Disney is licensing video podcast programming from iHeartMedia for streaming on Disney+ and Hulu, according to multiple reports. The deal covers six shows and begins with the recently launched “Hey Jonas!” from the Jonas Brothers.
Other included titles feature established iHeartMedia brands, including the video edition of “Pod Meets World,” which streams on Disney+, and additional series that will stream on Disney+ and/or Hulu. Reported examples include “Desperately Devoted” and “Fake Doctors, Real Friends,” hosted by Zach and Donald.
The outlets describe the arrangement as a licensing agreement focused on video podcasts, expanding the availability of iHeartMedia content across Disney’s streaming platforms. While the coverage highlights different parts of the catalog and which services each show will appear on, the common element across reports is the start of streaming for six iHeartMedia video podcast titles on Disney+ and Hulu under a new deal.
