LAKE PLACID, N.Y. (May 28, 2026) - USA Bobsled/Skeleton (USABS) is excited to announce a new partnership with iHeartRadio, iHeartMedia’s free all-in-one live radio, streaming music and podcasting platform, to expand recruitment efforts for the next generation of USA sliders.

As part of the partnership, iHeartMedia will contribute significant on-air and digital marketing support to help promote USA Bobsled and Skeleton recruitment events to a broader audience nationwide and will become the title sponsor for the 2026 Recruitment Series.

Bobsled and skeleton are unique sports because most athletes do not begin their sliding careers until their late teens or early 20s, transferring athletic skills developed in other sports to the ice track.

Each offseason, USABS hosts in-person recruitment events, as well as a virtual combine, to identify new talent. Athletes participating in the 2026 iHeartRadio USA Bobsled/Skeleton Recruitment Series are tested in a variety of skills, including:

• 40-yard sprint
• Broad jump and vertical jump
• 5-10-5 pro agility shuttle
• Kneeling power ball toss
• 20-yard resisted sprint

No prior sliding experience is required to participate.

Top-performing athletes identified through combine testing are invited to Lake Placid, New York, for Rookie Camp, where they further develop their skills and have the opportunity to push a sled on ice for the first time.

Through this partnership, iHeartRadio will play an active role in helping USABS recruit the next generation of champions for the USA. The collaboration provides a valuable opportunity to introduce bobsled and skeleton to a broader audience as the organization continues its mission to recruit world-class talent and win medals for the United States on the world stage.

"Having iHeartRadio as the title sponsor of the USA Bobsled/Skeleton Recruitment Series is a game-changing partnership for our organization. Their incredible reach will help us introduce bobsled and skeleton to new audiences, inspire talented athletes to explore these sports, and identify the next generation of USA competitors,” shared Aron McGuire, CEO of USABS.

"We’re proud to partner with USA Bobsled and Skeleton to help amplify their recruitment efforts nationwide,” said Michael Biondo, President of Business Development and Strategic Partnerships for iHeartMedia. “This is an incredible opportunity to inspire new athletes and support the future of the USA team."

League Exposure and Storytelling Opportunities to Grow with Access to Millions of iHeart Listeners Nationwide

ATLANTA – May 28, 2026 – INTENNSE, the revolutionary professional co-ed tennis league redefining the sport with its fast-paced, team-based format, today announced a landmark partnership with iHeartMedia, the No. 1 audio company in America and the largest podcast publisher globally, naming iHeartRadio the Official Audio Partner of INTENNSE. The partnership will bring INTENNSE’s unique brand of professional tennis to new audiences across iHeart’s unmatched multiplatform network.

Under the terms of the agreement, iHeartRadio will serve as the league’s official and exclusive audio partner, delivering promotional content, player storytelling, and INTENNSE programming across its live broadcast radio stations, iHeartRadio’s free streaming app, iHeartPodcasts network, digital platforms, and live events. The partnership is designed to amplify INTENNSE’s momentum as the league enters the 2026 season with 10 teams competing at Assembly Studios in Atlanta while building national awareness in advance of the league’s planned expansion and growth targets. Additionally, the INTENNSE Arena practice court will now become the “iHeart Practice Court.”

"iHeartMedia tells stories at a scale we simply can't replicate on our own, and that's exactly why this partnership matters," said Charles Allen, CEO, INTENNSE. "Tennis has never had a product like ours: co-ed, team-based, fast-paced, and built for the moment we're living in. But a great product still needs to find its audience, and iHeart opens doors well beyond where we are today. This is a chance to build something together, bring new fans into the INTENNSE world, and grow the league in ways that are good for everyone at the table." 

The partnership will be activated across iHeartMedia’s full ecosystem and will include original INTENNSE-branded audio content; live streamed iHeart Practice Court segments at select matches; promotional campaigns aired across iHeartMedia’s national network of broadcast radio stations; cross-platform digital campaigns that drive tune-in and build INTENNSE’s national fanbase; and iHeartRadio brand integration and on-site fan activations during INTENNSE live match events at Assembly Studios in Atlanta.

