TSN RADIO

[OldChicago]

Saw this mentioned in another thread and I have always wondered,
where does TSN actually originate from?

Old Chicago

It's in Dallas, co-located with KRLD.

TSN has bounced around with different owners. Years ago it operated out of the original KFJZ in Fort Worth.

CBS owns it now.

It stands for Texas State Network. I remember once when I visited them when they were in Ft. Worth at KFJZ. I was running at the time MRN, the Mississippi Radio Network. I was impressed. They actually had separate news writers. At MRN, the announcer did his own reporting, writing, etc., but still it was mostly rip-n-read.

TSN briefly had a competitor, IBC (Interstate Broadcasting Company) which also had Louisiana and Mississippi state networks. IBC lasted less than a year. The investor pulled the plug.

There's a little bit of TSN's hsitory on its website.

Also, when I was in town from 1976 to 1978 it ran out of the KFJZ-AM and KFJZ-FM building. It was owed by a radio group out of Tulsa, Oklahoma
at the time.

There is also a "TSN Radio" that just launched in Toronto, i.e. an all-sports radio station that carries the branding of TSN, Canada's version of ESPN... I wonder if there's ever been an intellectual property conflict between the two... ???
