Audacy Kicks Off Audacy Sports
• On the heels of Audacy’s recent unveiling of Audacy Podcasts, a move to consolidate its podcast production and go-to-market monetization approach, the Company announced a similar move with the launch of Audacy Sports “to deliver a powerful selling proposition to the ad-buying marketplace.”
“We’re thrilled to bring together our unrivaled sports portfolio under Audacy Sports,” said Lee Davis, Audacy SVP of Sports Monetization. “Consolidating our cross-platform sellable assets under one name creates a compelling opportunity for brands to connect with listeners at scale — through our digital and broadcast network platforms or locally, through our owned sports stations — wherever and whenever they tune into Audacy content.”
Audacy Sports is powered by the Company’s portfolio of 40 owned-and-operated all-Sports stations and affiliates, 160 sports streaming channels on the Audacy app, and Audacy’s sports podcast network featuring over 600 titles and live events. Audacy Sports also serves as the home to 150 pro and collegiate teams, and produces two national multiplatform sports networks, both distributed in partnership with Westwood One: Infinity Sports Network (formerly CBS Sports Radio) and BetQL Network. Audacy Sports also proudly serves as the official audio and podcast partner of Major League Baseball.
Audacy Sports officially launches at the 2024 NFL Draft in Detroit, where, throughout the week, Audacy Sports will host its own Radio Row with several of its leading brands, publish a bunch of podcast episodes previewing the Draft and analyzing each round and team results, deliver betting analysis from BetQL Network and host a private, intimate concert with Jelly Roll at The Fillmore.
