FOX News Media has partnered with Spotify, the world’s leading
audio subscription streaming platform, in a new deal that will
distribute FOX News Podcasts on the global audio streaming
platform, announced John Sylvester, vice president of FOX News

20 original series, including three new programs slated to debut in

FOX Top 5 — will be made available globally on Spotify, reaching
over 286 million monthly users.
In making the announcement, Sylvester said, “Throughout these
unprecedented times, FOX News Audio has become a destination for
listeners to get up to the minute information, whether it’s the
latest on the current coronavirus pandemic, insights from the 2020
presidential campaign or in-depth interviews with leading
newsmakers. We are pleased to partner with Spotify, offering their
millions of subscribers worldwide access to our best in class
content.”
Through this new venture, all of FOX News Podcasts’ original
programs, as well as FNR’s three nationally syndicated talk shows,
The Brian Kilmeade Show, FOX Across America with Jimmy Failla and
The Guy Benson Show, will be available to stream and download on
the Spotify app. The podcast lineup includes FOX News Radio’s Five
Minute Newscast; I’ll Tell You What, hosted by The Daily Briefing
and The Five’s Dana Perino and FOX News politics editor Chris
Stirewalt; and The Campaign, hosted by chief political anchor and
Special Report’s Bret Baier. The FOX News Rundown Podcast: Global
Pandemic, a newly launched weekday-evening podcast dedicated to the
latest updates surrounding the COVID-19 outbreak anchored by FOX
News foreign correspondent Trey Yingst, will also be featured in
Spotify’s COVID-19 Podcast Guide.
