Jason and Travis Kelce, Amazon's Wondery agree to $100,000,000-plus deal for 'New Heights' podcast: Report
Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce have agreed to a massive deal worth more than $100 million for their "New Heights" podcast according to a report by Variety on Tuesday. The duo has been hosting the show for a while now, and their weekly episodes have grown extremely popular even outside the sports space. As a result, Amazon's Wondery signed with them.
Starting Wednesday, Wondery will have global distribution rights to all audio and video episodes of “New Heights With Jason and Travis Kelce." That includes all backlogged episodes as well as the rights to create international adaptations.
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end and his brother said in a statement via Variety:
“We couldn’t be more excited to team up with Wondery for the next phase of ‘New Heights.' 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, 92%ers!”
The upcoming NFL campaign is less than two weeks away, and the podcast, fresh with a new $100 million deal, will launch even sooner. The show's third edition will begin tomorrow and continue throughout the 2024-25 season.
Where can I listen to 'New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce?'
The deal with Wondery won't change where existing listeners can find the podcast. Instead, it will keep the existing platforms, Apple Podcasts and Spotify, while expanding its reach.
Wondery has distribution channels on YouTube and their own Wondery+ subscription. It will still stream on Wednesdays on all podcast outlets, so fans won't have to change where they listen to Travis Kelce and his former Philadelphia Eagles star brother.
