  • Audacy Reports First Quarter Results
    For Immediate Release Investor Contacts: May 7, 2021 Joseph Jaffoni, Jennifer Neuman, Norberto Aja JCIR (212) 835-8500 [email protected] AUDACY REPORTS FIRST QUARTER RESULTS Philadelphia, PA — Audacy, Inc. (NYSE: AUD) today reported financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. From David J. Field, President and Chief Executive Officer, Audacy: “The year has gotten off to an active start as we successfully completed the rebranding of the company to Audacy, reflecting our transformational progress into a leading, multi-platform audio content and entertainment company with scaled audience reach and a leadership position in virtually every key segment of the dynamic and growing audio market.” “We are in the midst of a strong, albeit uneven, advertising recovery reflecting the nature of our business mix. First quarter digital revenues grew 17% and national revenues rebounded to prior year levels, but local ad revenues remained behind as many of our customers continue to be impacted by the pandemic. Because the local radio advertiser base is weighted toward later- stage recovery categories including restaurants, concerts and entertainment, movies, travel, and theme parks, we anticipate a strong recovery of local advertising across these businesses during the third and fourth quarters.” “Our second quarter pacings are up more than 60% over 2020 reflecting massive improvements across all segments of our business from the depressed levels of the prior year. In another strong sign of recovery, our average local customer spending levels are now exceeding their average 2019 spending levels. Total local ad spending is down because of a decline in the number of customers with a significant majority of those inactive accounts concentrated in later-stage recovery business categories.” “During the quarter, we announced and completed the acquisition of Podcorn, the country’s #1 podcast influencer marketplace hosting over 44,000 podcast creators, substantially bolstering our customer product offerings.

  • 'Heaven's Gate' Documentary Podcast Tells the Stories of the People
    ‘Heaven’s Gate’ documentary podcast tells the stories of the people behind the infamous cult Oct. 18, 2017 NEW YORK CITY – Stitcher has launched “Heaven’s Gate,” a 10-part documentary podcast series that tells, for the first time, the complete, fascinating story behind cult members’ 1997 mass suicide, the largest in U.S. history. “Heaven’s Gate” is about what happened to an idealistic group who aspired to a better, more connected and spiritually meaningful life. Host Glynn Washington, who also hosts the popular podcasts “Snap Judgment” and “Spooked,” brings a unique perspective to the story of Heaven’s Gate: he was raised in a cult. “I’ve experienced firsthand how the line between ‘normal’ and ‘zealot’ is thinner than we imagine,” said Washington. “This project feels deeply personal to me. In investigating the story of Heaven’s Gate, I get to examine my own.” Washington interviews a range of important figures in the story, including former Heaven’s Gate members, their families and some who still believe in the group’s theological principles. Terrie Nettles, daughter of cult co-founder Bonnie Lu Nettles, talks about living with the legacy of a mother who, to some, was a god. Ben Zeller, the leading scholar of Heaven’s Gate, reveals the inner workings of the religion and explains why it was so hard to pry some people away from it. And the documentary features never-before-heard tapes from co-founder Marshall “Herff” Applewhite, revealing some of his own questions and struggles. The podcast is produced by Stitcher and Pineapple Street Media, the team behind 2017’s hit podcast “Missing Richard Simmons.” Sun Basket is the show’s presenting sponsor.
