Pittsburgh, PA (PRWEB) June 28, 2007 -- Wizzard Media, the industry's largest podcast hosting network and part of Wizzard Software, is pleased to announce that it has been added as a Featured Provider of podcasts on iTunes.
Located in the Featured Providers area on the homepage of the iTunes Podcast Directory, Wizzard Media's Channel showcases a select group of podcasts hosted by Libsyn, Switchpod and Blast Podcast, which together make up the Wizzard Media Network. Wizzard Media joins other iTunes Featured Providers such as ABC News, CNN, Comedy Central, ESPN and VH1.
"The launch of the Wizzard Media Channel in iTunes is just one of the initiatives we have planned to help raise the profile of some of the top podcasts in the industry," said Chris Spencer, CEO of Wizzard. "With the imminent launch of the iPhone™, with its ability to run iTunes and play podcasts, we feel this is a very strategic accomplishment in our monetization efforts for podcast publishers. This new placement will go a long way towards attracting sponsors, advertisers and press for some of the most exciting new media properties on the internet today."
"Marketers want to reach iPod and iPhone users with targeted messages that will resonate with recipients," said Jim Else, VP of Sales for Wizzard Media. "We believe Wizzard offers the most compelling advertising platform for national brands to reach this highly coveted audience.
