Amazon announced the acquisition of podcast startup Wondery in a move to further strengthen its non-musical content on Amazon Music app.
Amazon (AMZN) didn’t disclose the financial terms of the deal. However, the company said that listeners will continue to access Wondery podcasts through several mediums following the deal closure.
Earlier this month, The Wall Street Journal had reported that the two companies are in exclusive discussion and a deal could probably value Wondery at $300 million.
In a blog posted on its website, the Amazon Music team said, “Amazon Music launched podcasts in September 2020, and together with Wondery, we hope to accelerate the growth and evolution of podcasts by bringing creators, hosts, and immersive experiences to even more listeners across the globe, just as we do with music. This is a pivotal moment to expand the Amazon Music offering beyond music as listener habits evolve.” (See AMZN stock analysis on TipRanks)
