OZY stories on a wide range of topics will now be featured on iHeartMedia morning shows across 150 markets. The new partnership also includes promotion across iHeartMedia’s multiplatform network.

“We are impressed with OZY’s rapid growth, diverse content and versatility across platforms, especially in today’s competitive media landscape,” said Joe Robinson, President of Ventures for iHeartMedia. “We are excited to partner with OZY, and with our massive reach of a quarter of a billion listeners a month across the country, this partnership gives us the opportunity to share even more critical news and information with our diverse audience.”

iHeartMedia and OZY will also work together to co-produce iHeartRadio Original podcasts and develop shared revenue opportunities for advertisers.
