Premiere Radio Networks is an American radio network. It is the largest syndication company in the United States based on popularity of programming. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of Clear Channel Communications and it was headed until recently by Kraig Kitchin who is currently transitioning out, handing the reins over to CC Executive Charlie Rahilly.

Premiere syndicates some of the most famous names in American broadcasting, including Rush Limbaugh, Coast to Coast AM, Bob Costas, Dr. Laura, and Glenn Beck. Premiere programs are carried on over 5000 radio stations worldwide, primarily in the United States and in Canada. The network also provides the rights to streaming audio for participating shows' premium services (e.g., Rush Limbaugh's "Rush 24/7" and Glenn Beck's "Insider") through their system called Streamlink.

Several programs are carried on XM Satellite Radio, which is the exclusive satellite provider for Premiere.
