iHeartRadio, iHeartMedia’s free all-in-one digital music and streaming
radio service, today
announced that it has surpassed 70 million registered users and
continues to deliver record setting growth. iHeartRadio reached this
milestone at a faster rate than any other radio or digital music service
and even faster than Facebook. And the fact that iHeartRadio’s
registered user milestone does not account for the millions of listeners
who tune into iHeartRadio’s live radio streams without registering means
its overall reach is even greater. In addition, the iHeartRadio network
reaches 87 million unique visitors each month and has achieved
80 percent brand awareness among consumers.
