WFAN To Be Simulcast on SiriusXM

It’s interesting that SiriusXM is paying Audacy for carriage, rather than the other way around.

Why would MLB care? As long as you're exposed to the advertising and they receive their cut of the revenue, they'll be thrilled.

Audacy On SiriusXM

Interesting story as Audacy licenses access to some local news & sports stations to SiriusXM. According to the article, Sirius will pay Audacy a license fee, and will get to sell advertising when users tune in (sounds like a pre-roll). Some may remember that at one time, a number of Clear...
