We want to begin the new year, by expressing gratitude to our show fans, sponsors, affiliates and team. Last year nearly 100 new stations were added to our network roster —- and as we begin 2018 we are proud to share that America’s #1 Travel Radio Show is now reaching over 375+ weekly affiliates. We’ve also enhanced our global 24/7 digital TuneIn.com streaming channel, added show archives to iTunes, and increased the amount of original audio and content you’ll find on our website. Additionally, as we mentioned on-air during our live broadcast on January 6th, we want to acknowledge the successful transition of our program and its multiple platforms to the RMWorldTravel moniker. This evolution has been steadily occurring over the past several years now, and as we like to say —- the “RM” can stand for Robert & Mary or Rudy Maxa, and the “World Travel” is what we’re all about, what we do, what connects us with all of you, and certainly what we hope our show entices you to do. We also want to acknowledge a reality that regardless of whatever we call ourselves, you can be assured that we’re working harder than ever to bring you the best on-air travel content available anywhere on the radio via our live 2-hour weekend show, and :60 second daily travel commentary. And while we’re on the “new year” theme, 2018 will also bring an increase of some popular show staples —- including the “Destination Spotlight” and “Chief Travel Leader” series, as well as the “Personal Connection,” “Write Stuff” and “Show Friend” segments. Special thanks is also in order to our friends and loyal sponsor, Travelpro Luggage, who’s expanded their relationship with us, becoming the exclusive sponsor of “Destination Spotlight.” It’s been a wonderful ride since Robert & Mary created the travel program back in 2004. Rudy came aboard in 2009 to steady the show and help it expand, and then in 2014 the “Travel Trio” united on-air to create a combination that covers the world of travel like no-one else can. What’s occurred the past 3+ years is the addition of over 200 new radio affiliates, an audience increase of more than 1 million, the launch of our global streaming channel and rebranded website, the creation of this newsletter, the organic relaunch of our social media platforms and more. Truly remarkable, and it’s why we’re excited for the year ahead!

Last year nearly 100 new stations were added to our network roster —- and as we begin 2018 we are proud to share that America’s #1 Travel Radio Show is now reaching over 375+ weekly affiliates.
