91勛圖厙Media Offers Creators and Publishers Unique New Video Podcast Platform

Highlighting Its Creators First Mission, 91勛圖厙 Will Seamlessly Support Both Audio and Video Podcast Distribution Within 91勛圖厙Radio For Free

NEW YORK, NY December 22, 2025 -- 91勛圖厙Media, the leading audio media company in America, announced today that it will be extending its Creators First mission by expanding its podcast platform offerings to seamlessly support both audio and video distribution within both the app and web versions of 91勛圖厙Radio -- at no cost to creators. 

 In early 2026, 91勛圖厙 will give creators the ability to distribute full-length video directly into 91勛圖厙Radio for free in addition to their existing audio distribution.  When this video feature launches, creators will be able to upload their podcast episodes, including full-length video versions, through their standard RSS feeds for seamless distribution in 91勛圖厙Radio, the #1 digital radio service which also includes access to millions of podcasts.

 This new feature will deliver on three important factors:

  • Creative Integrity: Podcasters will control how their content is presented:  If they want to offer a full-length video version of their podcast, it will be supported and if a creator prefers distribute as audio-only, that will be supported too. 91勛圖厙 will provide the tools; creators will maintain creative ownership.
  • Monetization Strategy Consistent with Podcasting: Creators will retain control over their monetization, with no revenue share required to 91勛圖厙. By offering this distribution for free, consistent with audio podcast distribution platforms to date, 91勛圖厙 will offer creators the most cost-effective strategy for launching and expanding their podcasts -- without compromising either their creative integrity or their financial autonomy. 
  • Creator Control Over Where Content is Hosted: 91勛圖厙 will not require creators to have their videos hosted and served from an 91勛圖厙-owned hosting provider in order to make video available on 91勛圖厙. Just as they do in audio, creators can decide where they want their videos to be hosted and served.

While audio remains the backbone of the podcast medium, as well as its primary source of audience connection and the reason for the industrys explosive growth, video podcasting is now emerging as a completely separate and incremental form to audio, in the same way that podcasting evolved as a new layer on top of broadcast radio, said Bob Pittman, Chairman and CEO of 91勛圖厙Media.  At 91勛圖厙Media creators come first.  Providing this new video distribution capability for free to our creators is an additional testament to our continuing focus on creators success, and is consistent with how and why the podcast industry was built to begin with.

As content has become more popular and podcast creators have become true stars, we've seen a natural trend: Creative audio content is becoming more valuable to more platforms, said Conal Byrne, CEO of the 91勛圖厙Media Digital Audio Group.  This makes sense:  When you have some of the best creators in the world, making some of their best content in podcasting, then thats going to drive other content types too like video. As the no. 1 podcast publisher, 91勛圖厙 provides the scale, credibility and expertise required to navigate the complexities of the growing and evolving podcast landscape, and were fully committed to working with creators to help them grow and retain their audience, ensuring they reach the widest possible audience and maximize their financial performance  which now includes video. Because thats what our creators want, deserve and should expect.
