Advertisers are consistently surprised and delighted with the measureable impact of the spots we sell across MIDROLL’s impressive network of shows. And we continue to announce incredible new shows with tremendous advertiser — and listener — appeal.”  FRIEDMAN was joined by MARC MARON and KATIE COURIC at the upfront presentation.
