iHeartMedia and Fox Broadcasting Co. have announced that the fan-driven 2019 iHeartRadio Music Awards will air live Thursday, March 14 on FOX, from Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. The event will once again broadcast live simultaneously on iHeartMedia radio stations nationwide and on iHeartRadio. Now in its sixth year, the iHeartRadio Music Awards is a star-studded event celebrating the most-played artists and songs on iHeartRadio stations and the iHeartRadio app throughout 2018, while also offering a preview of the upcoming hits of 2019.

The program will feature live performances from the biggest artists in music, as well as surprise duets and collaborations, and award presentations in multiple categories. Since the Awards' inception in 2013, the show has included live performances and appearances by artists such as Bon Jovi, Maroon 5, Camila Cabello, Bruno Mars, Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Ed Sheeran, Big Sean, Rihanna, Sam Smith, Lady Gaga, Madonna, Blake Shelton, Pharrell, Pitbull and Justin Bieber, among others.

In addition to celebrating music and artists, the iHeartRadio Music Awards celebrates the fans, millions of whom cast their votes for their favorite artists through social media. The 2018 iHeartRadio Music Awards garnered over 216 billion social media impressions in the U.S. alone.

"This is a show that is truly controlled by music fans, because it celebrates the artists and songs that they listened to all year long on our 850 broadcast radio stations and the iHeartRadio app," said iHeartMedia President of Entertainment Enterprises John Sykes. "FOX has established itself as a premier television destination for music fans, which has made it a natural home for our Awards."

"There's no more powerful brand in the business than iHeartRadio," said Fox Broadcasting President, Alternative Entertainment and Specials Rob Wade. "iHeartRadio is fans' first stop to listen to their favorite artists and find the next breakout star. We're proud to be their partner as we honor this year's biggest music artists."
