``We are excited to add RTN programming to our WMAK line-up,'' said David Williams, General Manager of WMAK. ``I am typically the person who takes programming calls from viewers and the number one request in this market is for the type of programming that RTN provides. RTN's family-friendly, retro, fun programming will certainly be a hit with our East Tennessee viewers.''

``RTN will soon be entertaining local audiences with hit shows all day and classic talk late night,'' said Mark Dvornik, Executive Vice President of RTN. ``Viewers will also be able to enjoy over two hours of live talk in the evening Monday through Friday.''

RTN is the first completely customizable, national television network to provide a 24/7 digital feed of hit shows to each of its affiliates.
