Local Radio Networks has acquired Radio Workflow creating what they state is “the industry’s first all-in-one platform for programming and back-end office operations”.

LRN says that the merged companies deliver a revolutionary turnkey solution that provides broadcasters with tremendous cost-saving synergies, increased bottom-line profitability, and improved creative output, freeing broadcast owners to focus on growing their station revenue.

LRN CEO Steve Swick commented, “Uniting with Radio Workflow brings together unprecedented cost saving opportunities, as well as the best 24/7 music programming across the radio dial for Small and Medium Market station owners and operators, allowing them to focus on growing their business up and down the Main Streets of their local communities. Broadcasters no longer have to concentrate their personnel on programming and operations; instead, they gain both in a single, integrated solution designed by leaders in Middle-Market Radio, who understand the unique demands of Small and Medium Market radio owners.”

Radio Workflow co-Founder Fletcher Ford will remain with the vompany as Chief Revenue Officer. He stated, “I’ve spent my career collaborating with local broadcasters, and I know firsthand the challenges they face and the opportunities ahead. By combining the passion and expertise of both Radio Workflow and LRN, we are assembling a team that represents the highest standards and technical excellence of both operations, with a deep understanding of middle market radio station requirements.”

Co-Founder and Chief Information Officer Shane Zammit added, “Industries don’t fail because of talent. They fail when the infrastructure beneath them doesn’t evolve. Sixteen years ago, I saw local radio relying on tools that slowed it down, and I decided to create a solution. We started with no funding. No blueprint. Just conviction. Radio Workflow was built line by line, conversation by conversation — shaped by real stations, real pressure, and an uncompromising commitment to reduce the chaos behind the scenes. Today, with Radio Workflow and Local Radio Networks working as one unit, we have something rare: technology with scale, built by people who understand the industry from the inside out. This isn’t just a product. It is infrastructure forged from lived experiences. And our next chapter together won’t just be bigger, it will be defining, and the most important one yet.”
