Skyview Upfront “Experience Momentum” focused on storytelling, podcasting, and announcements

We received a rundown of the Experience Momentum event at the Park Hyatt in New York, produced by Skyview Networks to show off its audio opportunities for advertisers. Skyview represents over 5,700 affiliates, with CBS Audio and ABC Audio two of its major clients.

Steve Jones, formerly VP and GM of ABC News, moved to Skyview in March, retaining his collaboration with Amplifi Media (Steve Goldstein’s company) which executive-produced the Start Here news podcast at ABC. One of the audio products highlighted by Jones for 2020 was Inside Frozen II.

A notable announcement from the event: Skyview Networks is taking over ad representation for the CBS Audio podcast portfolio, which includes a mix of original and catch-up podcasts across 20 shows. One of the is Mobituaries with Mo Rocca.

Country trio Runaway June was in the house for a music performance. Most of the celebrity speakers were broadcast personalities from CBS and ABC.
