An attractive option for broadcasters

With genre-based content that can be customized to fit local audiences, Podcast Radio offers stations a unique listening experience. Its cloud-based delivery via LRN’s RVC platform ensures seamless integration with existing station automation systems.
Gary Krantz, CEO of KMG Networks, overseeing Podcast Radio’s syndication plans, commented, “We’re thrilled to expand our Alpha Media partnership in Minnesota. The genre-specific hours give stations flexibility while the variety blocks bring the best of the diverse podcast world to radio using innovative formatting.”
