Global Talk Radio
(GTR) began streaming in April, 2005. We
received approximately 4,000,000 hits in our first year and
surpassed the 10,000,000-hit mark in March, 2007. Over one thousand unique
listeners tune in each day, primarily to listen to archives of
interest on-demand. Many listeners stream through multiple
archives of different shows in one visit.
And our audience is soaring! In
fact, Global Talk Radio has earned the reputation of "the
fastest growing internet talk radio station".

Most of our
listeners are between 25-60 years old (fairly evenly distributed
between the genders), with above-average education and
above-average income/investments. The majority of our
listeners are currently in the United States and Canada,
although we have reached listeners in 64 countries across
Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia and throughout North and South
America.
What is our
mission?

Our goal and foremost mission is to promote the growth,
prosperity and well-being of those we serve (our listeners and

industry leader for producing top-quality programming and
matching our content with a highly-targeted internet audience to

Furthermore, we consider it our responsibility to contribute to

conventional AM and FM outlets.) Read our

Can everyone
appear as a host or guest on this station?
No. We have
strict guidelines as to the suitability and appropriateness of
our guests. We approach many of our prospective hosts and guests after hearing
of their work from other sources. Others contact us
themselves,
and if we approve, we extend an invitation for them to appear on
our station. However, we have also turned down many
applications - even though they offered to sponsor the station -
because they did not meet our qualification standards.
