- Apr 16: Audioboom released a trading update for Q1/26. Revenue is up +30% year-on-year to another record of $22.5mn; the company made $4.8mn profit (up +41%). However, Audioboom describes video - up +70% in views - as "lower-yield"; revenue per thousand downloads is down from $60.83 to $45.10 as a result of more video and more downloads within the UK, which historically monetises less well than the US. The company recently signed Crooked Media and true-crime show RedHanded.
