Washington, D.C. – Talk Radio Network Entertainment and The Washington Times announce that America's Morning News (AMN) has added 45 new affiliates since the beginning of this year, reaching yet another milestone in growth by securing over 135 affiliates. AMN, the leading source for breaking news coverage on radio, features an innovative long-form news format aimed at showcasing investigative reporting, and accountability journalism directly from the nation's capital. Co-Anchored by John McCaslin and Dana Mills, AMN is now airing on affiliates in 23 of the top 50 metro markets continuing to reign as the fastest growing syndicated long form news radio program in the nation. 

Here is what some of AMN's newest affiliates are saying about the syndicated news program: 

In Baltimore, MD, WVIE’s General Manager, Bob Pettit says, “WVIE-1370 is very excited about launching "America's Morning News" to listeners in the Washington-Baltimore market. Our 50,000 watt signal covers nearly six million listeners throughout Maryland, Washington D.C and beyond.” He continues by saying, “Launching "America's Morning News" at a time where breaking news is at the top of everyone's radar, including great national news headlines…was perfect timing. By supplementing AMN‟s national focus with our own local news, sports, traffic and weather, it is sure to attract a vast news audience.” 

Alpha Broadcasting’s, VP of Programming, Brian Jennings, who added AMN the beginning of this year and airs the news program currently on KUFO, Portland, OR (formerly KXFD, Portland, OR) says, “I think TRN is on the cutting edge in developing news programming. There seems to be a growing demand for original news content in America and it's great to see a network take news seriously – now and in the future.” 

Citadel Broadcasting’s Memphis Market Manager, Gennora Reed, who is also General Manager, WKIM, Memphis, TN says, “WKIM added "America's Morning News" to news talk FM 98.9 and we couldn't be happier – With the news exploding this week the timing was perfect.” 

In Tampa Bay, FL Genesis Communications CEO Bruce Maduri says, “Listeners are responding from a variety of formats. Now, Talk audiences can listen to opinion on their P1 station or they can listen to a news presentation without opinion on WWBA. The Tampa Bay market has five talkers, so WWBA is both a great complement to and a strong alternative to the chatter.” 

In Boise, ID Impact Radio Group’s Market/General Manager Darell Calton says, “Early feedback has been phenomenal. We are hearing from a lot of people that they still enjoy the long form talk programming, and are really enjoying the fast paced news delivery of AMN and ARNN. From a technical standpoint integrating our five local reporters into the news format has been a snap.”

Just as with The Times – now one of America's fastest growing newspapers – AMN is proving through its remarkable growth that the American people are receptive to a strong conservative voice extolling the virtues of family, freedom, and faith. We're proud to be a partner in that vital effort.”

AMN‟s affiliates in top metro markets across the U.S. have also been praising the superb news content and information provided and the radio programs ability to break stories live on-air as they happen. 

Jack Swanson, Operations Manager, KSFO-AM, San Francisco, says, “Radio's easy when you listen. We listened to our advertisers who wanted to sponsor more news programming. We listened to the KSFO audience who wanted news that wasn't more of the mainstream media and came from a source they could trust. America's Morning News is a winning combination that is going to be a monster hit across the nation!” 

“Metro Radio is proud to have a new voice in the Nation's Capital. The conservative news/talk format with "The Truth" tells it like it is! WTNT 730 AM will strive to bring the best possible programming to the Nation's Capital,” says, Dave Houston, President, Metro Radio, Inc. Washington, D.C. 

In San Diego, CA on KFMB, Dave Sniff, Program Director says, “America Morning News is fast paced news and information with opinion! Just what my listeners want!” 

DJ Stout, Program Director, WBCN-AM, Charlotte, NC, says, “America's Morning News has been a huge hit in Charlotte. The feedback has been great. With it being a fairly new show, it didn't have the name recognition of some of our other shows but has quickly become a huge part of our lineup.” 

“America's Morning News is exactly what we needed in our morning drive at WQRT fresh news, fast and factual. We are pleased to be able to provide America's Morning News to our audience,” says, Jon Yinger, President CEO, WQRT, Cincinnati, OH. 

Ryan McCredden, Program Director, KQTH, Tucson, AZ says, “America's Morning News sets the right tone for Tucson's News/Talk FM. The combination of news, entertainment and guest interviews starts our listener‟s day well informed and energized. It's a consistent top 3 show in the market and is the perfect lead in to our local talk show on 104.1 The Truth.” 

“America's Morning News is not your typical, run-of-the-mill news show. It has given our station a fresh, vibrant sound during morning drive, and its flexibility allows us to easily integrate our own local elements,” says Stephan Kerr, Program Director, KJCE, Austin, TX.
