Radio Disney started Radio Disney Now! podcasts last year to reach listeners between 6 and 14 years of age when they weren’t listening to the radio. This June, the company will include ad-supported podcasts in its lineup of content on satellite radio, cable TV and video-on-demand, Ad Age writes.
So far, Disney has had 170,000 downloads of its podcasts, which have not included advertising. President-general manager of Radio Disney Worldwide, Jean-Paul Colaco, said that the network’s strong listener connection allows for the idea of selling podcasts to Disney advertisers.
