At the Country Radio Seminar (CRS) in Nashville, Audacy is introducing Infinity Networks, a network services and content platform that will make best-in-class shows, talent and content available to other broadcasters, national audiences and network advertisers.
Infinity Networks will serve as a dedicated syndication provider for local broadcast brands, with the goal of establishing a large portfolio of affiliate partnerships across the industry. The platform will provide affiliates access to high-quality programming and resources to drive local station partners’ audience engagement and advertiser relationships.
“The launch of Infinity Networks underscores Audacy’s commitment to delivering exceptional local programming to national audiences,” said Susan Larkin, Chief Operating Officer, Audacy. “Infinity Networks gives stations access to premium music-based shows and talent that captivate listeners, elevate ratings and drive revenue. We look forward to building partnerships with affiliates to extend the reach of our top-tier shows and talent across the country.”
Infinity Networks will exist as an independent brand in the broadcast ecosystem. At launch, Infinity Networks will feature two flagship shows:
Katie Neal, ACM award-winning and CMA Award finalist, is the vibrant host of "Katie & Company," where she brings 2.7 million weekly listeners closer to Country’s biggest stars like Luke Combs, Carrie Underwood, Jelly Roll and Tim McGraw, who co-hosts the show’s Superstar Power Hour. Broadcasting out of a new state-of-the-art studio at the Hard Rock Cafe on Broadway in Nashville every weekday, Neal shares hit songs and behind-the-scenes stories and engages in genuine conversations with artists about their music and life. Known for her sincere curiosity and ability to forge authentic connections, Katie blends her love for Country music, pop culture, and everyday life, making her show a must-listen for anyone tuning in.
ACM Award-winning duo Rob Stone and Holly Hutton bring the ultimate VIP treatment to Country radio, delivering access to over 1.3 million weekly listeners. From can’t-miss artist interviews to breaking Country news and behind-the-scenes stories, they bring fans closer to the music they love. Every Friday, the energy cranks up with the Friday Night Takeover, where Country’s biggest stars—like Lainey Wilson, Chris Stapleton, Cody Johnson and Jason Aldean—take control for an unforgettable ride. And with their Top 20 countdown, they spotlight the hottest hits in the genre, often joined by surprise Country music legends like Keith Urban, Kelsea Ballerini, Blake Shelton and Kenny Chesney.
Infinity Networks also launches as the exclusive U.S. affiliate and barter representation partner of SPARC Media Hub, a content workflow solution for radio stations that includes promotions, prep, text messaging, production and phone screening tools in a best-in-class and easy-to-use platform designed and built by radio professionals.
The platform will continually identify and collaborate with renowned talent and network service providers, ensuring a diverse portfolio of programs and services tailored to meet the needs of stations across various markets.
