NEW YORK — June 26, 2026 — iHeartMedia today announced an expanded advertising relationship with Amazon Ads, serving as a local reseller of its audio and video inventory, including Prime Video, Twitch, Amazon Music, Fire TV and Alexa.  Additionally, iHeartMedia customers can now leverage Amazon DSP including Amazon’s authenticated first-party shopping, browsing and streaming signals across iHeart’s owned-and-operated digital inventory both locally and nationally, including digital, audio, podcasts and creator-led content, creating a more unified path for advertisers to activate multi-platform campaigns at scale.

Incorporating Amazon’s authenticated signals into iHeartMedia’s premium inventory allows advertisers to access solutions supported by real shopping insights. These signals help improve relevance and performance across campaigns for enhanced audience planning, targeting, and measurement, all while creating flexible, integrated programs designed to deliver both scale and precision. 

“Advertisers are increasingly looking for media solutions that combine scale, intelligence and simplicity across channels. By combining Amazon Ads’ shopping insights and advertising technology with iHeart’s audio leadership, we’re creating a more seamless, data-informed way for brands to create more effective campaigns across sound and sight,” said Lisa Coffey, Chief Business Officer for iHeartMedia. 

“This expansion of our long-standing relationship with iHeartMedia gives brands new opportunities to connect with consumers across more screens and speakers with greater relevance and measurable outcomes,” said Jenn Donohue, Head of Local Ad Sales, Amazon Ads. “Together, we’re making it easier for advertisers to activate campaigns across premium audio and streaming environments while leveraging signals that support smarter planning, targeting, and performance.”

This collaboration offers advertisers a simplified approach to activating campaigns across Amazon Ads’ audio and video inventory while also tapping into iHeartMedia’s creative production, strategic sales consultation and integrated marketing capabilities. 

New advertising capabilities connect broadcast radio to the digital ecosystem by enabling precise targeting and measurement, providing additional reach and scale for brands, and leveraging the live cultural moments created in broadcast

New York, NY – June 18, 2026 – iHeartMedia, the No. 1 audio company in America today unveiled AudioGraph™ a suite of advertising capabilities that, for the first time, will bring digital-like targeting, identity-based planning and measurement, and outcome-based attribution to broadcast radio at scale. These capabilities are powered by Triton Digital, the global technology and services leader.

The vast majority of audio consumption (64 percent) comes from broadcast radio, yet up until today, it has lacked the targeting and measurement infrastructure available in digital. iHeartMedia's broadcast radio stations reach more than 278 million consumers every month, and now with AudioGraph, for the first time, advertisers can plan, target, measure, and attribute that audience using privacy-safe, ID-informed insights with digital-like precision.

AudioGraph makes it possible by connecting a privacy-safe identity spine, enriched audience attributes built from TransUnion data, and proprietary ID-level listening models that enable planning and measurement at the listener level while activating campaigns at broadcast scale. Proof of concept shows that broadcast radio campaigns planned and measured using privacy-safe AudioGraph IDs can deliver a KPI outcome 75 percent higher than traditional demo-based plans.

"Audio has always delivered unmatched scale and human-to-human connection, but measurement and precision have lagged behind digital," said Lisa Coffey, Chief Business Officer for iHeartMedia. "With 9 out of 10 Americans listening to broadcast radio every month, it’s extremely important that buyers can access this scale and impact with the precision and efficiency of digital media. With AudioGraph, we've closed that gap. Marketers can now use audio as an addressable and measurable performance channel at a national scale; with the same accountability they expect from every other part of their media plan."

"This innovation plays into the demands of the digital ecosystem and how brands can now buy radio, addressable, measurable and automated,” said Vinny Rinaldi, Vice President of Consumer Connections for The Hershey Company. “Radio now has a chance to see its day, helping drive demand creation and new intent, for brands, aligned with the measurement architect of the rest of the digital ecosystem. AudioGraph, is a great innovation for the industry, bringing the massive scale of radio to help deliver against brand growth models, build on penetration and reaching genuinely new buyers."

