Audacy has sold its Radio.com domain. Initially placed in auction in 2022, the auction ended this past March without a successful bid. The minimum bid had been set at $2.5 million.
The domain was obtained when it transferred to Entercom with the purchase of CBS radio stations in 2017. The site was initially used as the company’s primary host for its radio stations.
After an update to the company-wide mobile app in 2020, it was sidelined when Entercom rebranded as Audacy in 2021.
The purchaser or the price has not been revealed. A check today shows that the Radio.com domain is still forwarding to Audacy.com.
Radio.com was initially registered in 1996 by Internet Multicasting Service. Later that year, the platform and TV.com were sold to CNET Networks for $30,000.
In 2008, CBS completed the acquisition of CNET. Two years later, in 2010, the network introduced Radio.com, designed as a comprehensive streaming directory for all CBS stations.
