Transtar Radio Networks
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the 24 hour radio network. For the airline, see TranStar Airlines.
Transtar was the first radio network to provide 24-hour music programming to local affiliates. The slate of 24-hour networks is now owned by Westwood One and operated by Dial Global. The studios are located in Valencia, California.
Transtar was founded in 1981 by C. Terry Robinson. In 1989, the company merged with the United Stations Radio Network (which had already bought the old RKO Radio Network). The new company was named Unistar/RKO. That entity, in turn, was bought by Westwood One in 1993. [1] The music networks were run as a self-branded division of Westwood One until 2006, when the agreement with Dial Global began.
