• Over 400 UK podcasting and audio businesses have signed an open letter to the UK government demanding recognition in the Creative Industries Strategy, which could lead to funding for IP development or access to tax relief. The letter was issued by AudioUK, who also announced that the UK’s DCMS has committed to commissioning a research study to measure key data across the podcast and audio industry.
• Edison Research has been acquired by market and survey research firm SSRS. The acquisition includes the entire Edison Research team. Edison’s Larry Rosin describes SSRS as “a great and extremely like-minded research company”, which “shares Edison’s commitment to research rigor and great people”.
• Spotify has done another deal for its video podcasts - The Ringer’s shows will be available on Samsung TV Plus. The shows, which will also be on Netflix, are coming off YouTube early next year. (The graphic from Samsung says “only on Samsung TV Plus”, but this is not an exclusive).
