Audacy becomes the exclusive rep for Fox News Audio’s linear talk stream under an expanded affiliate partnership. The network’s linear talk radio streaming content will migrate to AmperWave, Audacy’s cloud-based distribution and monetization platform for live and on-demand audio streams. AmperWave is the re-branded digital audio ad server and streaming business
Audacy bought from WideOrbit for $40 million in October 2021.
The updated agreement also makes Audacy the exclusive third-party ad sales representation of Fox News Audio’s streaming inventory on the audio network’s digital properties.
“Audacy knows that our industry is changing with listeners consuming more audio on streams than ever before,” Audacy VP of Business Development Corey Podolsky said in a release. “As a strategic partner, we are excited to lean into that industry shift with Fox News Audio to deliver new capabilities via our AmperWave streaming platform. Coupled with our ability to now offer world-class hosting and ad serving capabilities, this will take our relationship to a whole new level.”
