[2] The company was created in 2018 through the combination of Endeavor's IMG College division and Learfield Communications of Missouri, managed by the Atairos Group.
The IMG College Audio Network consists of more than 2,100 radio stations airing primarily football and men's basketball games along with weekly call-in coaches' shows.
The media network also includes over 100 television stations airing weekly half hour coaches' shows for most of the universities represented by the company.
Host Communications was founded in 1974 and created one of the first college sports multimedia contracts with its creation of a radio network for the University of Kentucky.
The organization also co-owned the Longhorn Network (which shut down in 2024 due to the team’s realignment with the Southeastern Conference) and Campus Insiders, the latter through which it holds a stake in 120 Sports.
