Triton Radio Networks
Triton Radio Networks is a subsidiary of Triton Media, based in New York. It purchased the assets of many radio networks, including Dial Global, Waitt Radio Networks and Jones Radio Networks in 2008, and then acquired the majority of Westwood One in 2011 (which itself contained the remnants of past radio networks, as well as the distribution rights to other existing networks). This has raised concerns about the network's concentration of media ownership, to the point where Talk Radio Network, a rival network, filed legal action against the company, citing antitrust violations.

Famous quotes containing the words triton, radio and/or networks:
“I’d rather be
A Pagan suckled in a creed outworn;
So might I, standing on this pleasant lea,
Have glimpses that would make me less forlorn;
Have sight of Proteus rising from the sea;
Or hear old Triton blow his wreathed horn.”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
“Local television shows do not, in general, supply make-up artists. The exception to this is Los Angeles, an unusually generous city in this regard, since they also provide this service for radio appearances.”
—Fran Lebowitz (b. 1950)
“The great networks are there to prove that ideas can be canned like spaghetti. If everything ends up by tasting like everything else, is that not the evidence that it has been properly cooked?”
—Frederic Raphael (b. 1931)
