The story

Founded in 1983 as POP Radio, ISAN was acquired by Heritage Media in 1990. The company was merged into Heritage subsidiary ActRadio, before Heritage was acquired by News America Marketing, a division of News Corporation, in 1997. Then known as the InStore Broadcasting Network, the company was spun off from News America Marketing in 2003, sold to Gary Seem and Jeff Shapiro. Its headquarters relocated from Salt Lake City to Princeton, New Jersey in 2014.

ISAN was acquired by Montreal-based Stingray Group in January 2022. The ISAN brand was phased out later that year, with the service rebranded as Stingray Advertising.