AudioGraph is powered by three core capabilities: targeting, buying, and measurement:

Unmatched Scale, Now with Digital Precision

AudioGraph brings digital-like targeting to broadcast radio through custom ID-based audience segments built from first-party listener data and TransUnion's identity graph. These segments inform campaign planning and optimization using privacy-safe AudioGraph IDs, while advanced predictive listening models enable advertisers to reach audiences at scale with greater accuracy than traditional demo-based approaches.

These capabilities are now enabled across broadcast for the first time and extend to streaming and podcast environments, allowing brands to activate campaigns against consistent audience definitions across all of iHeartMedia's audio inventory.

A Modern, Digital Way to Buy Radio

AudioGraph supports multiple buying channels, making broadcast radio as efficient and easy to buy as digital media. The platform offers direct DSP connectivity – ensuring it operates seamlessly with today’s digital ecosystem – and is designed to integrate with the emerging agentic landscape. DSP connectivity is important to sit in the digital ecosystem as it is today.

"We're excited to build on our existing partnership with iHeartMedia by adding AudioGraph, bringing more precise targeting and measurement to broadcast radio," said Chandra Cirulnick, VP Strategic Partnerships at Yahoo DSP. "Our collaboration through Yahoo ConnectID has already improved match rates on iHeartMedia's digital inventory. Adding broadcast radio via AudioGraph means our clients can reach even broader audiences with measurable results."

Measurement Built for an Open Ecosystem

AudioGraph was built to be interoperable with the digital measurement ecosystem. The platform supports any measurement, attribution, or analytics partner that advertisers already work with. iHeartMedia has validated deeper integrations with preferred partners including Magellan AI, PlaceIQ, and GroundTruth, connecting audio exposure to real-world outcomes such as foot traffic and in-store visits for a national home improvement brand. Early results showed that AudioGraph-powered campaigns informed by ID-based planning and measurement, outperformed traditional demo-based buying.

“One of the biggest challenges for advertisers has been evaluating broadcast radio within a unified, cross-channel measurement framework,” said Cameron Hendrix, CEO and Co-Founder of Magellan AI. “AudioGraph helps close that gap by making radio listenership addressable and attributable within the same systems as digital and podcasting. That alignment gives marketers a way to translate their media mix into the same language, enabling a more complete view of performance and proving the incremental reach and value broadcast radio delivers.”

Additionally, iHeartMedia's Guaranteed Human commitment means every AudioGraph impression runs alongside content created by real hosts, real creators, and real communities, not AI-generated personalities or synthetic voices.

"It turns out that unlike TV, which was just a delivery system for programs, consumers think about radio differently. It's a companion," said Bob Pittman, Chairman and CEO of iHeartMedia. "There are more people listening today than 10 or 20 years ago, and that trust is something no technology can manufacture. AudioGraph lets advertisers harness trust and unparalleled reach harness that trust with the precision and proof the modern marketplace demands."

Triton Digital created AudioGraph as an industry wide solution that will be deployed across the broadcast radio landscape in the US and globally. By creating a standardized set of digital signals and data-science driven models, Triton has enabled AudioGraph as a common identity solution for all radio broadcasters. AudioGraph will launch with iHeartMedia inventory with plans to expand its capabilities across the broader broadcast industry in 2027.

Hosted by Gayle Troberman and Daryl Lee, the debut episode explores why HBO’s “Heated Rivalry” is reshaping sports, culture, marketing and selling of a gay love story

Series Premieres June 15, 2026

Listen to “gay-i” Now HERE

NEWPORT, RI – June 15, 2026 – Bubbler Media, the conversation company built for curious marketers, culture-watchers and thoughtful leaders who would rather start a dinner-party debate than sit through another panel, and iHeartPodcasts, the No. 1 podcast publisher globally according to Podtrac, today announced the launch of “gay-i,” a new podcast looking at marketing, media and culture through a distinctly LGBTQ+ lens.