“INTENNSE represents exactly the kind of bold, innovative sports property that resonates with the iHeart audience – co-ed, team-driven and built for the next generation of sports fans,” said Michael Biondo, President of Business Development and Strategic Partnerships for iHeartMedia. “We’re proud to be the official audio partner of INTENNSE and to use the full power of our platform to introduce the league to millions of new fans from coast to coast.”

The partnership is structured to grow alongside INTENNSE as the league expands from its Atlanta hub, positioning iHeart as the league’s long-term audio and media partner at every stage of that growth. iHeartMedia’s unmatched local-to-national infrastructure — connecting Atlanta-market radio and digital with national podcast and streaming distribution — makes it the ideal platform partner for a league built to scale.

The iconic morning show becomes Netflix’s first daily live program airing each weekday, featuring nearly three hours of uninterrupted show with exclusive content during breaks

New York and Los Angeles – May 21, 2026 – iHeartMedia, the No. 1 audio company in America, and Netflix today announced the next major milestone in their video podcast partnership: The Breakfast Club, one of the most influential and culturally resonant broadcast radio morning shows in the country, will now stream live daily on Netflix, marking an unprecedented evolution of the show – and the first daily live program airing each weekday for Netflix.

Beginning June 1, The Breakfast Club, co-hosted by Charlamagne tha God, will air simultaneously as a live video show on Netflix each weekday, giving members nearly three hours of real‑time access to the show’s unfiltered conversations, headline‑driving interviews, and cultural commentary as it happens. While the radio broadcast will continue to include traditional commercial breaks, Netflix viewers will receive an enhanced, uninterrupted experience, with those breaks filled by exclusive bonus segments, behind‑the‑scenes moments, extended discussions and original content—resulting in nearly three continuous hours of programming each day.

This expansion builds on iHeartMedia and Netflix’s previously announced exclusive video podcast collaboration, unveiled in December, and represents how audio‑first franchises can thrive in a premium, video environment.

“The Breakfast Club has always been at the center of culture, breaking artists, shaping conversations, and reflecting real life in real time,” said Bob Pittman, Chairman and CEO for iHeartMedia. “Taking this show live every day to a global audience on Netflix is a powerful example of how we’re expanding the reach of our biggest brands while giving audiences entirely new ways to experience them. Whether it’s morning in NYC or the afternoon in London, the conversation is live and reaching the world in real time.”

“Do y’all understand what “Live Globally” really means? Mornings in New York. Daytime in the U.K. and Ghana. Evenings across other parts of the world,” said Charlamagne tha God. “The media landscape will always evolve, but one thing consistently cuts through: live programming. That’s a big reason The Breakfast Club has sustained its reign for so long. We’re building something powerful—real‑time conversation, real community, on a global scale. The future belongs to those who can see what’s possible—and trust me, the vision for The Breakfast Club and Netflix is crystal clear.”

With its live daily format, The Breakfast Club becomes one of the first shows of its kind on Netflix, showcasing the service’s growing investment in the podcast space and creator‑driven programming. The show will continue to feature its current lineup of hosts—Charlamagne tha God, DJ Envy and Jess Hilarious—bringing their signature energy, authenticity and cultural authority to Netflix members around the globe.

“The Breakfast Club has been a cultural staple for years, and we’re thrilled to make it our first daily live morning show on Netflix,” said Lauren Smith, Netflix VP of Content Licensing and Programming Strategy. "Every weekday, members can drop into nearly three hours of live, unfiltered conversation, plus exclusive moments they won’t hear anywhere else. It’s a big step forward in how we bring culturally defining audio‑first franchises to life for Netflix audiences around the world, and we’re excited to deepen our partnership with iHeartMedia.”

The morning program originates from iHeartMedia’s legendary Power 105.1/WWPR-FM in New York and will continue to be nationally syndicated by Premiere Networks on more than 100 broadcast radio stations nationwide and on the iHeartRadio app, with all audio‑only rights and distribution continuing to be retained by iHeartMedia. The enhanced Netflix version offers an additive experience—designed specifically for viewers.

