I look forward to continue growing 'On with MARIO LOPEZ' and launching the iCountdown on Hot AC stations nationwide, while sharing my life with our wonderful listeners for years to come.”
“Over the past two years, we’ve seen how MARIO’s passion for music and his relationships with artists, along with his friendly, relatable style, can attract and engage audiences across multiple platforms, while enabling brands and partners to create powerful connections with consumers,” stated PREMIERE NETWORKS EVP/Entertainment Programming JENNIFER LEIMGRUBER. “What we have achieved together is only the start, and we look forward to expanding MARIO’s unique and compelling brand of entertainment to more listeners nationwide as we expand 'On with MARIO LOPEZ' and the iHEARTRADIO Countdown.”
