Joe Budden And REVOLT Sign Multi-Year TV Deal

Joe Budden is bringing his podcast and a variety of other shows to REVOLT. On Tuesday, November 10, the platform for Hip Hop and culture announced a multi-year partnership with the rapper and podcaster, which will allow the Joe Budden Network to reach television audiences.

The upcoming weekly series, “Joe Budden Network Presents,” will feature 20 episodes in its first season, premiering on Friday, November 13, at 10 p.m. ET on REVOLT’s linear network. Each episode will begin with a custom segment, followed by a selection of highlights from the Joe Budden Network’s programming, including “The Joe Budden Podcast,” “Pod Wives,” “The Ian and Marc Show,” “Rippin’ 2gether,” one-on-one interviews, and more.

Negotiated by Budden and Ian Schwartzman, the agreement allows REVOLT to license specific clips instead of acquiring entire shows or their catalogs. This partnership provides Budden with an additional avenue to distribute his content and generate revenue, while maintaining full ownership and creative control.

Joining Budden on “The Joe Budden Podcast” are Parks Vallely, Lamar “Ice” Burney, Antwan “Ish” Marby, Trevor “Queenzflip” Robinson, Marc Lamont Hill, and Damona “Mona Love,” who is also known as Don’t Call Me White Girl. A trailer for “Joe Budden Network Presents” is available for viewing.

Budden emphasized that the REVOLT deal aims to preserve “what made it work in the first place.” Deon Graham, chief content officer of REVOLT and Offscript Worldwide, stated, “Joe has built an independent media business with an audience that shows up for him. Our role is to add value to what he’s built. This partnership gives him another revenue stream and additional distribution while keeping his ownership and creative control intact. Our audience gets programming with a proven connection to the culture. We want creators to see REVOLT as a partner that helps them build bigger businesses around what they own. This deal puts that into practice.”

Budden remarked, “I’ve always believed in building something you own and creating it on your own terms. We’ve spent years building this network, having conversations that matter to our audience and creating a space where we can be ourselves. Partnering with REVOLT gives us an opportunity to bring that energy to television without losing what made it work in the first place. I’m excited for more people to experience what we’ve built.”

“Joe Budden Network Presents” will make its television debut on Friday, November 13, at 10 p.m. ET via REVOLT, airing weekly. REVOLT is accessible through major TV providers including Spectrum, Xfinity, and Verizon Fios. For those who miss the broadcast, each episode will also be available on the website and app the following day.
