DALLAS, TX (July 27, 2026) - Learfield, the leading media and technology company powering college athletics, today announced a strategic partnership with Adventure 33 to launch Prism, a first-of-its-kind distribution platform built to power Learfield's terrestrial radio affiliates nationwide.
Together, Learfield and Adventure 33 have developed Prism, a modern, cloud-based platform that advances the next generation of audio distribution, delivering enhanced flexibility, efficiency and scalability for Learfield's 140+ school partners.
"Learfield invested in the development of Prism because we saw an opportunity to modernize audio distribution at scale and build a stronger foundation for the future-much as Clyde Lear did when he embraced satellite technology 50 years ago," said Ben Blevins, Senior Director of Broadcast Technology & Engineering at Learfield. "This partnership will deliver greater flexibility, reliability and efficiency for our affiliates and our school partners, while setting a new standard for audio delivery across the broadcast industry."
Learfield will be the first large radio network to move beyond satellite distribution, continuing to shape the future of audio delivery across the industry. Having directly supported the development of the transformative platform and industry solution, Learfield will implement the technology across several key properties and networks beginning this fall.
"Building Prism alongside Learfield has been rooted in real trust from day one, and that's the foundation every great partnership needs," said Adrian Berkovits, Founder and President of Adventure 33. "Prism represents a new blueprint for how audio moves, with impact that will reach far beyond college sports into the broadcast industry as a whole. This is the kind of shift our industry has been ready and waiting for. We're proud to build that future with Learfield as our partner."