Originally launched in 2010, The Breakfast Club has become the bullhorn for modern culture and is widely regarded as the most informative and entertaining top-rated contemporary Hip-Hop/R&B morning show today. Charlamagne Tha God and his co-hosts DJ Envy and Jess Hilarious are known for their unrivaled interviews with celebrities and recording artists. Esteemed guests who have appeared on the show include former President Barack Obama, former President Joe Biden, former Vice President Kamala Harris, Jay-Z, Cardi B, Kendrick Lamar, Kevin Hart, Snoop Dogg, Future, 50 Cent, Lizzo, Will Smith, Alicia Keys and many more. The crew also hosts “Weekends with The Breakfast Club,” a 3-hour weekly program featuring a countdown of the top 20 songs on the charts and signature interviews. Charlamagne Tha God and “The Breakfast Club” were inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame in 2020.

About Jonas Brothers

Standing out as one of the most successful groups of the 21st century, Jonas Brothers—Nick Jonas, Joe Jonas, and Kevin Jonas—have sold north of 20 million albums and counting, garnered two GRAMMY® Award nominations, earned 26 Billboard Hot 100 hits, logged three consecutive #1 debuts on the Billboard 200, and generated billions of streams. Among many accolades, they’ve recently claimed a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In 2019, they notably ignited the comeback of the decade with their Platinum-Certified Republic Records debut, Happiness Begins. It yielded the history-making, 5x-Platinum smash “Sucker,” which minted them as “the first group in the 21st century to debut at #1 on the Hot 100,” exploded as the “longest running #1 Pop Airplay Single of 2019,” and received a GRAMMY® Award nomination in the category of “Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.” Bowing at #1 on the Billboard 200, Happiness Begins impressively scored the “biggest sales week of 2019 at time of release” and housed the Double-Platinum “Only Human” and Platinum “Cool.” The band supported the album with the worldwide “Happiness Begins Tour”—selling over 1.2 million tickets—and the Amazon Original documentaries Chasing Happiness and Happiness Continues. Along the way, the members simultaneously juggled prolific solo careers extending into television, film, and successful business ventures. In 2023, Jonas Brothers once again proved they are a constant force, embarking on a new era with the release of The Album, via Republic Records. The Album was produced by Jon Bellion and features hit singles “Waffle House” and “Wings.” In support of the new album and this new era for Jonas Brothers, they kicked off “The Tour” with two sold-out shows at New York’s iconic Yankee Stadium. “The Tour” included stadium and arena dates around the globe through 2024, resulting in the band’s biggest and most extensive tour to date. 2025 marked a special year for Jonas Brothers as they celebrated their 20th anniversary as a band. To kick off the year, Jonas Brothers released two new singles–“Slow Motion” with producer Marshmello and “Love Me To Heaven.” They also hosted a milestone JONASCON fan event at New Jersey’s American Dream, where they celebrated 20 years of legacy, memories, and the Jonas Brothers fan community with over 75,000 fans from all over the world in attendance. JONASCON kicked off what became an unforgettable year for the Jonas Brothers, including their brand new album, Greetings from Your Hometown, and the highly anticipated ‘JONAS20: Greetings From Your Hometown’ Tour, which kicked off on August 10th at MetLife Stadium to a sold-out crowd. Rounding out their 20th anniversary year, the brothers’ hand and footprints were immortalized at the iconic TCL Theatre, and they were formally inducted into the New Jersey Hall of Fame. They also starred in the holiday film A Very Jonas Christmas Movie on Disney+.

NEW YORK- May 18, 2026- iHeartMedia and P&G announce the inaugural Elton John Impact Awards, celebrating trailblazing LGBTQ+ community members and prominent allies. Hosted by Billy Porter and Elvis Duran, the special will launch as a podcast series on the iHeartRadio app and everywhere podcasts are heard and as an audio special airing across iHeartRadio PRIDE stations on June 1. 

The Elton John Impact Awards recognizes those whose lifelong work has inspired change and shaped culture, while also giving back to LGBTQ+ organizations that uplift the communities they serve. 

