Fox Sports Radio’s Colin Cowherd is the latest host to take ownership of their podcasting output with a new network that gives the sports radio personality creative and ownership control. Cowherd is launching The Volume, a sports-focused podcast network that will be co-produced by iHeartMedia. It is similar to deals iHeart has with fellow sports talker Dan Patrick and syndicated radio host Charlamagne Tha God.
“There has never been a more exciting time to develop new sports content," said Cowherd in the announcement. “Podcasts have totally changed the game, and the expanded use of sports gambling makes this the perfect moment to launch this endeavor.”
The Volume becomes a second podcast network for Cowherd. In 2018 he teamed with iHeart’s Premiere Networks and Red Seat Ventures to launch The Herd Podcast Network. It includes The Herd with Colin Cowherd, the on-demand version of his daily syndicated Fox Sports Radio show, which had more than 100-million downloads last year. No changes are planned for The Herd Podcast Network which also features other podcasts hand-picked and curated by Cowherd.
