MARKETPLACE, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH CUMULUS MEDIA’S WESTWOOD ONE, ANNOUNCES NEW OFFERING ‘MARKETPLACE MINUTE’ FOR PUBLIC RADIO AUDIENCES
With its signature business and economic storytelling, Marketplace expands its portfolio, adding ‘Marketplace Minute’ to its roster of public radio programming
LOS ANGELES July 15, 2021 — Today, Marketplace, in partnership with Cumulus Media’s Westwood One (NASDAQ: CMLS), announced that it will offer a new 60-second show, “Marketplace Minute™,” to public radio stations across the country. Twice daily, the one-minute program provides up-to-the-moment economic news in Marketplace’s signature accessible style. “Marketplace Minute” will be available on participating public radio stations starting in August.
Along with Marketplace public radio shows “Marketplace,” “Marketplace Morning Report” and “Marketplace Tech,” the addition of “Marketplace Minute” keeps audiences up to speed on the financial news they need to know from the moment they wake up until closing bell.
Marketplace reporters will write and produce the segments, along with other members of the Marketplace editorial team as determined by the news of the day. Key voices of the show include Nova Safo, Meghan McCarty Carino and Justin Ho.
“Our network stations and public radio audiences rely on Marketplace to give them the day’s most important business and economic news,” said Chandra Kavati, vice president of distribution and underwriting at American Public Media, which distributes Marketplace programming. “The addition of “Marketplace Minute” means that they will get timely updates throughout the day, never getting behind on important economic news. We couldn’t be more thrilled to bring this to the public radio audience, who are always looking for more first-rate content from Marketplace.”
“Marketplace Minute™” is a co-production of American Public Media and the Cumulus Podcast Network. “Marketplace Minute” also publishes three times daily as a podcast and as a smart speaker briefing on Amazon, Google and Apple devices. It’s also available on Apple iPhones by saying “Hey, Siri, play ‘Marketplace Minute.’”
