The 'New Heights' Podcast Season 3 Started With Exclusive Ad-Sales & Distribution Agreement
The famous football brothers have truly hit new heights. Their podcast, timed with the start of the NFL season, has just been rewarded a $100-million dollar deal with Amazon's subsidiary company Wondery. Travis Kelce is currently still an active player and tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, while Jason Kelce retired after last season.
There have been some other notablely huge podcast contracts - including Joe Rogan's $250 million multiyear deal with Spotify, and Alex Cooper's deal with SiriusXM worth upwards of $125 million.
Amazon/Wondery coming in with a deal like this makes sense for Travis, as he is currently set to host a season of the "Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity" show for Amazon Prime Video as well. And while Jason is retired from the NFL now, he also signed with ESPN as a commentator for Monday Night Countdown pregame show.
Here is what the brothers had to say:
“We couldn’t be more excited to team up with Wondery for the next phase of ‘New Heights,’” they said. “We love this show, and the fanbase that has grown with us over the last two seasons. Wondery understands the shared vision and will offer a wealth of experience and resources to take us to ‘New Heights’! We are going to create some groundbreaking moments together through this partnership. We are thrilled to start Season 3 — see you soon,"
"Under the new deal, Wondery has the ability to control audio and video entities, international audio adaptations of the podcast and licensing for future merchandise. They also own rights to the "New Heights" backlog."
Travis and his Chiefs also have a chance to three-peat this season, but it seems like he already won. On the other hand, this is a nice little retirement package for Jason. The two brothers bring great energy on set and we wish them the best of luck in all of their new seasons.
