WMG Launches New Podcast Network
• Warner Music Group (WMG) unveiled its new podcast network, Interval Presents, which will produce multi-format, culture-forward audio content at the intersection of music, pop culture, and social impact. Allan Coye, WMG SVP of Digital Strategy & Business Development will oversee Interval Presents as General Manager.

This is just the beginning and as we grow, we hope to stay true to our roots in music while also using audio artistry as a vehicle to explore new terrains of storytelling, and ultimately, connect deeply with our audience.”
Oana Ruxandra, WMG Chief Digital Officer & EVP of Business Development, commented, “Interval Presents is a natural progression of Warner Music Group’s long history of producing generation-defining music, supporting creatives, and driving culture. There’s a hunger for more inclusive and authentic podcast content and, with Allan leading the charge, we’re thrilled to launch an audio platform that will connect with this growing audience and spotlight a breadth of voices and perspectives.”
The first slate of podcasts from Interval Presents, which will roll out throughout the year, will include shows hosted by Oscar-winning actress Lupita Nyong’o, Grammy-nominated singer Jason Derulo and Grammy-nominated songwriter and entrepreneur Billy Mann. WMG’s labels and digital editorial brands will retain autonomy and continue to produce podcast content under their own banners, while also exploring opportunities to work alongside Interval Presents on projects and initiatives.
