a nationally syndicated talk show that aired on Talk Radio Network across the United States until 2021
The show did not remain on Talk Radio Network until 2021. Michael Savage left TRN in 2012, and later broadcasts were distributed by Cumulus/Westwood One.
Full reasoning
This overstates Talk Radio Network's role by about eight years.
Michael Savage's own site republishes a Newsmax report on his final radio broadcast stating that, at the end of 2020, his show "will no longer be heard via the Westwood One broadcast radio distribution system." That means the program was being distributed by Westwood One at the end of its radio run, not by Talk Radio Network.
A separate Newsmax report from 2015 also described The Savage Nation as a show hosted by Savage that had renewed with Cumulus Media's syndicator Westwood One. So while TRN did syndicate the show earlier in its history, the claim that it aired on TRN "until 2021" is incorrect.
The accurate version would be that The Savage Nation aired until late 2020/early 2021, but its TRN syndication had ended years earlier.
