iHeart Radio Surpasses 135 Million Downloads!

Clear Channel Media and Entertainment today announced that its popular iHeartRadio digital radio service has been downloaded more than 135 million times. The entire iHeartRadio network, with its more than 48 million monthly digital uniques, continues to bring incremental listening to Clear Channel's 239 million monthly listeners.

In addition, iHeartRadio's registered users continue to grow rapidly, faster than all other popular entertainment platforms including Facebook, Twitter, Pandora, Spotify and Instagram. Since its launch 13 months ago at the inaugural iHeartRadio Music Festival, iHeartRadio has exceeded more than 20 million registered users. Registered users are only a percentage of iHeartRadio's overall listeners, since registration is only required for the Custom Station feature which launched in September 2011.

"iHeartRadio has experienced unprecedented growth as it continues to resonate with our listeners and super-serve our partners," said Brian Lakamp, President of Digital, Clear Channel Media and Entertainment. "The reach of our broadcast radio properties, combined with our digital platforms truly creates unmatched promotional power that is unique to Clear Channel and allows us to be wherever our listeners are with the products and services they expect."
