The Roost Podcast Network, home to podcasts including This Past Weekend with Theo Von, has a new owner.
Talent management company Night, which represents YouTubers such as MrBeast, has acquired the company from Warner Bros. Discovery.
The studio shut down Rooster Teeth, which was part of Warner Bros. Discovery Global Streaming & Interactive Entertainment, earlier this year. At the time, Rooster Teeth general manager Jordan Levin said that WBD was evaluating “outside interest in acquiring this growing asset”.
Night will be retaining a majority of the team, including A.J. Feliciano, Head of The Roost Podcast Network.
The Roost receives over 350 million views and 20 million monthly audio downloads. It features 47 podcasts including H3 Podcast, The Phil DeFranco Show, Flashback with Smosh, The Yard and Jeff FM.
Night was founded by Reed Duchscher, a former sports agent turned talent manager, in 2015.
