What Syndication Net Com Inc does

Syndication Networks Corporation (SNC) is a privately held, Chicago-area radio syndication consulting and marketing company founded in 1993. The firm operates a portfolio of approximately ten syndicated radio shows spanning public affairs (InfoTrak), health (Check Up On Health), business (The Success Journal), gospel (Sunday Morning Gospel), automotive (The C&C Auto Show), golf (The Golf Minute), weddings (Wedding Planning with Pem), country music (Pure American Country, Weekend In The Country), and lifestyle content (National Day Spotlight). These programs range from 60-second daily features to multi-hour weekend shows and are broadcast on nearly 2,000 US radio stations, including most of the top 50 Nielsen-rated markets. Distribution is handled primarily through the Westwood One XDS satellite platform (with FTP digital download as a secondary channel) and NETQUE automation files for station-side integration.

The company derives revenue from three streams: (1) syndication consulting services — including ongoing consultation, affiliate relations, national ad sales management, audio demo and marketing kit creation, satellite/FTP distribution, and franchise building — sold to show hosts, producers, and major radio networks; (2) national network radio advertising, sold directly to advertisers targeting adults ages 25-54, including internet radio advertising; and (3) barter-based distribution to FCC-licensed broadcast stations, where stations carry shows free of charge and share commercial inventory. Programs are offered on a barter basis to stations with no restrictive long-term contracts, while clients retain 100% ownership of their show IP. Pricing for consulting and advertising is quote-based with no public rate cards.

Syndication Networks is a bootstrapped, founder-owned business led by Chris Witting (Founder & CEO), who is also an active host of multiple syndicated shows. The company maintains distribution relationships with all major US radio groups — iHeart Media, Audacy, Cumulus Media, Cox Media Group, Hubbard Broadcasting, Salem Media Group, and Townsquare Media — and has a content partnership with National Day Calendar. In 2026, the company relocated to larger offices in Palatine, IL to support growth in affiliate relations and studio production.
