The Lowdown
Podcasters have spent years chasing TV, and most deals hand the network the show. This one goes the other way: REVOLT licenses selected clips, not the catalog, so Budden gets a new audience and a new revenue stream without giving up the network. For a host who has been loud about independence, it is the most on-brand deal he could have signed.

The Full Story
What the Show Is
REVOLT’s announcement lays out the format. Every installment of Joe Budden Network Presents starts with a segment made for TV, then moves into a curated run of the network’s most-discussed moments. That pulls from The Joe Budden Podcast and sister shows Pod Wives, The Ian and Marc Show and Rippin’ 2gether, along with one-on-one interviews. The first season is 20 episodes.
A Licensing Deal, Not a Sale
The structure is the story. Budden and his longtime business partner Ian Schwartzman negotiated a licensing arrangement: REVOLT airs select clips instead of buying whole shows or their back catalogs. According2HipHop notes that financial terms were not disclosed.
Both sides framed it around ownership. REVOLT quoted Budden saying he has “always believed in building something you own and creating it on your own terms,” and that the deal brings the network’s energy to TV “without losing what made it work in the first place.” Deon Graham, chief content officer of REVOLT and Offscript Worldwide, said the partnership adds revenue and distribution while keeping Budden’s ownership and creative control intact.
The Network Behind It
Budden’s podcast co-hosts, as REVOLT lists them, include Marc Lamont Hill, Mona Love, Parks Vallely, Antwan “Ish” Marby, Lamar “Ice” Burney and Trevor “Queenzflip” Robinson. The show is no stranger to headlines; we covered its back-and-forth over Maino’s comments about 50 Cent, and Budden’s own news in his proposal to Shadée Monique.
How to Watch
The series airs weekly on Fridays at 10 p.m. ET. REVOLT says the channel is carried by providers including Spectrum, Xfinity and Verizon Fios, and anyone who misses the broadcast can stream each episode the following day on REVOLT’s app and website. More on our Celebrity page.
