“We are building on the momentum and tremendous success we’ve already seen in our existing partnership,” said Steve Jones, Vice President and General Manager of ABC Radio. “ABC Radio has always represented creative and innovative programming and we are excited to offer programmers and talent a new, stable business environment to grow and monetize their brands.”
ABC Radio currently has over 1,650 affiliates with partnerships across every major radio station ownership group. ABC Radio proudly produces ABC News Radio which has the #1 reach among all commercial news networks.
“The timing of our syndication partnership couldn’t be more perfect,” said Ken Thiele, President of Skyview Networks. “We’ve heard from a significant number of programs and clearly there is a need for another syndication option in the marketplace. We’re growing and continue to make substantial investments in technology and our staff, and it’s paying off. This new venture is a really a reflection of the dynamic synergies between ABC Radio and Skyview, and our positive business trajectory.”
In July 2016, ABC Radio and Skyview Networks renewed their highly successful content, ad sales, affiliate sales and audio distribution agreement.
Skyview currently has national sales offices in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, Phoenix, Miami and Louisville.
