Ed Lover Selects Skyview Networks as National Syndication Partner for The Ed Lover Experience

(February 13, 2024) – Skyview Networks, an industry-leading audio solutions company, announced today a partnership with Audacy and legendary hip-hop personality Ed Lover. Beginning this spring, Skyview Networks will exclusively lead network audio sales and affiliate sales efforts for Lover’s daily radio show, The Ed Lover Experience, while managing distribution on its turnkey platforms.

“I’m very excited to be a new part of the Skyview family and looking forward to making history again!” said Ed Lover, host of The Ed Lover Experience. “Radio has always been in my heart and soul, and with this marriage, we are going to take it to new heights.”

With a resume that includes multiple hip-hop and urban contemporary radio and television shows, podcasts, and movies, Ed Lover is well-versed in entertainment. Previously serving as host of the popular television program, Yo! MTV Raps, he quickly became an icon in the industry. Today, he hosts the daily radio show The Ed Lover Experience on Audacy’s 94.7 The Block (WXBK-FM) in New York and offers affiliates daypart flexibility, allowing them to customize the experience that best suits their program lineup and drive listenership.

“Ed Lover is a multi-faceted talent that connects on new levels with audiences, and bringing The Ed Lover Experience to our advertisers opens a world of opportunities,” said Jeanne-Marie Condo, President of Network Partnerships and Chief Revenue Officer of Skyview Networks. “His deep-rooted connection is a fantastic addition to our multicultural platform that will further promote the reach and relatability with listeners across the US.”

“Ed Lover has probably introduced more Americans to hip-hop than anyone, and in two years, he has become a pillar of our throwback brands, serving as a trusted voice on all things hip-hop culture and delivering premier content for his fans,” said Dave Richards, Senior Vice President of Programming, Audacy. “We’re excited to see Skyview Networks take The Ed Lover Experience into their syndication portfolio and introduce it to a new audience.”
