United Stations

United Stations was founded in 1981 when pop icon Dick Clark, joined with Nick Verbitsky (Chief Operating Officer) at Mutual Radio, to form United Stations.

Among the company's first shows was Dick Clark's Rock, Roll & Remember. From that beginning, United Stations grew in a span of only 12 years to become one of the country's top three radio networks.

In 1987, United Stations entered into an advertising sales and marketing alliance with Transtar Radio Networks. This alliance worked so well that in 1989 the two companies merged. The new entity became known as Unistar Communications.

In 1993, Unistar merged with the Westwood One Radio Network.

In 1994, Dick Clark and Nick Verbitsky decided to take the United Stations name out of mothballs to form the United Stations Radio Networks.

United Stations is Duran Duran related.
