RBN

RBN, the Republic Broadcasting Network, is based in Round Rock in the US state of Texas and broadcasts as a talk and news programme. Pop music plays no discernible role on the station. The website lists live streaming, archives and podcasts, as well as a network of partner stations, known as affiliates, through which the programmes are distributed.

The focus is on political and social issues from a conservative perspective, along with discussions with guests and calls from the audience. The website refers to regular presenters and a broadcast schedule, which can be found on the page “Hosts/Schedule”. According to its own information, RBN is funded exclusively by donations from listeners, sponsors and advertisers and receives no funds from foundations, non-governmental organisations or state bodies.

Anyone wishing to classify RBN should bear in mind that it is an opinionated format and that the content of the website is predominantly written from this viewpoint. An independent verification of the information on funding or reach is not possible on the basis of the website alone.
