| Communication whether it be one-way or two-way has
been a part of trucking for more than 50 years. If you have any recollections about all night trucker radio, we would like to hear your stories about the hosts, the guests, the callers, and the events. |

| As the highway system evolved, more
& more truck radios in Canada & the USA
tuned into the powerful AM radio stations especially at night. The Legends give brief bios of the hosts who
revolutionized terrestial radio and satellite radio. |

Technological advances led to the
consolidation of all night trucking radio & the formation of trucking networks on terrestrial radio including the Interstate Radio Network, the Road Gang Coast to Coast
Radio Network, the
Midnight Cowboy Trucking Network, & the Truckin' Bozo Radio Network.
A number of options are currently available to listeners in North America. The
Network Programs are broadcast over a number of stations simultaneously. The Syndicated Programs are aired at different times over a number of stations. The Local Programs are often heard on only one station. |

Trucking networks & affiliates saw the impact of the
'net & rebroadcast their feeds. Others
took the chance to reach a worldwide audience on a 24/7 basis with trucking
programming on internet stations. The Internet Alternatives focus upon this niche. |

With the introduction of satellite radio, the big names of truck
radio moved to the new medium. The Satellite
Alternatives look at the satellite services in the North American market with a special
emphasis on programming geared to the trucker. |
