Audacy, Inc. ETMWI

Company Overview

Audacy, Inc. is a U.S.-based audio and media company focused on radio broadcasting, digital audio, podcasting, and integrated advertising solutions. The company operates in the broader media, entertainment, and advertising industries, with core activities centered on producing and distributing audio content across terrestrial radio, streaming platforms, podcasts, and live events. Audacy generates revenue primarily through advertising sales, sponsorships, digital audio monetization, and network affiliations. Its portfolio includes local and national radio brands, sports and news programming, music stations, and podcast content aimed at both consumer and enterprise advertising audiences.

The company traces its origins to Entercom Communications, which was founded in 1968 and grew through acquisitions of local radio stations across the United States. A transformational merger with CBS Radio in 2017 significantly expanded the company’s national footprint and major-market presence. In 2021, Entercom rebranded as Audacy to reflect its strategic emphasis on digital audio and multi-platform distribution. Audacy has positioned itself as one of the largest radio broadcasters in the United States by station count and market reach, with strengths in local market relationships, sports broadcasting rights, and integrated audio advertising capabilities.
