United Stations has taken over domestic syndication of the weekly “The History of Rock ‘n’ Roll with Wink Martindale” from G Networks.
Radio Express will continue to serve as International syndication partner for the two-hour weekly program that debuted in syndication in 2021 as a follow-up to the 1969/1978/1981 Bill Drake/Gene Chenault documentary series.
As of January 2024, the multi-award-winning The History of Rock ‘n’ Roll with Wink Martindale is being syndicated through United Stations Radio Networks. The two- hour weekend The History of Rock ‘n’ Roll with Wink Martindale is now in its 136th week of domestic and international syndication. The series has been named “Best Regularly Scheduled Music Program” in the New York Festivals international broadcasting competition. The fast-paced music- with-fun-facts program has won multiple awards, including Communicator Awards three years in a row and is currently up for a Peabody.
“We are thrilled to have picked up The History of Rock ‘n’ Roll, which has been entertaining stations and their listeners since its premiere in 2021,” said Stefan Jones, Head of Networks, USRN. “This show adds immense value for any Classic Rock, Oldies or similar formatted stations.”
“We are honored to have The History of Rock ‘n’ Roll picked up for syndication by USRN,” said program producer Gary Theroux. “We anticipate that this will give the program vastly expanded reach, and we’re very much looking forward to introducing it to many new affiliate stations worldwide.”
The series is produced by Reserve Productions and is available on a barter basis in North America by United Stations Radio Networks. The History of Rock ‘n’ Roll is represented around the rest of the world by Radio Express.
