Mark Masters, CEO of Talk Radio Network & Working Group Chairman
Expertise: Entrepreneurial Management, Sales, Syndication of Talent

Founded in 1993, Talk Radio Network is the industry leader in the development of successful nationally syndicated long form spoken-word radio programming – this is due to what its CEO, Mark Masters, terms a “fearless entrepreneurial environment at TRN.”  On April 30th, 2007 Bear Stearns issued a report which concluded that TRN is the second largest provider of nationally syndicated radio talk shows nationwide, making TRN at that time larger than ABC Radio Networks (ranked 3rd) and Westwood One (which was then ranked 4th) for national talk programming.  The TRN companies have an unprecedented track record of both top end revenue growth and creating breakout shows (six of TRN's shows have landed on the Talkers Magazine “top ten” list for largest nationwide syndicated radio talk shows).  The TRN companies have averaged a compound top end revenue growth rate well over 40% per year, each and every year, for the last five years in a row through December 31st, 2007. Masters has been acknowledged by Radio Ink Magazine as one of the 40 Most Powerful People in Radio for multiple years.
