Latest news
- Feb 12: The IAB Tech Lab repeatedly tells us that annual recertification remains a requirement, yet iHeart’s Voxnest, Spreaker and Omny Studio were last certified in 2021; and iHeart’s Triton Digital has not recertified since 2022. (Apple, Spotify and YouTube have never certified).
- Nov 14, 2024: BlogTalkRadio is to close on Jan 31. One of the earliest podcast and live-streaming hosts, it launched in January 2006. It merged with Spreaker in August 2017; Voxnest bought Spreaker in 2018; iHeart bought Voxnest in 2020. Most recently it’s been part of Triton Digital. In August this year, it hosted 3,293 podcasts.
- May 6, 2021: In the US, iHeartMedia has launched its own Private Marketplace, allowing advertisers to buy shows across the iHeartPodcast Network. Using Voxnest, it allows geo-targeting and "psychographic" targeting (only want "intrepid" listeners? Or "conquerors"?) We wonder if it can also target people who've had their first COVID-19 vaccination and are feeling a bit sleept.
- Feb 26, 2021: Conal Byrne becomes CEO of the iHeartMedia Digital Audio Group, and Darren Davis will serve as COO. This unit includes the apps and websites, podcasts, Voxnest, and will also include Triton Digital.
- Oct 26, 2020: iHeartMedia is to acquire Voxnest. Voxnest will provide dynamic ad serving for iHeartRadio's podcasts and analytics. Voxnest also owns Spreaker, the 6th largest podcast host with 61,000 shows, and BlogTalkRadio, with a further 8,300. Terms weren't disclosed.
