Radio Express is an independent radio syndication company based in Pasadena, California, whose main focus is in markets outside the U.S. The company was founded by Tom Rounds, one of the creators of American Top 40. Radio Express was created in 1985 as a way to distribute AT40 to stations outside the United States, three years after ABC Radio Networks acquired AT40's production company, Watermark Inc.[1]

The company also handles syndication outside the US for American radio programs such as The Rick Dees Weekly Top 40, Full Throttle Radio, The Dave Koz Radio Show, Bob Kingsley's Country Top 40 and American Country Countdown, as well as for major international special events such as the Live 8 and Live Earth concerts.
