America Welcomes Rob & Holly
• Audacy and United Stations Media Networks continue to expand their strategic alliance with the announcement that Rob and Holly will be the third daily daypart show — and second in the Country format — to be rolled out into national network distribution by the companies. This launch follows similar syndication efforts for Katie & Company in the Country format and The Ed Lover Experience for Hip-Hop and Throwback stations.
Rob and Holly are now delivering a daily show in content segments so that affiliates can program their own music. Rob Stone and Holly Hutton have been on the air together since 2016, originating from Audacy flagship 99.5 WYCD/Detroit weeknights from 7-midnight and currently heard on 20 Audacy stations nationwide, including WUSN (US99)/Chicago, 107.9 KMLE/Phoenix and WUSY (US101)/Chattanooga, TN.
Audacy EVP/Head of Programming Jeff Sottolano commented, “Rob and Holly are extremely talented, and their daily show has been a fantastic asset for our Country brands. We’re excited to see their engaging program expand into other markets and know participating stations will enjoy the same success we have seen.”
United Stations’ SVP/Content and Affiliations Stefan Jones added, “We’ve seen increasing demand for content-driven, customizable segmented shows that have demonstrated success in major markets and Rob + Holly have the appeal, the talent and the skills to really win everywhere.” For more info about Rob & Holly, contact Andy Denemark at andyd@unitedstations.com.