Co-hosted by Gayle Troberman, co-founder of Bubbler and former CMO of iHeartMedia and Chief Creative Officer of Microsoft, and Daryl Lee, Global Chairman of McCann, “gay-i” gives listeners the gay eye on what is really moving marketing, media and culture – because as the show’s tagline says, all marketing is definitely not created equal. With C-suite firepower, queer curiosity and a healthy intolerance for boring brand conversations, each episode brings together LGBTQ+ leaders, allies, marketers, creators and cultural voices to unpack the campaigns, fandoms, entertainment, ideas and conversations reshaping culture and where brands must pay attention. 

"Marketing is ultimately about understanding people and connecting through culture," said Gayle Troberman, co-host of “gay-i” and co-founder of Bubbler. "The LGBTQ+ community has always had a knack for spotting what’s next and shaping the conversations, trends and creative ideas that move culture forward. In a world increasingly focused on data and technology, ‘gay-i’ is a place for bold, human conversations about what's resonating today through the uniquely gay eye."

The debut episode, “Heated Rivalry,” dives into the unexpected impact of HBO’s breakout gay hockey romance, exploring what the show’s success reveals about fandom, representation in sports and the power of a love story once considered niche to mainstream culture. Guests include NHL CMO Heidi Browning, who shares insights into the series’ influence on the league and its audience, and McCann Chief Entertainment Officer Brendan Gaul, who explores why stories once overlooked are increasingly becoming the cultural moments brands need to understand.

“In a time of fear and caution, Heated Rivalry came along to shake us up and remind us that the stories of gay culture are also stories of universal human struggles – for achievement, for acceptance and for love,” said Daryl Lee, co-host of “gay-i” and Global Chairman of McCann. “The wild success of this gay romance and its effect on brands in the NHL is a reminder of the power of the LGBTQ+ community in generating excitement, conversation and sales.”

“Gay-i” is part of a growing slate of marketing and business podcasts from Bubbler Media and iHeartPodcasts hosted by some of the industry’s most recognizable voices. The slate aims to bring more human, unfiltered conversation into the marketing space – challenging how brands think about culture, creativity and connection. Podcasts launched on the slate, include “So, Get This” with The Harris Poll’s John Gerzema and Libby Rodney; “Unbossing” with Rishad Tobaccowala and Drew Ianni; and “Market Says?” hosted by Marcus Collins and his University of Michigan students.

“gay-i” is distributed by iHeartPodcasts and is available on the iHeartRadio app and everywhere podcasts are heard. Listen now HERE.

About Bubbler

Bubbler is a conversation company, co-founded by Gayle Troberman and David Alberts, to start better, braver and more human conversations across marketing, media, business and culture.

That spirit sits at the heart of the company. Bubbler produces podcasts, hosts events and builds experiences designed to challenge conventional thinking, spark unexpected connections and help brands become part of the conversations people actually want to have.

Built around the belief that if you’re not in the conversation, you’re not in the game, Bubbler brings together curious leaders, creators and brands who are tired of playing it safe. The company exists to bring joy, humanity and cultural energy back into advertising – helping brands break through not by chasing impressions, but by creating ideas, access and influence people want to talk about.

About Black Effect Podcast Network

The Black Effect Podcast Network is a transformative network founded by renowned cultural architect, executive producer, bestselling author and media mogul Charlamagne Tha God in a historic joint venture with the world’s No. 1 commercial podcast publisher, iHeartMedia. Charlamagne and iHeartMedia created the groundbreaking first-ever Black Effect Podcast Network, celebrating the essential Black culture-shapers on the planet—in education, entertainment, politics, pop culture, and sports. The Black Effect Podcast Network gives rise to emerging and established content creators and storytellers whose perspectives and creative visions have been marginalized and overlooked while serving an audience that has been underserved. The Black Effect Podcast Network helps its partners define their place in podcast culture through influence, ideas, and experiences that engage, inspire, inform and empower.
