- Apr 9, 2024: After SB Nation’s announced closure of the network’s local sports podcasts, are these types of shows doomed? Not so fast: the Locked On Podcast Network says the local sports podcast model is thriving.
- Mar 28, 2024: Correction: Yesterday, we said that the Locked On Podcast Network were represented by Libsyn Ads before they signed with Adswizz. We based this on a page on the Libsyn Ads website which sold “a full network buy” of the Locked On Network. That page was deleted after we published yesterday; and both companies say that Locked On did not work with Libsyn Ads, so we clearly got things wrong and we regret the error. We’re told they were with Spotify/Megaphone.
