Former Fox International Channels CEO Hernan Lopez is launching a new podcast network with financial backing from his former employer.
Wondery will launch this summer with podcasts developed by the company as well as curating shows from other networks. Lopez and Fox have funded more than $1 million to get the company off the ground. The company will utilize Art19’s distribution and dynamic ad insertion platforms.
Lopez worked at Fox for the past 20 years and began his career in radio in his native Argentina.
