CAMARILLO, Calif., Aug. 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Salem Media Group (NASDAQ: SALM), Salem Media Group announced today that it is re-naming its top-of-hour news product, in a joint partnership with Townhall.com, the Salem owned website that reaches 3 million unique visitors every month.  This will be a brand extension to the powerful SRN News product that provides both NewsTalk and Christian Talk stations a strong 24/7 radio news service.  

Salem will continue its increasingly popular SRN News feed at :55 past each hour, primarily for Christian stations.  The top-of-the-hour broadcast will be designed for NewsTalk stations and will carry the branding of Townhall.com.  Already Salem has landed the affiliation of the SiriusXM Patriot Channel 125 for this new venture beginning on Monday, August 31st. 

"We will continue to offer the outstanding reporting that is a hallmark of SRN News with great anchors and respected correspondents like Greg Clugston at the White House, Linda Kenyon at the Senate and Wally Hindes at the House," said Salem Radio Network Senior VP Phil Boyce.  "The new brand extension will allow us to better market the product for News and Talk stations, and we can't think of a better partner than Townhall.com which is so respected and well-known."
