Westwood One Launches Female Empowerment Network

With women making political waves, WWO introduces "Run Like a Girl" -- an Empow(h)er Podcast Network series that shines a nonpartisan light on women running for office. Each week listeners will meet a different woman candidate who is running the race of her life. In addition, through Election Day, the series will give listeners access to the Gretchen Whitmer campaign, one of the most competitive gubernatorial contests in the country, in Michigan. Several brands are already supporting the show.
Another featured podcast in the line-up is "On Her Turf," from NBC Sports Group. The show is based on the popular Instagram account of the same name. It celebrates female athletes and inspires all women to be the best version of themselves, on and off the field. The series kicks off September 19.
"NBC Sports Group is very excited to partner with Westwood One to build a community of avid supporters of female athletes, championing the cause of equality in all its forms," said NBC Sports Group CMO Jenny Storms. "This show celebrates female athletes with the attention, acclaim, and accolades they deserve, on and off the field -- inspiring the next generations of amazing women."
"It's undeniable that women are a cultural force with momentum like never before, which is why the time is now to launch The Empow(h)er Podcast Network," said Suzanne Grimes, Executive Vice President, Marketing for Cumulus Media and President of Westwood One. "Women are listening to more podcasts than ever, and brands recognize this, as many have already come on board to support women and this new network."
