Metro Networks was a broadcasting outsourcing company based in Houston, Texas.

At the time of the sale to Clear Channel Communications, Metro Networks had approximately 2,300 radio affiliates and 170 television affiliates operating in nearly every major radio and television market of the United States, as well as 700+ websites.

In addition to offering live and recorded broadcasting reports, Metro Networks operated its own news wire service, Metro Source, rebranded by Clear Channel as 24/7 News Source.

24/7 News Source provides hundreds of radio stations and websites with national, state, feature and local stories, including audio and photos.

On April 29, 2011, Westwood One sold Metro Networks to Clear Channel Communications for $119.25 million so it can concentrate on their other properties.
