Overview
- More than 15 iHeartPodcasts will have their video versions stream only on Netflix, including The Breakfast Club, My Favorite Murder, Dear Chelsea, Bobby Bones Presents: The Bobbycast, Behind the Bastards and This Is Important.
- New video episodes and select library installments will debut on Netflix in early 2026 in the U.S., with plans to roll out to additional markets afterward.
- iHeartMedia retains audio-only rights and distribution, so the podcasts will remain available on iHeartRadio and other major audio platforms.
- iHeart confirmed that full video episodes covered by the deal will no longer be uploaded to YouTube.
- The move builds on Netflix’s October agreement with Spotify/The Ringer to add 16 video podcasts in 2026, as industry coverage highlights creator concerns about lost YouTube ad revenue, reach and access to viewer data.
