Louisiana Radio Network (LRN) is a state radio network based in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, that produces news, sports, business and agricultural news programming distributed via satellite to 62 affiliates throughout Louisiana and parts of Mississippi. LRN is a sponsor of the annual Louisiana Agriculture Hall of Distinction and publishes Tiger Rag Magazine, which focuses on Louisiana State University sports.[1]
Launched in 1974, the network was acquired in 2010 by Jim Engster, who has been involved with LRN since 1983.
In August 2012, LRN merged its agrinews programming with the Louisiana Farm Bureau Radio Network to create the only agriculture network of its kind in Louisiana, the Louisiana Farm Bureau Agrinews Network, and one of the South’s largest agrinews programming networks.[2]
