iHeartMedia has launched "Marky Ramone Radio," a new digital station hosted by Rock and Roll Hall of Famer and longtime Ramones drummer Marky Ramone.

Available beginning today through the free iHeartRadio app and online, the station features a personally curated mix of music spanning punk, rock, Motown, soul, blues, British Invasion, new wave, jazz and other genres. Along with music, Ramone will share stories from his career, memories from his years with the Ramones and interviews with special guests.

"I'm happy to be joining iHeartRadio to host my own station," Ramone said. "I will play a variety of music that I like and some that I love... rock, motown, British invasion, punk, soul, new wave, jazz and a lot of surprises. I'll also talk about my musical career, my times with the Ramones and touring around the world. I'll also be talking to some cool people."

The launch coincides with the 50th anniversary of punk rock and Ramone's birthday.

Jon Zellner, President of Programming Operations & Digital Music for iHeartMedia, said the station offers fans an inside look at one of music's most influential genres. "Punk rock has always been about authenticity, individuality, and breaking the rules. No one embodies that spirit better than Marky Ramone," Zellner said. "As we celebrate the 50th anniversary of punk, Marky Ramone Radio gives fans unprecedented access to the music, stories, and artists that built one of the most influential genres of all time."

Harvey Leeds, CEO of Headquarters Media, said making the station available through the free iHeartRadio app ensures fans can enjoy the music that helped revolutionize rock and roll.

Listeners can access the station by searching "Marky Ramone" in the iHeartRadio app or at iHeartRadio.com.
