A loyal audience that shows up every week is one of the most durable assets in media, and one of the most consistently undermonetized. We represent hosts on both halves: the show run properly, and the business built on the back of it.
Two things are usually true at once. The inventory is underpriced, and the show is doing none of the work of selling anything that belongs to the host.
Four positions that decide how this practice is run. They are stated plainly so you can disagree with them before there is a mandate rather than after.
People give a show forty minutes of undivided attention, which almost nothing else in media gets. Priced as display inventory it is worth a fraction of what it does, and that gap is the mandate.
Download counts invite a comparison you will lose. Who listens, what they buy, and what they do after hearing the read is the case that moves a rate, and it requires evidence.
A pure advertising model hands the business to somebody else’s budget cycle. An owned offer running alongside the sponsorships changes the risk profile of the whole operation.
Network and platform deals are attractive at the moment they are offered. Read what happens to the name and the catalog at the end, because that is what you are actually trading.
You do the work you’re known for. We run everything else.
The same four phases as every mandate. The first two happen before there is an agreement to sign.
You tell us who you are, where the audience actually lives, and what you are building toward. We are selective, and a fast no is worth more to you than a slow maybe.
Before we take a mandate we audit the whole picture and show you the revenue sitting unclaimed inside what you have already built. Most of it is not a growth problem.
The gaps get closed in order of what they pay. This is the quarter where the machinery gets built rather than discussed, and it is run by the people who will keep running it afterwards.
Every episode ships everywhere and the business behind it runs, with the recording staying the only fixed demand on your week.
Identical across all eight practices, and agreed in writing before any work begins.
Tell us who you are, where the audience lives, and what you are building toward. We answer either way.
MORR Talent is a division of MORR Group. Representation is selective and is accepted by application. Nothing on this page is an offer of representation, and no communication through this page creates a representation agreement or any other engagement.
Terms differ by practice and by the shape of the business around the name. Commission, scope, and term are agreed in writing before any work begins. Where a mandate would require a licence we do not hold, we say so and bring in someone who holds it.
