Narrative:
After clearing runway 34, onto taxiway C at the white plains (hpn) airport in new york state, you are required to contact ramp operations on 122.95 and company operations on 130.40 also due after landing checklist. The tower never instructed us to contact ground control, so after contacting ramp operations we taxied to our parking spot. Ramp told us to call ground, ground asked us next time to call ground before taxiing in. The distance from taxiway C to parking is only about 200 ft, plus the radio calls and checklists, makes for a hurried cockpit. We should not be required to call a ramp controller and ground controller to taxi 200 ft to our parking spot.
