PodcastOne And Dr. Phil’s Envoy Media Co. Join Forces to Launch New Television, DTC and Podcast-Based Original and Owned Content Network
LiveOne (NASDAQ: LVO) announced today that its subsidiary PodcastOne (NASDAQ: PODC) and Dr. Phil’s Envoy Media Co. have partnered to launch a co-branded multi-platform podcast network. The networks’ multiple original and owned content lineup debuts later this month with an all-new daily Dr. Phil Podcast to millions of global digital listeners, distributed across Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, iHeartRadio, Amazon Music, PodcastOne, as well as LiveOne’s streaming video network.
In addition, all new Envoy podcast content will be broadcast on the company’s national TV networks. These include subscription-based Envoy TV, via Charter/Spectrum Cable in 41 top US markets (e.g. New York, Los Angeles, Dallas, etc.), on national VMVPD Frndly TV, and to over 110 million homes-connected devices via Envoy FAST. The free streaming network premiered last month on national providers Samsung TV Plus, Local Now and Vidaa (on Hisense TV).
The partnership combines PodcastOne’s top-tier creators with Dr. Phil’s comprehensive national media presence and mass scale social reach (10M Facebook, 6.4M YouTube subscribers, 7.6M TikTok, 1.6M X -Twitter, and 1.4M Instagram followers), delivering a fully integrated podcast listening, viewing and advertising suite across TV, streaming and digital platforms. In addition to the universally known Dr. Phil, the network will create original daily audio and video content cross-leveraging the companies’ combined talent rosters and programming including Adam Carolla, Brendan Schaub, Jordan Harbinger, The Dr. Gundry Show, “YOUR WELCOME” with Michael Malice, A+E’s Cold Case Files, Chrisley Confessions, Unlocked with Savannah Chrisley and Varnamtown.
Rob Ellin, CEO of LiveOne said, “Dr. Phil is one of the very few true media icons, and his pioneering work in delivering #1 ranked content for early podcast listeners helped shape this still fast-expanding business. By combining his unparalleled reach, influence, and massive evergreen library with PodcastOne’s top ten creator ecosystem, together we’re building an unprecedented new business delivering top-tier global scale and engagement across all popular media platforms.”
Dr. Phil remarked, “PodcastOne’s legendary heritage, winning management team and ability to quickly build and expand new franchises make them the perfect partner to evolve the way we bring my content and original Envoy Media programming to audiences everywhere. Together, we’ll grow both companies by delivering daily stories, insights, and entertainment to millions of podcast fans, however they listen and watch.”
The new network creates a scalable original content launchpad for established stars and emerging creators alike, with broad combined promotional reach enabling maximum awareness while powering custom-integrated advertising sponsorships.
