[edit] History

Radio America was founded in 1985 by the President, James C. Roberts. Since then Radio America has been providing stations across the nation with news, talk, documentary and short-features programming.

Since its inception, Radio America has won a host of awards including the New York International Radio Festivals Gold and Silver medals, the ABA Silver Gavel, Gabriel, Ohio State, Freedom Foundation and many others. In 1997, Radio America achieved full network status, broadcasting 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Programs are broadcast via three satellites and over 500 affiliates carry their programs. In addition, the network's programs are now available on the Internet through RealAudio. Radio America programs generally reflect the network's adherence to standard conservative ideas, like limited government and the free market. News and talk features predominate on weekdays, while weekends offer a varied menu of special programs ranging from home finance to sports and from medical advice to politics.
