Audacy is partnering with voice AI research and deployment company ElevenLabs to augment its existing programming and production workflows. Through ElevenLabs' synthetic voice capabilities, the partnership will create a library of voices for Audacy to deliver custom experiences for listeners and advertising clients. Audacy will incorporate creator-led ideas and concepts with ElevenLabs' technology to bolster its programmers' and talents' ability to engage with audiences at scale.

"By experimenting with ElevenLabs' synthetic voice capabilities, we're transforming how we connect with our listeners and create value for our advertising partners," said Audacy Executive VP and Head of Programming Jeff Sottolano. "By streamlining workflows, this collaboration will empower creators with more bandwidth to focus on the exceptional content and listening experiences our audiences love and expect from Audacy."

"Through our work with Audacy, we're bringing new voices to life, making radio more diverse and accessible for everyone," added ElevenLabs Vice President of Revenue Carles Reina. "This technology also means we can produce more creator-led content faster, keeping up with the speed of today's world."
