Biz Talk Radionetworks Acquires the Assets of BTRN

Biz Talk Radionetworks announced the acquisition of the assets of Business TalkRadio Network. Biz Talk Radionetworks partnered with its sister company, BizTV, now offers both radio and TV networks to listeners and viewers. In addition to TV and radio properties, the companies also operate a number of online properties that complement Biz Talk Radionetworks.

BizTV’s focus is serving as the home for business. BizTV finds the resources entrepreneurs, small business owners and families need to manage their money, start their latest venture or grow their business.

"This acquisition fits nicely in our portfolio of media centric assets," said Scott Miller, Executive VP of parent company Center Post Holdings. "With the combination of BizTV and BTRN the company will have a solid foot hold in both radio and TV. The combined reach will exceed 30 million TV Households and millions of radio listeners." Miller added, " A number of the programs are carried on both networks currently and we expect that number to expand as we integrate the operations. It's a natural fit for us and we are ready to expand our suite of benefits to small business owners."

Current Consulting Operations Officer for BTRN, Jeff Weber, has been appointed president of the network and will guide the expansion and development of the radio assets. Weber comes with a substantial history and experience with the radio format and BTRN in particular.

The Business TalkRadio Network provides business and financial radio programs, and features to more than 1,000 stations across the country on a barter basis and operates 24/7.

Centerpost Holdings is privately held and based in Arlington Texas. It's properties include, BizTV, Penny Sports, BTRN, LTRN, Austin I Lab, Everything Internet, College Real Estate, Key- Linx broadband, and various real estate holdings.
