Talk Radio Network (abbreviated TRN) is an American radio network providing talk radio and all-news radio programming. The talk network emphasizes conservative talk on weekdays and variety/general interest talk radio on weekends. It is headquartered in Central Point, Oregon. TRN is distributed by Dial Global Radio Networks.
Mark Masters is the president and CEO of Talk Radio Network and its subsidiaries. The company began offering its syndicated programs in 1993. Bear Stearns issued a report in 2007 which concluded that TRN was 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. Since that time, the network has been in decline; in fall 2012, both of its most widely distributed shows, The Savage Nation and The Laura Ingraham Show, left the network.

Famous quotes containing the words talk, radio and/or network:
“I’ve thought about how, were we to suddenly receive the freedom about which we talk so much when we spar with one another, we would not know what to do with it at first. We would expend it on denouncing one another in the newspapers for spying, for love of the ruble, we would frighten society with protestations that we have no people, no science, no literature, nothing at all!”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
“We spend all day broadcasting on the radio and TV telling people back home what’s happening here. And we learn what’s happening here by spending all day monitoring the radio and TV broadcasts from back home.”
—P.J. (Patrick Jake)
“Parents need all the help they can get. The strongest as well as the most fragile family requires a vital network of social supports.”
—Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)
