Podcast Radio has seen an expansion since coming to the U.S. with Krantz Media Group. After debuting with Beasley Media Group stations, it recently expanded to select Alpha Media stations. Now, it’s linking up with Local Radio Networks for increased distribution.
“We are beyond excited to be partnering with LRN. Our respective teams have engaged like kindred spirits in the sharing of tech and platform advancements,” said Podcast Radio CEO Gerry Edwards. “We cannot wait to hear Podcast Radio brands executing on the LRN platform that will allow stations an unparalleled degree of programming flexibility that is simply not common in the Talk syndication industry.”
“We’re excited to partner with Podcast Radio to bring this innovative format to our partners and broadcast groups,” added LRN President and CEO Steve Swick. “It’s an excellent opportunity to diversify our 24/7 Music Formats and content offerings and introduce a fresh, dynamic listening experience to our audience and affiliates alike across radio dials.”
With the new collaboration, Podcast Radio will be available from LRN via its distribution platform for affiliate stations.
“We are excited to expand Podcast Radio’s presence into Local Radio Network’s ecosystem,” said Krantz Media Group CEO Gary Krantz. “Together, we’re creating a new way for listeners to discover and enjoy the best in podcast content through the familiar and trusted medium of radio.”
