In addition to podcast distribution, LiveXLive will have a second window opportunity to develop these podcasts into film and television properties, and artist album releases. Both LiveXLive and Audio Up will be co-funding the joint venture and all revenue generated as part of the deal will be evenly split. The new shows will feature both a variety of different major recording artists as well as original music. The sector’s growth has spawned a raft of M&A deals and Hollywood adaptations of shows, and advertising revenue in the sector is approaching $1 billion a year.Ĭovered under the deal are LiveXLive’s exclusive distribution and advertising sales rights for existing Audio Up podcasts, as well as co-ownership of planned new podcast shows. Podcasting has been booming of late, even though Covid-19 slowed listenership for a time, with commuting and public transportation paused or diminished.
