Well its safe to say why the volume has increased...there goes a lot of that free stock insiders gave themselves!! Interesting how a chunk came to the market prior to the announcement. One down...who's next?
I'm a stayin' Endo. The Villain's have the opportunity, if they have the intelligence, to either sell or merge this Lil' Cash Cow. Unlike Wizzy, I've not seen the pimps dump. Their continually trying to accumulate more by any means. What concerns me is why they haven't done anything regarding their plans to reverse split and/or so called, NASDAQ listing. I'd love to see LSYN off the "Bulletin Board", allowing the Big Board firms the ability to trade/make markets in it. Most BD's have their $5 rule and margin requirements. My opinion is, Mgmt is trying to load up before, and while they can. However, those who hesitate....
NASDAQ WHEN!?!
I price in worst case scenario.
I'm looking for .065 to .07 for the quarter
I'm looking for .065 to .07 for the quarter
Hell, Camac might just get the 67% to oust the crew. I always thought 50.1% could get it done! Having their atty on the board might construe a conflict of interest. I see legal fees in the future paid for by we all know who
Thanks Endo! Time to shake out the crooks!!
Guess they put the kabash on Camac
Libsyn has a new agreement with Entercom, a leading media and entertainment company and one of the two largest radio broadcasters in the United States ?? to distribute Libsyn podcasts on RADIO.COM, Entercom’s integrated digital platform #CueHappyDance
Look at times of both posts :)
The largest independent podcast host Libsyn has released its Q1 earnings report. Libsyn’s podcast revenue increased by 16% to $3.3m (and, including Pair Networks, the company got $6.28m in revenue, up 24% year-on-year). Libsyn now hosts 62,000 shows (and 4.9m media files); it claims it’s responsible for around 35% of the Apple Podcasts top 200, and delivered over 5.1 billion downloads in 2018.
Hmmm...so it looks like they're saying .05+ per share in earnings for the quarter?
My Calculations were off by a penny. I figured .14, but good numbers. Concerned about awards being redone because they say one thing and it turns out another. Each WZE, FUTU, FABU insider was given a substantial kiss with regards to LSYN. Non performance shouldn't be used for extension! As a shareholder, I've waited because of their incentive bonuses...where's my reward? Disappointed advertising revenues were down, but was glad they too know this, and are attempting to rectify. These again, are the first full year of numbers using both LSYN and PAIR. I'll give them another quarter which I feel will give me better guidance for long term decision. I'll leave it at the fact, my personal stock is 25x cheaper than any insider
So...we get all these new, apparently wealthy insiders, issued a ton of stock...and then none can pony up this additional capital needed? Come on, its only $500G's The Slyguy thinks perhaps he's getting bent over!! I'll wait...watch...learn and listen...temporally!!
Something is amiss? Anybody got opinions?
I'm thinking NASDAQ and or stock split. Numbers coming out soon also
Missed it Atlanta, thanks for pointing out!
There goes one insider dumping! Next
Sirius is negotiating merger with Pandora. I can see the fit and would like to see this so called NASDAQ listing happen already. The numbers are already there!!
I still think LSYN will be bought out, even more now :)

Pandora Launches Podcasts as Its Merger with Sirius XM Nears -- Barrons.com
10:45 am ET November 13, 2018 (Dow Jones) Print
By David Marino-Nachison
Pandora Media (P), moving toward a merger with Sirius XM Holdings (SIRI), continues to develop its product, on Tuesday announcing the launch of a first version of its podcast service.
The service, currently available in a mobile-only beta mode, will be more widely available "in the coming weeks," the company said. A focus of Pandora's announcement was on discovery, the company saying that recommendations will be a key component of the offering.
This announcement had been generally expected, with management saying during a July conference call with investors that it planned to launch before year's end. CEO Roger Lynch said at the time not to expect any financial impact in 2018, with podcast monetization still "in the relatively early innings."
"We would expect throughout next year to start to see some results from that," Lynch said on the second-quarter call, a transcript of which is available on Seeking Alpha. (The company didn't do a third-quarter call.) "But obviously it is too early to tell how quickly that listening will ramp."
One measure of how far podcast advertising revenue still has to grow: This summer, a report from the Interactive Advertising Bureau and PwC US estimated that the total market will still be a good bit under $1 billion in 2020. (Pandora is expected to report total revenue of about $1.56 billion this year, according to FactSet.)
The Sirius XM merger is expected to close early next year, and CEO James Meyer said in September after the deal was announced that "both Pandora and Sirius believe we both need to take a more active step in podcasting."
Meyer sees cross-promotion of both products across both audiences as a key strength of the deal as they battle other tech companies, Spotify Technology (SPOT) among them, for market share in a business that's still mostly offline. Some observers have expressed doubts about whether it'll work.
"We still see Pandora struggling to grow active listeners and lay out a path to sustainable profitability," Dougherty & Co. analyst Steven Frankel wrote Tuesday. "Contrary to our skepticism, SiriusXM clearly sees value here."
Meanwhile, podcasting is generally seen as a must-have component of any streaming audio offering as 2019 nears. "Our opportunity really is gigantic," Spotify CEO Daniel Ek said in November on an earnings call.
"There aren't too many companies in the world that are focused on that opportunity of bringing audio online, and as part of that, obviously, we think non-music content has a very important place," Ek said. "We're really investing in both improving the user experience around that, but also improving monetization for creators in that space."

