A Legacy of Innovation
CRN Digital Talk Radio first signed on the air in 1983 with a bold vision: to bring a radio channel to cable television. Founded by pioneer broadcasting legend, Michael Horn, CRN embraced satellite delivery and digital broadcasting—long before streaming became a household word—allowing us to syndicate high-quality talk programming to radio stations and cable systems across the United States.
By 2000, CRN Digital Talk Radio expanded to eight channels of high definition, talk radio programming for cable and satellite TV. Today, CRN continues to develop programming that is delivered across various digital platforms, ensuring accessibility for listeners around the globe.
CRN’s programming is now syndicated on broadcast radio, ROKU and Apple TV, streaming on worldwide apps and online at CRNTalk.com. Many of our programs are also available as a podcast on Google Home, Amazon Alexa and all major podcasting platforms.
Over the decades, we’ve built a reputation for innovation and reliability. From the dawn of digital audio channels on cable TV to today’s on-demand, multi-platform listening environment, CRN has consistently been ahead of the curve, making sure our shows reach audiences wherever they are.
