No context directly related, the term is part of a list for a communication action plan including TV shows, newsletters, printed magazines, videos on social media, radio including radio shows, quiz games and "speak animateur"

Here is the definition of "speak animateur"

Definition:
Dans le domaine de la publicité radio, un speak d’animateur est une publicité « parlée » diffusée en direct à l’antenne et énoncée par l’animateur de l’émission. Le format speak animateur est notamment souvent utilisé sur les radios locales car il permet aux petits annonceurs d’éviter d’investir dans la production d’un spot . Il est également employé sur les radios nationales, notamment dans le cadre de campagnes de parrainage radio. Dans ce cas, il permet une meilleure intégration de la publicité dans le programme et de bénéficier de la « caution » de l’animateur.

presenter promotion

This was the first thing that sprang to mind, though it gets disappointingly few Ghits!
Peer comment(s):

disagree SafeTex : Sounds more like the presenter got a promotion.

It wouldn't taken in context, it would be obvious it was a 'promotion by the presenter'.

live read

As an avid podcast listener myself, I have heard dozens of ads read out by the host or presenter of a podcast or radio show. Lots of web pages discuss "live reads" (see links below), here is the Wikipedia definition from when it was first used in radio:

There is a broad range of choices for type and length of radio commercials. With changes in the radio industry and better production technologies, the mode of commercial presentation has changed, and commercial advertisements can take on a wide range of forms. The two primary types of radio ads are "live reads" and produced spots.

Cousin to the ad-libbed commercial, live read refers to when a DJ reads an advertiser's spot on the air, delivered from a script, fact sheet or personal knowledge. It can also refer to when the DJ "endorses" the advertiser's goods or services. The Radio Advertising Bureau (RAB) defines an endorsement as: "where the station or personality "endorses" the advertiser's product or service, usually "live on-air.

product placement (presenter)

Hello

This type of advertising is product placement if I'm not mistaken but the person doing it does not seem to have a special name
Please see my references to decide if we're on the right track

Another link where Ofcom specifically speaks about product placement and the radio

Peer comment(s):

disagree Tony M : AFAIK, 'product placement' only applies to visual media. The emphasis here is on specifically the person doing it. / Your OFCOM ref. doesn't actually support your argument! In any case, this is not referring to any kind of product placement.

The title of the Offcom doc is "Brands to benefit from PRODUCT PLACEMENT in RADIO". So you stick with your "presenter promotion" if you want and we all hope he got a big raise !
