Premiere Networks and Hollywood Unlocked Founder/CEO Jason Lee have announced the launch of a new weekly radio show, "Hollywood Unlocked with Jason Lee." The two-hour, original program will debut August 17 on 50 iHeartMedia Urban stations, in addition to iHeartRadio. Co-hosted by Melyssa Ford and DJ Damage, the program concentrates on Hip Hop and pop culture along with celebrity news, information and gossip. Plus, candid conversations with the stars who will bring truth to the latest stories and rumors.
Additionally, Lee's podcast "Hollywood Unlocked Uncensored," which is also co-hosted by Ford and Damage and has more than 33 million views on its YouTube channel, is now available on iHeartRadio.
"When I first started Hollywood Unlocked four years ago, I had a dream of having a national show," said Lee. "After several years of working hard and never losing sight of my journey, this dream has now come into reality. Joining iHeartMedia and Premiere Networks with the likes of Ryan Seacrest, Big Boy, and The Breakfast Club is not only exciting, but also an honor to be added to this list of iconic trailblazers in the field of broadcast."
"Jason has created a brand that connects millions of fans with celebrity news, pop culture and exclusive star interviews across multiple platforms, including events, digital, social media and podcasting," said iHeartMedia Executive VP of Urban/Hip Hop Programming Strategy Doc Wynter. "He's a true influencer and we're excited to partner with him to expand Hollywood Unlocked to radio listeners across the country."
