    About

    Audacy Inc. operates as a major American audio content and entertainment company, managing a vast network of more than 235 radio stations across 67 markets. The organization serves over 170 million consumers monthly by blending traditional live broadcast with modern streaming and on-demand podcasting capabilities. Formerly known as Entercom Communications Corporation, the entity underwent a significant rebranding in late 2021 to align its corporate identity with its flagship digital platform, Radio.com.

    The company's strategic pivot toward a digital-first approach became fully visible when it officially changed its name to Audacy in December 2021. This shift marked a departure from purely traditional broadcasting to encompass a comprehensive ecosystem that includes podcast production, live event management, and data-driven advertising solutions. Leadership under CEO Lee Ascher has focused on integrating legacy radio assets with these new digital strategies following the company's emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in early 2023.
