“We’re thrilled to launch iHeartRadio Broadway. To be able to bring the very best of Broadway – from music, interviews, events
and more – to this passionate fan base in a way they can access anytime from anywhere is extraordinary,” said Scott Hopeck,
Division President for iHeartMedia. “Musical theater enthusiasts can now connect with their favorite shows, soundtracks and actors
in a way that only iHeartRadio can provide through this new platform. Extending the Broadway experience past your seat in the
theater is something that has been missing and we’re pleased that we will be able to provide fans a home for that missing
piece.”
To kick off the new station, iHeartRadio Broadway will host an exclusive VIP special launch event for the Broadway community
hosted by iHeartRadio’s Elvis Duran from “Elvis Duran and The Morning Show,” nationally syndicated on-air personality,
Delilah and 710 WOR’s Michael Riedel.
“I’m excited to be able to celebrate the variety of amazing talent throughout the Broadway community, not just only this
evening, but moving forward through iHeartRadio Broadway,” said Duran. “Now we have the opportunity to showcase Broadway shows and
their talent side by side with the other celebrities and artists we feature daily on our nationally syndicated morning show. To
have a dedicated platform where fans can enjoy and engage with all things Broadway whenever they want is truly amazing and I’m
looking forward to being a part of it.”
