Third Party Developers Now Able to Create Their Own Complete iHeartRadio Experience

Clear Channel Radio, the leading media company in America with a greater reach than any radio or television outlet, today announced the public availability of its application programming interface (API) and affiliate program for iHeartRadio, the Company's free, industry-leading digital radio service. The Developer Program will enable third parties and developers to easily integrate iHeartRadio's unique content and services into their own products, web pages and applications.

iHeartRadio brings users a best-in-class customizable digital listening experience that combines the best of both worlds to deliver everything listeners want in one free, fully-integrated service: more than 800 of the nation's most popular live broadcast and digital-only radio stations from 150 cities, plus user-created Custom Stations.

Using iHeartRadio's Developer Program, third-party developers will have the opportunity to create their own innovative versions of iHeartRadio on their platforms. The iHeartRadio API includes access to many of the service's features, including its live broadcast and digital-only stations and Custom Stations as well as a deep social media integration.

"By making iHeartRadio's API available, we're empowering developers to bring the full strength of iHeartRadio to life in their own creative ways," said Brian Lakamp, President of Clear Channel Digital. "Opening our API will unlock exciting opportunities to enrich the unique, combined live and custom radio experience that only iHeartRadio provides. This move also builds on our commitment to be everywhere our listeners expect us to be, with the best products and services."
