iHeartMedia/New York Launches Broadway Streaming Channel

New Stream

IHEARTMEDIA/NEW YORK has launched a digital streaming radio station devoted to BROADWAY and the theater.  iHEARTRADIO BROADWAY, with MERCEDES BENZ as "founding partner," includes a playlist of show tunes as well as interviews with BROADWAY stars and hosts from the cluster's other stations, including PREMIERE NETWORKS and Top 40 WHTZ (Z100) morning man ELVIS DURAN, News-Talk WOR-A morning co-host MICHAEL RIEDEL, and AC WLTW (106.7 LITE FM)'s CHRISTINE NAGY. 

The stream will be accompanied by a website, iHEARTRADIOBROADWAY.COM, with theater news, videos, interviews, podcasts, and contests.  DURAN, RIEDEL, and syndicated night host DELILAH will host a special VIP launch event.

“We’re thrilled to launch iHEARTRADIO BROADWAY. To be able to bring the very best of BROADWAY -- from music, interviews, events and more -- to this passionate fan base in a way they can access anytime from anywhere is extraordinary,” said iHEARTMEDIA Division President SCOTT HOPECK. “Musical theater enthusiasts can now connect with their favorite shows, soundtracks and actors in a way that only iHEARTRADIO can provide through this new platform. Extending the BROADWAY experience past your seat in the theater is something that has been missing and we’re pleased that we will be able to provide fans a home for that missing piece.”

“I’m excited to be able to celebrate the variety of amazing talent throughout the BROADWAY community, not just only this evening, but moving forward through iHEARTRADIO BROADWAY,” said DURAN. “Now we have the opportunity to showcase Broadway shows and their talent side by side with the other celebrities and artists we feature daily on our nationally syndicated morning show. To have a dedicated platform where fans can enjoy and engage with all things BROADWAY whenever they want is truly amazing and I’m looking forward to being a part of it.”
