Audacy

The company operates a hybrid media and technology business model. On the media side, it owns radio stations and podcast studios, producing and aggregating audio content (broadcast, streaming, podcasts, sports, and iGaming-related content) that it distributes through its own consumer-facing platform and third-party endpoints. This creates large-scale audio inventory and first-party listener data. On the technology side, it operates a streaming and monetisation platform for publishers, a creator-focused podcast hosting and marketplace product, and data and attribution services for advertisers.

Value is created by aggregating audiences, content, and inventory across broadcast and digital audio, and by enabling advertisers to run targeted, measurable campaigns across this footprint. Revenue comes from selling advertising (local and national), packaging inventory into cross-channel campaigns, providing data and attribution services, and selling or licensing its streaming and ad-tech stack to other publishers. Acquisitions in podcast production, creator marketplaces, sports data, and streaming technology support this integrated media-plus-ad-tech model.

It also sells technology and data services to other publishers and advertisers, and offers production and campaign services through its podcast and creator-focused units.
