Audacy and Fox News will expand their affiliated partnership with a new deal that would transfer Fox’s long-form talk streaming to Audacy’s Amperwave distribution platform.

Furthermore, the extended deal also makes Audacy the exclusive third-party ad sales representation of FOX News Audio’s streaming products on the audio network’s digital outlet.

“Audacy knows that our industry is changing with listeners consuming more audio on streams than ever before,” Corey Podolsky, Vice President of Business Development, Audacy, said in a press release obtained by Barrett Media

“As a strategic partner, we are excited to lean into that industry shift with FOX News Audio to deliver new capabilities via our AmperWave streaming platform. Coupled with our ability to now offer world-class hosting and ad serving capabilities, this will take our relationship to a whole new level.”

Finally, this new agreement will see FOX News Audio a trifecta of benefits: streaming capabilities, sales representation, and new capabilities for live broadcasts on its streaming services. 

“We’re thrilled to expand our partnership with Audacy and collaborate on serving the growing needs of our listeners,” William Sanchez, Audio Executive Director of Business Development and Digital Audio Operations, FOX News, said. “We look forward to improving our audience’s experience with AmperWave’s hosting technology on our platforms.”

77 WABC Cancels The Rudy Giuliani Show After Continued Discussion of 2020 Election Results

“We’re not going to talk about fallacies of the November 2020 election. We warned him once. We warned him twice.”

According to a report from The New York Times, 77 WABC has ended the afternoon show hosted by former New York Mayor and Donald Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani.

The program — heard from 3-4 PM ET — was hosted by Curtis Sliwa Friday, but still used The Rudy Giuliani Show branding.

According to the Times report, station owner John Catsimatidis had continually told the former New York mayor not to air discussions about the 2020 presidential election, which Rudy Giuliani has continually shared he did not believe the results were valid. He has been criminally charged in both Georgia and Arizona for his role in attempting to overturn the results that went against the former President.

“We’re not going to talk about fallacies of the November 2020 election. We warned him once. We warned him twice,” Catsimatidis told the newspaper. “And I get a text from him last night, and I get a text from him this morning that he refuses not to talk about it. So, he left me no option. I suspended him.”

While he noted he “liked the guy as a person,” Catsimatidis said he couldn’t allow the former New York mayor “to cross that line.”

After more than a decade with the station, Jennifer York is departing her morning show co-host role on KNX News.

York began her media career at Good Morning America as a producer, before departing the field to work as a musician at Disneyland. She later began her traffic report career at KFWB and KTLA before joining KFSH. She ultimately landed at KNX News in 2012 and worked alongside Dick Helton until his 2022 retirement. She was then paired with Vicky Moore and Mike Simpson for a revamped LA’s Morning News.

Brand Manager Alex Silverman shared that York was exiting the station to follow “her calling to become a full-time therapist.”

“GOOD LUCK to an amazing colleague and better human!,” he wrote in a social media post.

Mark Arum: I’d Love to Be a College Commencement Speaker

“You don’t have to pay for lodging, food, nothing. I just want an honorary doctorate degree.”

Late last week, SiriusXM and CNN host Michael Smerconish revealed he had been uninvited to give a commencement address at a small Pennsylvania college. 95.5 WSB host Mark Arum just wants to be invited to give a speech.

While discussing pushback that President Joe Biden is receiving from Morehouse College students that he was selected as the college’s commencement speaker, The Mark Arum Show host said it is something he has always wanted to do.

“I will do it free,” Arum said. “You don’t have to pay me for travel. You don’t have to pay for lodging, food, nothing. I just want an honorary doctorate degree. And I’d be very happy to give a commencement speech somewhere. That’s an open offer to anyone out there.”

Radio hosts aren’t an uncommon commencement speaker as one might think.

Longtime Philadelphia sports radio host Howard Eskin spoke at the graduation at Goldey-Beacom College last week and was awarded the honorary doctorate degree that Arum is chasing.

Meanwhile, in Smerconish’s case, he said a passage from his 2004 book about travel safety procedures after 9/11 was the reason he was viewed as too controversial of a candidate for Dickinson College to host as its commencement speaker.