Should be trading at well over $2.50-3.15 with industry average PE around 35! Where's this NASDAQ listing!! I'm thinking there's some inside shenanigan's going on. Shouldn't take this long to become listed!!
Well, we know the boards the same....WTF, why can't they produce the other 3 points!
I agree Poor Trader, its a viable shell! Pay attention to FUTU ;)
Strikes me funny that Sadler and company has a lot to do with M&A. Just saying. Makes one wonder why the big stock awards and compensation packages the boyz are taking
Hmmm...LSYN and FUTU seem to have jumped in bed with new accounting firm. Thoughts?
Question: What happens with performance awards they gave themselves? An award via a reverse split for NASDAQ listing? Award for share price via reverse split?
Remember...their stock splits also with same restrictions
Google launching Podcast app
Next few days should be exciting in the podcast biz!!

Wonder why the delay in Nasdaq listing?
PITTSBURGH, PA / ACCESSWIRE / May 8, 2018 / Liberated Syndication, Inc. (OTCQB: LSYN) ("Libsyn"), a worldwide leader of podcast hosting, distribution and monetization, announced today the launch of a new template for podcast creators to quickly and easily create Alexa skills customized for their show. Libsyn worked with Amazon to design an individual podcast skill template meant to provide a great listener experience for podcast audiences with an Alexa-enabled device.
Individual podcast skills are already available for The Dave Ramsey Show, The Joe Rogan Experience, Hardcore History with Dan Carlin and the Ad Age Ad Lib Podcast, with thousands of other Libsyn-hosted podcasts to be launched in 2018.
The new Alexa skills are built for individual shows and allow the listener to navigate podcast content in the same manner that television, movies, music and other digital content is consumed on Amazon Echo and other Alexa-enabled devices. Today, there are tens of millions of Alexa-enabled devices. Alexa skills for each podcast will be available and searchable in the Alexa Skill Store via the Alexa app or on Amazon.com. Alexa can be found on over 20 million devices primarily on the Echo, Echo Dot, Tap, Echo Show, Fire TV and Fire Tablet.
"We believe smart speakers like Amazon Echo and other Alexa-enabled devices have the potential to change how and where podcasts are consumed," said Rob Walch VP of podcaster relations with Libsyn. "Audiences love the convenience of being able to control their favorite podcast on Alexa using their voice. We are thrilled to help podcasters optimize their content for voice and build Alexa skills that can extend their brand to reach even more listeners."

THE PODCASTING BOOM
The podcast, a name originating from a portmanteau of “iPod” and “broadcast”, was first coined in 2004 by journalist Ben Hammersley of the BBC and The Guardian.
Despite being a feasible form of content even during the age of MP3 players and early broadband connections, the format has only really hit the mainstream in recent years. It’s hard to explain why, but most experts point to increased mobility, better production value, and a group of content creators that have recently managed to capture the imagination of the broader public.
Regardless, in recent years, the podcasting space has boomed to new levels of popularity. Today, the percentage of Americans that listen to podcasts is 24%, which is double what it was in 2013.
Further, the advertising market for podcasts is growing as well. In 2015, the ad market for podcasts was $69 million – but by 2017, the market was triple the size at an estimated $220 million. Podcasts allow advertisers to tap into very specific audience psychographics, and podcasts offer higher CPMs ($25-45) for successful publishers than traditional online content ($1-$20).
I find it interesting watching the traders step out of the way on the bid side while watching big fill trades in between. Think the Boyz are liquidating their tradable stock
Dilution and debt:
We'll need to wait until mid-March to see some numbers regarding the aquisition. My opinion, sure we'll have dilution, but we'll also have a much stronger bottom line. I'm looking for a share price around $2.50-$3 by the time numbers are posted ($5-$7 once NASDAQ listing)
