iHeartMedia taps radio and entertainment icon Martha Quinn to host "The Martha Quinn Show," a new midday program launching January 10 that will air across more than 35 iHeartMedia stations, including stations in San Francisco, Seattle, Milwaukee, Salt Lake City, Minneapolis, St. Louis and more. The show will feature original MTV VJ Martha Quinn with her daily benchmark features like Martha's Mixtape, Totally Awesome News, Martha's Wellness Shot and more. Her show will also showcase much of the music that she introduced as an original MTV VJ.

"Martha has such a genuine and uplifting personality and she constantly brings excitement and positivity to listeners," said iHeartMedia Chief Programming Officer and President of the National Programming Group Tom Poleman. "She has an unmatched ability to connect with her audience, not to mention an amazing playlist filled with the songs she helped make famous through the years. We know that listeners across the country will fall in love with Martha Quinn, just as audiences everywhere have for decades."

"For over five years, I've been bowled over by the passion and support of our San Francisco listeners," added Quinn. "And now I get to bond with music fans all across the country, what an honor. A million thanks to the awesome team at iHeartMedia."

Martha Quinn, weeks after graduating New York University, was chosen to be one of the world's first MTV VJ's in July of 1981. As an interviewer, she sat opposite music's biggest stars including Paul McCartney, Prince, Cher and Van Halen. Quinn includes her listeners in her list of superstars she looks forward to connecting with.

Quinn joined iHeartMedia in 2016 as the host of "The Martha Quinn Morning Show" on KOSF in San Francisco.
