Get ready for a shake-up in the radio world! Radio Customs is making a bold move into syndication, and it’s bringing some big names along for the ride. But here’s where it gets exciting: they’ve just signed Bubba the Love Sponge and the dynamic duo Miller & Moulton to their newly launched syndication division. This isn’t just another business move—it’s a game-changer for how we experience audio content.
For those who don’t know, Radio Customs (https://radiocustoms.com/) is already a powerhouse in the digital audio space. They’re the brains behind Shaquille O’Neal’s Hip Hop station, Shaq Fu Radio (https://www.shaqfuradio.com/), and a podcast network featuring over 40 shows. Think former NBA star Robert Horry, comedy legend Jackie ‘The Jokeman’ Martling, R&B icon Al B. Sure!, and Krayzie Bone of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony—all under one roof. Now, they’re expanding their empire into syndication, handling everything from affiliate representation to digital monetization and integrated sales.
But here’s where it gets controversial: Radio Customs is partnering with Jeff Weber Media Group to oversee affiliate outreach and advertising sales for these new shows. Jeff Weber, a veteran with roles ranging from President at Blue Star Media Group’s networks to senior management in major markets like Baltimore and Indianapolis, is no stranger to the industry. His take? ‘Radio Customs is one of the most forward-thinking media companies in audio today. Their ability to blend streaming, podcasts, original music, and now FM syndication represents where the industry is headed.’ Bold words—but are they true? Is this the future of radio, or just another experiment?
Radio Customs Founder/CEO Gentry Thomas puts it this way: ‘Radio Customs was built on innovation and the belief that great audio can live anywhere. By partnering with Jeff Weber Media Group and bringing Bubba the Love Sponge and Miller & Moulton into the family, we’re entering the FM space with real momentum while continuing to scale one of the most dynamic digital audio networks in the country.’ But here’s the question: Can they truly bridge the gap between digital and traditional radio? And what does this mean for the future of local stations?
And this is the part most people miss: This move isn’t just about expanding reach—it’s about redefining what radio can be. With Bubba the Love Sponge’s unapologetic style and Miller & Moulton’s sports expertise, Radio Customs is betting on diversity and bold content to win over audiences. But will it work? Or is the FM space too crowded for new players?
What do you think? Is Radio Customs onto something revolutionary, or is this just another attempt to dominate the airwaves? Let us know in the comments—we’re all ears!
