The Costa Report Announces Internet Syndication Agreement with VoiceAmerica


The Costa Report, syndicated nationally, will also air on the VoiceAmerica Business Channel every Tuesday at 6 AM and 6 PM Pacific Time
 The Costa Report announced today that they have reached an agreement to broadcast over the internet on the VoiceAmerica Network effective July 10, 2012. The program will be available every Tuesday at 6AM and 6PM Pacific Time.

According to Randall Libero, Senior Executive Producer for VoiceAmerica, “The Costa Report has one of the best guest lineups on talk radio. Whether it’s Ron Paul, Alan Dershowitz or the former Director of NASA, host, Rebecca Costa, commands the respect of the top newsmakers in the world. We fell in love with this program.” Jeff Spenard, President of Voice America added, “2012 is a breakout year. Internet radio has come into its own and is now the fastest growing radio market. The Costa Report raises the bar for in-depth news reporting and VoiceAmerica is proud to deliver this kind of high-quality programming to listeners around the world.”


The Costa Report was launched in 2010, in conjunction with Costa’s bestselling book, The Watchman’s Rattle: Thinking Our Way Out Of Extinction. In addition to receiving critical acclaim by The New York Times, Inc. Magazine, Time Magazine, Tavis Smiley, Larry King Live and other press, the book was also released in 30 countries. The radio show quickly grew in popularity in the Western United States and in 2011was syndicated by Business TalkRadio Network to become their anchor Sunday morning news program. VoiceAmerica wasted no time locking down the internet broadcasting rights for the program.

The Costa Report is a weekly, 2-hour program. Costa describes the first hour as “listen” radio. The audience is invited to listen to a one-hour conversation with a world-acclaimed expert. During the second hour Costa fields telephone calls and engages the audience in a free-for-all discussion. The second hour also includes a wrap up of the week’s financial news as well as a technology update.

When asked about the partnership with VoiceAmerica Costa said, “VoiceAmerica had the vision to be one of the first pioneers in internet radio - long before anyone understood its true potential. Because they got started so early, they are now one of the fastest growing networks in the world. The newsmakers we showcase, and the topics we cover, are of interest to listeners everywhere, so teaming with the leader in internet broadcasting gives us access to the global audience we have been aiming for all along.”

The Costa Report airs live on Tuesdays at 6 AM Pacific / 8 AM Central / 9 AM Eastern on the VoiceAmerica Business Channel. To access the show, log on at www.voiceamericabusiness.com.
