Tegna said today that it has acquired Locked On Podcast Network, a podcast network for local sports. Locked On produces daily shows for every team across the four major professional sports leagues, as well as more than 30 college sports programs.
Locked On will expand Tegna’s presence in the quickly growing podcast market, joining digital content studio Vault Studios and stations’ podcasting efforts, and build on Tegna’s overall sports footprint.
“Local communities are at the heart of what we do, and nothing brings communities together like local sports. That’s why we’re very pleased to welcome Locked On to Tegna,” said Dave Lougee, Tegna president-CEO. “We look forward to growing the Locked On network through collaboration with our local stations, including the potential for video simulcasts of shows, and further increasing distribution, engagement and monetization of these fan favorite podcasts.”
