iHeartMedia will serve as the exclusive audio partner for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris as part of an agreement with NBCUniversal.
“We’re excited to partner with iHeartMedia to provide Olympic fans with even more ways to enjoy the Paris Olympic Games,” said Gary Zenkel, president of NBC Olympics, via NBC Sports. “This partnership allows iHeart’s large audio audience to hear NBCU’s Olympic coverage away from their televisions and digital devices, as well as engage with the Games through iHeart’s celebrated and entertaining podcasts."

New, original podcast content hosted by Saturday Night Live cast member Bowen Yang and actor-comedian Matt Rogers, which will include interviews from current and former Olympic athletes, as well as celebrity fans, is also scheduled to launch in late June just prior to the 2024 Summer Olympics Opening Ceremony and will run through the Closing Ceremony in August.
