Drake-Chenault Enterprises (originally
American Independent Radio Inc.) was a radio
syndication company that specialized in
automation on
FM radio stations. The company was founded in the late-1960s by
radio programmer and
deejay Bill Drake (1937–2008), and his business partner, Lester Eugene Chenault (1919–2010). Drake-Chenault was the predecessor of
Jones Radio Networks with its syndicated satellite-delivered formats.
