Tennessee Hometown Radio Network

What is THRN?
Tennessee Hometown Radio Network is an affiliation of locally owned and operated radio stations dedicated to serving small communities in the State of Tennessee. It is our mission to preserve the standards and values that made radio great in the first place, while providing sales and promotional resources that make it possible for small town stations to survive and compete in an ever-changing environment.

Why THRN?
THRN was founded by radio professionals with experience ranging from major-market consulting and media buying to actual hometown radio ownership. THRN offers advertisers a convenient one-stop network buy – thus making it both time and cost efficient for advertisers to reach the loyal listener base throughout the State. Media buyers love it because they don’t need to negotiate and administrate multiple buys from several small markets. Stations love it because they have a top-notch sales team working on their behalf ay no cost to them, and they can become a part of state-wide radio and internet promotions that would normally be impossible to attract as an independent.

How does THRN work?
There is no cost to become an affiliate. You simple pre-arrange gross rates for the year, and commit to running spots as ordered as long as inventory is available. THRN will handle invoicing the clients, and in turn pay the individual affiliates.

Is there a cost to become an affiliate?
There is no cost to join the network. THRN will offer other resources to its affiliates – web services, production, imaging, sales seminars, consultation, market data, etc. – that will have a cost attached, but there is no obligation to participate.
