iHeartMedia Offers Creators and Publishers Unique New Video Podcast Platform iHeartMedia announced 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 iHeartRadio -- at no cost to creators. In early 2026, iHeart will give creators the ability to distribute full-length video directly into iHeartRadio - 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 iHeartRadio, 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. iHeart 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 iHeart. By offering this distribution for free, consistent with audio podcast distribution platforms to date, iHeart 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: iHeart will not require creators to have their videos hosted and served from an iHeart-owned hosting provider in order to make video available on iHeart. Just as they do in audio, creators can decide where they want their videos to be hosted and served. 공시 • Dec 03
