Jason and Travis Kelce’s New heights is moving to Wondery. On Tuesday, the Amazon-owned podcast company announced that it has signed a three-year deal with the NFL brothers for their podcast, giving Wondery advertising sales and distribution rights.
Although the value of the deal has not yet been confirmed, both CNN and Variety report that the deal is in the range of $100 million. (A spokesperson for Travis Kelce did not immediately respond.) To Rolling StonePlease leave a comment.)
“We couldn’t be more excited to partner with Wondery for the next phase of New Heights,” Travis and Jason Kelce said in a statement on the podcast. “We love this show and the fan base that has grown with us over the past two seasons. Wondery understands the shared vision and will offer a wealth of experience and resources to take us to new heights!”
“We will create groundbreaking moments together through this partnership,” the brothers added. “We’re excited to begin Season 3 – see you soon, 92%ers!”
The show’s next podcast episode is set to debut on Wednesday. The deal will include the podcast’s back catalog and allow Wondery to monetize and distribute audio and video episodes from the first two seasons. (New heights won Podcast of the Year at the 2024 iHeartPodcast Awards.)
The show features the two brothers talking about their lives on and off the field and also features special celebrity guests. It was also the first time Travis Kelce spoke about his relationship with Taylor Swift last summer.
“‘New Heights’ is, on the surface, a sports podcast, and sports is such a popular category,” Wondery CEO Jen Sargent said in a statement. “But it’s become a cultural phenomenon – they’re in the cultural zeitgeist.”
