“This moment is not just a change of sign, but a sign of change. Our new brand encapsulates who we’ve become in audio and will guide our forward aspirations,” said Paul Suchman, Chief Marketing Officer, Audacy. “We are bringing it to life across all touchpoints inside and outside the organization and look forward to delivering on its promise every day.”
As it begins the next chapter in its journey, Audacy today made a number of additional content and product announcements. These include:
| • | | An exclusive podcast partnership with global pop icon Demi Lovato, an incredible artist whose tremendous talent, transparency and honesty has earned her millions of devoted fans around the world. Demi will host her first-ever podcast with Cadence13, which will be produced by OBB Sound, the audio division of OBB Media, and SB Projects. More details coming in May. |
| • | | New original podcasts and other projects that will air exclusively on Audacy’s digital platform including new shows from Boomer Esiason, Big Tigger and “The Rich Eisen Show,” as well as a revamped “Loveline” set to debut this summer. Additionally, a number of original podcasts will launch exclusively in a bingeable window on Audacy’s app. |
| • | | A partnership with BetMGM, further cementing Audacy’s dominant position in sports betting and entertainment. This follows last week’s announcement of a partnership with Rush Street Interactive. |
| • | | A partnership with Irving Azoff’s Global Music Rights, which will enable the company to add significantly enhanced on-demand and other interactive features to its digital platform. |
Audacy engages over 170 million consumers each month across its connected platform including the Audacy app and website, over 230 radio stations across 47 markets, influential chart-topping podcasts and premium live music experiences.
The company’s ticker symbol will change from ETM to AUD effective on or about Friday, April 9, 2021. Along with the name Entercom, effective today, the company will also sunset the RADIO.COM brand and align its direct-to-consumer platform under Audacy. Cadence13, Pineapple Street Studios, BetQL and Podcorn remain market-facing brands.
No action is required by existing shareholders with respect to the name and ticker symbol change. Certificates representing common shares of Entercom will not need to be exchanged as a result of the name change.
