Gemini XIII has brought United Stations Radio Networks and two podcast networks together under the Gemini Networks brand, according to Radio Ink’s October 22 report.
The combined operation includes United Stations programming and services, Gemini XIII Podcast Network and YEA Podcast Network. It brings broadcast radio, podcasting, streaming and video capabilities under one management team.
What affiliates have been told
The company says existing programming, customer relationships and support will continue without interruption. Key-United remains a joint sales venture with Key Networks. Those statements describe the company’s commitments; they do not establish that every future distribution or advertising arrangement will remain unchanged.
For stations and personalities, the useful follow-up concerns access to combined advertising packages, digital rights and the role affiliates will play when a program reaches audiences on several platforms.
The RNN question: Will the combined operation give local affiliates more revenue opportunities, and what participation will stations have in those opportunities?
