Beasley Launches ‘Podcast Radio’ Stations
These stations and digital channels will be branded as Podcast Radio Detroit, Podcast Radio Tampa Bay, Podcast Radio Carolinas, and Podcast Radio Southwest Florida, respectively, and each region’s podcast content will be supported with localized imaging, promos, and ID’s.
Podcast Radio will showcase the very best produced and popular podcasts from the U.S. and internationally, including audio content from TedAudio (TedTalk), Wondery, Evergreen, Corus, and more. The service will also feature live “Podjocks,” including former longtime KROQ/Los Angeles morning co-host/Radio Hall of Famer Gene “Bean” Baxter. This initiative with Beasley is the first of its kind for the company in the U.S., and this unique format will now be offered to radio stations and groups on a network/barter basis via KMG Networks, while AdLarge Media has been selected to facilitate the network ad sales.
Gerry Edwards, Founder & CEO of Podcast Radio, commented, “We are beyond excited to be working with Beasley as a forward-thinking and innovative company. Caroline, the team, and Beasley’s great station brands will make fantastic first movers into the Podcast Radio format as they embrace this unique new radio content as a leader in both broadcast and digital.”
Gary Krantz, Founder & CEO of KMG/KMG Networks, noted, “KMG and Podcast Radio is excited to partner with Beasley Media Group to be the first to bring this proven and innovative idea to the U.S. When we evaluated the business opportunity in America, it was their forward-looking team that shared our vision immediately and stepped up to work collaboratively to execute this across key regions within the Beasley Media Group platform.”
Cathy Csukas, CEO of AdLarge Media, remarked, “This collaboration underscores AdLarge’s commitment to delivering exceptional advertising solutions to our clients. We are poised to unlock new opportunities for advertisers, enabling them to reach their target audiences through premium content.” Fans may also stream these first four custom stations and discover new podcasts via PodcastRadioUS.com.
