How to Block Ad Categories from Appearing on Your Show

If there are specific types of ads you’d prefer not to have appear on your podcast, you can easily block those categories within your account settings.

Here’s how:

  1. Navigate to “Feed Settings” in the left sidebar.

  2. Scroll down to the section labeled “Ad Category Blocking.”

  3. From there, you’ll see a list of available ad categories. Select and block any categories you don’t want to appear on your show.

Your selections will automatically update and apply moving forward.

It can make sense to block certain categories if you’ve already sold your own baked-in, host-read sponsorships. Since when hosting with Creator Lab, Audacy only has exclusivity over pre-recorded, dynamically inserted ads (DAI), you retain full control over baked-in ads you sell and insert yourself. For example, if you’ve sold a baked-in ad to a supplement brand, you may want to block similar supplement ads from running dynamically on your show.

Keep in mind that the more categories you block, the fewer revenue opportunities we’ll be able to serve on your show.
