Said BENDER, "We have the greatest audience in the world. While we are still in the middle of the pandemic and surrounded by financial uncertainty, our listeners came through again - 19 radiothons and they still amaze me.  We saw an increase of almost 40% over last year's locked down event in studio. It felt so good to be back in person to hear the phones ringing again. There's no better sound.  This community continues to do everything it can to prop each other up and it always shows its true colors during radiothon."

In addition iHEARTMEDIA AC WASH-FM/WASHINGTON, DC, raised over $588,000 for CHILDREN'S NATIONAL HOSPITAL during their 97.1 WASH-FM FOR KIDS RADIOTHON last week (12/16-17).
