>>If you carry any of their programming it might be worth preparing alternate solutions in-case there is nothing produced to air in the coming days.

Talk Radio Network may have ceased operations. Among its shows is Jerry Doyle heard at 10 pm on WRKO... (they used to
have Ingraham, Savage, and Hendrie and still do have America's Morning News, Mancow, Andrea Tantaros, Rusty Humphries,
etc.)
Stations may have to do backup plans (rerun Howie? Take another show?)

>> If the speculated demise of TRN that we have been hearing about today is true, it could also have an immediate impact on its hundreds of affiliates in both the news/talk and all-news arenas. Again, none of this has been confirmed by Masters specifically..TALKERS has attempted to reach Masters but he has not responded to our calls and emails.

Hmm, can't remember what nite it was last week but I turned the radio on around midnite and there was a replay of levin. I couldn't figure out WTH he was doing on at midnite in place of Doyle.

> Tuning around to a few America's Radio News Network affiliates has them all airing TRN's Andrea Tantaros. Looks like ARNN is done./
Which begs the question since TRN has still been silent on the issue, but have any affiliates received any notifications from the network?

Long story, see other threads but attempts are being made to make sure the talk shows air while Amer Radio Network News is http://radioinsight.com/blog/headlines/84948/talk-radio-network-suspending-operations/

>>As Dial Global/Westwood One has been collecting our advertising revenues, but refusing to pay them over to us or to account for them, these companies have now been forced to reduce as many operating costs as possible. However, the current rumors of an alleged shutdown of broadcasting operations for non-ARNN programming are unfounded. Broadcasts of the other programs are continuing without interruption.

Doyle is off WRKO and Savage is back on in Doyle's time slot, I just check the RKO schedule.

Savage is on RKO with Howie right now as I type this and says tonight Boston callers can get a copy of his new book. The show is
9 to 11 (or is it 9 to mid) nationally, 10p-1a on RKO.

How does the demise of TRN effect his Cult Leader Fathers program The Roy Masters Show. Does Mark handle it or does daddy still buy time on the stations himself..
