American Urban Radio Networks (AURN) is the only African-American-owned-and-operated Nielsen RADAR-rated radio network in the United States.[2]

It was formed in 1991 from a merger of the Sheridan Broadcasting Network and National Black Network.

Privately held for the last three years[when?] with new ownership,[citation needed] AURN reaches an estimated 40 million listeners weekly on over 6,000 affiliates and provides the advertising community with multiple networks and marketing, gaming, and digital capabilities.[3]

AURN is the only African-American broadcasting company with a desk in the White House and has offices in New York City, Pittsburgh, Boston, Chicago, and Los Angeles.[4]
