News talk programming is the second most popular radio format in the country, based both on listenership and number of radio stations. Research has shown that our News Talk format is highly complementary to our core format of Christian Teaching and Talk. As programmed by Salem, both formats express conservative views and family values. Our News Talk format also provides us with the opportunity to leverage syndicated talk programming produced by Salem Radio Network® (SRN). Our nationally syndicated programs are distributed through approximately 2700 affiliates.
