- May 13: iHeartMedia released its Q1/25 earnings. Podcast revenue was $116mn, up 28% year-on-year - representing 14.3% of the company’s total revenue (this time last year, that was 11.3%). The company still has debt of $4.6bn. It plans $150mn of cost savings this year: 10% of those savings will come from the digital audio group (but 65% from the legacy broadcast division). In analysis, Chris Peterson says podcasting is driving the company.
- Apr 30: iHeartMedia, iHeartRadio and iHeartPodcasts have slightly new logos, with a new typeface. (The way to tell is to look at the “i” of “iHeart” - the old version has a curved top, while the new version is square). The company has updated its “listen to this podcast on iHeartRadio” buttons.
