TuneIn’s 75 million monthly listeners will have access to the full suite of Cumulus content beginning today.
“As the world’s leader in live digital audio, we are thrilled to provide our listeners access to some of the best live station programming across sports, news, talk and music and entertainment, as well as popular podcasts and other on-demand content offered by Cumulus Media,” TuneIn CEO John Donham said. “We look forward to a long and successful partnership as we grow the next chapter of the audio business together.”
“We understand that consumers engage with content across multiple platforms and devices. We put our listeners first, and we have made it our mission to provide a modern and platform-agnostic listening experience,” said Mary G. Berner, president and CEO at Cumulus Media. “Expanding our partnership with TuneIn takes our distribution and promotional opportunities to the next level, exposing our portfolio of leading stations, shows and programs to new fans across streaming, podcast, and voice AI technologies.”
