"Listen Notes recorded 7,967 new podcasts in May, down roughly 30% from April and 60% below May 2025 levels. New shows represented just 0.198% of all tracked podcasts — the lowest monthly share in at least 13 months."
"While I am stepping away from OutKick, the platform is in a tremendous position to continue building upon its success and reach an even wider audience as it takes its next step as a vertical within FOX News Digital."
iHeart’s CEO Bob Pittman commented on the company’s Q3 earnings call to Barrington Research’s Jim Goss: “There’s not a slot for everybody.” Let that sink in.
"Yes, it makes sense financially, I guess, if you're going to be the person who has to make those cuts. But, God, you're losing so much, and the station's losing so much, and everyone listening is losing so much."
"I understand that this company is simply reorganizing and I was part of that. So I hold no bad feelings. I actually hold nothing but positive feelings about the company."
After 32 years, iHeartMedia announced the retirement of Jeff Littlejohn, who most recently held the position of Executive Vice President of Engineering.
