, George Noory, John Boy and Billy, Sean Hannity, Elvis Duran, Dan Patrick, Nikki Sixx, Bill Cunningham, Cody Alan, Johnjay & Rich, Jay Mohr, Pete Tong, Leo Laporte and others. Premiere is based in Sherman Oaks, California, with 13 offices nationwide.
Many of Premiere's programs are also available on iHeartRadio and iHeartRadio.com.
Premiere was founded in 1987 with an investment of $30,000. Founders included Steve Lehman, Tim Kelly, Louise Palanker and Ed Mann. The network produced 3 programs with approximately 250 affiliates. In 1992, Premiere entered the agreement with Mediabase, and later acquired the said company in 1994.
In 1997, Jacor Communications acquired both Premiere and EFM Media (producer of the talk program The Rush Limbaugh Show), and in turn, Clear Channel Communications ultimately bought Jacor. Following the merger with AMFM Inc. in 2000, its syndication arm, AMFM Radio Networks, and its radio shows, were folded into Premiere's operations.
Premiere entered a long-term agreement with Fox Sports to launch Fox Sports Radio, with Premiere handling distribution of the network to radio affiliates.
Premiere Networks' programs are currently distributed over satellite, NexGen Digital WANcasting, and downloadable via FTP. The FTP server serves both primary and backup delivery needs for weekly pre-recorded content. For years, Premiere used the popular Starguide Digital III satellite system to distribute their programs but has fully converted over to X-Digital Systems for satellite delivery.
Premiere's entertainment programs are distributed on a mixture of fee and barter-based deals.
All times are Eastern. Programs are organized alphabetically by franchise and display their date and time if they're available for online download, and additional information.
