Audacy Teams Up With Eisen
• Audacy announced a new distribution partnership with The Rich Eisen Show, becoming the program’s first free streaming audio partner. Owned and operated by the 2021 Sports Emmy nominee for “Best Studio Host” and long-time host of NFL Network, The Rich Eisen Show can be heard live weekdays from noon-3pm ET and features a mix of sports, humor and pop culture. In addition to Eisen’s live show, an on-demand podcast version of the weekday show and his new podcast, Just Getting Started are now also available on Audacy.
“Rich’s show is a terrific addition to our Audacy platform and reinforces our position as the unrivaled leader in local and national sports audio content,” said Jeff Sottolano, Audacy EVP of Programming. “We’re thrilled to bring Rich’s mix of sports and culture to our audience, just in time for this week’s NFL Draft.”
Eisen commented, “I could not be more thrilled to be partnering with Audacy to bring my show and podcasts to the millions of ears they have listening on their platform 24/7. I would say I can’t wait to just get started with them, but it all starts immediately, so that’s quite exciting.”
The Rich Eisen Show will continue to originate from its HQ in scenic El Segundo, CA, where it has lived since it launched in 2014, with all three hours of the show also airing live on NBC Sports on Peacock weekdays from noon-3pm ET.
