LOS ANGELES, CA - (NewMediaWire) - March 13, 2024 - PodcastOne (NASDAQ: PODC), a leading podcast platform and a subsidiary of LiveOne (NASDAQ: LVO), which owns ~73% of the PODC outstanding common stock, announced today that it has extended its agreement with A+E Networks for the exclusive sales and distribution rights to popular true crime podcasts “Cold Case Files” and “I Survived.” As part of the agreement, the two thriving media companies will expand their relationship and introduce two new podcasts based on A&E’s long-running television programs, “American Justice” and “City Confidential.”

Show descriptions:

Cold Case Files

There are over 100,000 cold cases in America, and only about 1% are ever solved. Based on the iconic, Emmy-nominated series on A&E, this show examines the twists and turns of one murder case that remained unsolved for years, and the critical element that heated it up, leading to the evidence that finally solved it. With recent advancements in technology and the methods used to solve these cases, as well as the unwavering dedication of victims’ families, law enforcement and the public, “Cold Case Files” explores the cases that defied the odds. Cold Case Files is hosted by Paula Barros.

 

I Survived

What is it like to face death and make it out alive? Based on the groundbreaking A&E television series, “I Survived” documents harrowing stories of human endurance. In their own words, survivors recall how they overcame unbelievable circumstances that changed their lives forever.

 

American Justice

Based on the long-running A&E series, “American Justice” looks at recent criminal cases in the United States through the prism of the criminal justice system, and from the first-hand perspectives of the prosecutors, defense attorneys, investigators, victims and perpetrators involved. Each story reveals how our justice system works, and, sometimes, how it doesn’t.

 

City Confidential

Based on the A&E series, “City Confidential” tells the story of one crime, the ensuing investigation, and the ripple effect it had on a community. Speaking with family, friends, detectives, journalists, and others close to the case, the series weaves together first-hand accounts and archival footage to explore the crime and its outcome.

“PodcastOne is proud of our long term multiyear relationship with A+E Networks that has grown with 9 seasons of the smash podcast hit Cold Case Files, 3 incredible seasons of fan favorite I Survived and now with two more A&E properties, American Justice and City Confidential. Our listeners love these podcasts and our network team loves working with A&E as do our advertisers. It’s a fantastic relationship and we are looking forward to more great successes together,” said Kit Gray, President and Co-founder of PodcastOne.

“We are delighted to build upon our successful partnership with PodcastOne, which not only continues to extend the reach of our most popular properties on the PodcastOne platform but will now expand our collaboration with two captivating new series, American Justice and City Confidential.
