History Premiere was founded in 1987 with an investment of (equivalent to $ in ). Founders included Steve Lehman, Tim Kelly, Louise Palanker and Ed Mann. The network produced three programs with approximately 250 affiliates. In 1992, Premiere entered into an agreement with Mediabase, and later acquired the said company in 1994.
In 1997, Jacor Communications acquired both Premiere and EFM Media (producer of the talk program The Rush Limbaugh Show), and in turn, Clear Channel Communications ultimately bought Jacor. Following the merger with AMFM Inc. in 2000, its syndication arm, AMFM Radio Networks, and its radio shows, were folded into Premiere's operations.
Premiere entered a long-term agreement with Fox Sports to launch Fox Sports Radio, with Premiere handling distribution of the network to radio affiliates.
Distribution Premiere Networks' programs are currently distributed over satellite, NexGen Digital WANcasting, and downloadable via FTP. The FTP server serves both primary and backup delivery needs for weekly pre-recorded content. For years, Premiere used the popular Starguide Digital III satellite system to distribute their programs prior to their transition to X-Digital Systems (XDS) for satellite delivery.
Premiere's entertainment programs are distributed on a mixture of fee and barter-based deals.
