NORTH CAROLINA is an INTENSE SPORTS STATE with LOYAL, PASSIONATE FANS

The OLD NORTH STATE is the EPICENTER of COLLEGE SPORTS, featuring 19 NCAA D1 schools, 17 NCAA D2 schools, and another 34 schools playing in NCAA D3. That’s a total of 70 COLLEGE ATHLETICS PROGRAMS!

NC also is home to five (5) top-level professional teams (NFL, NBA, NHL, MLS, NWSL), multiple PGA Tour and ATP/WTA events, almost every NASCAR team, and more than two dozen minor league pro teams.

Add in 981 high schools competing in the NCHSAA and NCISAA, and there is no doubt that NORTH CAROLINA is a hotbed for sports fans!

This is the reason BRENTWOOD has created the NORTH CAROLINA SPORTS NETWORK — to tell the stories of North Carolina’s people, places, events and sports like no one else can.

@TheNCSportsNet’s Podcast advertising is powerful and effective, reaching listeners via a captive, mobile medium that goes anywhere and everywhere they do. Podcasts are one of the most popular ways for people to get their news, sports and entertainment, and to stay connected to the world. 

According to Edison Research, today, 62% of the U.S. population 12+ (177 million people) have listened to podcasts, up from 36% just six years ago. 

And 38% (109 million people) now listen to podcasts every month. 

In the car, 49% of the driving public listen to online audio through their mobile phone, and 32% now regularly listen to podcasts while driving. 

The podcast listening audience is as diverse as ever, with 41% of listeners identifying as non-white, roughly equaling the U.S. population overall. 

In the U.S., the average podcast listener enjoys eight (8) podcast episodes every week.

In fact, 93% of podcast listeners say they listen to most or all of every episode. 

And 80% say they listen to podcast ads without skipping for a variety of reasons, including host-read ads, their personal connection to the podcast, and the fact that podcast ads are more relevant to them than what they get through other media.

Mix in the avid sports fan – an important part of the audience the NORTH CAROLINA SPORTS NETWORK reaches regularly – with a hunger for news, information and talk about their favorite team or sport, and you’re looking at a winning advertising opportunity.
