iHeartRadio is the

#1 streaming radio digital service

in America;

Our

social media footprint

is 7 times larger than the next largest audio service; and

We have

the only complete audio ad technology stack in the industry for all forms of audio , from on‑demand to broadcast radio, digital streaming radio and podcasting, which bring data, targeting and attribution to all forms of audio at an unparalleled scale. As a result, we’re able to combine our strong leadership position in audience reach, usage and ad tech with powerful tools and insights for our sales organizations to help them build success for their clients at a more efficient cost than any other option.

Because we reach almost every community in America, we’re committed to providing a range of programming that reflects the diversity of the many communities we serve – and our company reflects that same kind of diversity.
