Triton Radio Networks Acquires Waitt Media
April 30, 2008 Triton Radio Networks and its subsidiary Dial Global Digital 24/7 announced today that it has purchased the assets of the Waitt Radio Networks, from NRG Media.
Waitt Radio Networks produces eleven (11) formats of radio programming, which are uniquely localized for affiliates. Dial Global will integrate these formats, as well as Waitt's commercial production service, into its Dial Global Digital 24/7 Formats offering. The combined Dial Global Digital 24/7 Formats will now reach over 925 stations.
"We're thrilled to add Waitt to our growing portfolio of radio programming properties," said Spencer Brown, CEO of Triton Radio Networks. "This is another strong signal to both our advertisers and our affiliated stations that we are committed to top quality programming and state of the art technology."
"No other company in the network space can offer stations these diverse choices," added Kurt Luchs, who will stay with the organization as Vice President and continue to manage the day-to-day operations in Omaha. "Thanks to what Dial Global has done on the ad sales side, this is already our best year ever. Joining forces at a deeper level will make an unbeatable combination."
"We are truly excited about the Waitt Media acquisition with their great formats, exciting technology and great team led by Kurt Luchs," said David Landau, Co-President/CEO, Dial Global. "This is a great complement to the Dial Global Digital 24/7 RADAR Network."
