iHeartRadio
iHeartMedia today announced an agreement with NPR that will allow its Member stations to make their live News Talk programming
available via iHeartRadio, iHeartMedia’s free all-in-one digital music and live streaming radio service.
Through this agreement, more than 260 NPR Member stations will have the opportunity to stream their live programming on
iHeartRadio, which is available across more than 80 unique device platforms including in-home entertainment, wearables, gaming
consoles, enhanced auto dashboards and more. iHeartRadio has over a billion app downloads, more than 85 million registered users
and its network reaches more than 85 million social followers offering these public radio stations the ability to reach millions of
new listeners nationwide.
In support of the public radio mission, all stations that join iHeartRadio will also have access to fifty percent of their
individual iHeartRadio landing page's digital banner inventory to encourage listeners to donate and directly support the station's
public programming.
"The addition of NPR's Member stations helps to create even more signature audio content for iHeartRadio listeners," said Darren
Davis, President of iHeartRadio & iHeartMedia Networks. "By joining forces, it is the perfect way for public radio stations to
reach listeners on new platforms and to provide iHeartRadio users with additional high-quality News Talk programming wherever they
are."
"As part of our commitment to meeting audiences wherever they may be, this agreement provides another option for audiences to
find public radio on their preferred listening platforms," said Stephanie Miller, Managing Director of NPR Digital Services.
“iHeartRadio has been a valuable partner in helping us deliver and promote the content audiences most want, from The Current’s
Prince music marathon, to our kids’ stream Rock the Cradle to Garrison Keillor’s final broadcast as host of A Prairie Home
Companion,” said Diana Flotten, Director, Digital Partnerships and Business Development at American Public Media.