The program will help drive visibility and funding for a range of frontline organizations working to support the LGBTQ+ community including the Elton John AIDS Foundation. In partnership with Brandi Carlile’s Looking Out Foundation, additional funds will be granted to CenterLink, GLAAD, the National Black Justice Collective, Outright International, SAGE, and the Trevor Project. Each organization addresses various critical needs across the LGBTQ+ community, such as supporting and advocating for LGBTQ+ elder care, increasing access to preventative health services and treatment, and providing mental health support for young people.

Created by iHeartMedia and P&G, the first-ever podcast awards ceremony recognizes the legendary individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the LGBTQ+ community, bringing together art, culture and impact. This year’s esteemed honorees include:

• Jonathan Bailey – Film, television and stage actor who launched The Shameless Fund to support LGBTQ+ charities.
• Laverne Cox - Emmy-nominated actress and Emmy-winning producer who has elevated transgender visibility in mainstream media and remains a powerful voice for equality and inclusion. 
• Melissa Etheridge - Grammy and Oscar-winning musician who has used her platform to champion LGBTQ+ rights for decades through personal storytelling within her music and cultural advocacy.
• Billie Jean King - Sports Icon and award-winning humanitarian who has spent her life advocating for gender and LGBTQ+ equality in and out of sports.
• Orville Peck – Trailblazing country performer who uses his artistic persona to blend traditional country aesthetics with queer themes and uses his platforms to create visibility and advocate for the LGBTQ+ community. 
• Chappell Roan – Pop icon who advocates for LGBTQ+ rights with her unapologetic artistry and founding of The Midwest Princess Project to support trans youth.

Hosted by Billy Porter and iHeartRadio’s Elvis Duran, the special will feature candid, personal conversations with Elton John, David Furnish, Chair of the Elton John AIDS Foundation, and this year’s legendary and iconic honorees. Listeners are invited behind the scenes to hear the stories, challenges, and defining moments that shaped each honoree’s journey, told in their own words like never before. To mark the inaugural broadcast, multiplatinum recording artist Dove Cameron will deliver a special performance of 'Your Song' in tribute to Elton John’s legacy. 

“I’ve always believed in the power of storytelling to connect us and challenge us,” said Elton John. “These conversations bring together the people who have shaped LGBTQ+ culture and fought for dignity at a time when the world too often looked away. Some are friends who stood beside me through the AIDS crisis, others are carrying the torch forward with the new generation. Hearing their stories and reflecting on how far we’ve come, and how far we still have to go, is deeply humbling. This is history that cannot be forgotten and these are voices that must be heard.”

The Elton John Impact Award was first introduced in 2022 at “Can’t Cancel Pride,” a virtual benefit concert launched by iHeartMedia and P&G, where Elton John was its inaugural recipient in recognition of his decades-long advocacy for LGBTQ+ rights and the fight to end AIDS. Since then, the award has honored trailblazers including Brandi Carlile and Billy Porter, evolving into the Elton John Impact Awards inspired by Elton’s legacy. Over the course of five years, Can't Cancel Pride raised over $17 million for LGBTQ+ nonprofits. 

“We’re honored to partner with Elton John and P&G to tell these stories of the incredible icons to celebrate their enduring impact on the LGBTQ+ community,” said Gayle Troberman, for iHeartMedia. “Because of this, we are also able to showcase what’s possible when we use our voice to support the organizations on the ground delivering critical support to those in need.” 

“We are proud to celebrate these cultural icons and community organizations that both inspire and support people in communities around the world,” said Brent Miller for P&G.  “Through their efforts, they have helped us to better understand and uplift each other while working to create a world where equality and inclusion are achievable for all.  They each use their special gifts—whether in the arts, athletics or community impact—to help inspire others with hope, action and impact.”   

“The Elton John Impact Awards spotlight the vital work of organizations protecting LGBTQ+ communities and advancing health equity around the world,” said David Furnish, Chair of the Elton John AIDS Foundation. “At a time when LGBTQ+ rights and health equity remain under threat globally, investing in organizations on the frontlines has never been more urgent.”

A panel of inspirational leaders worked closely with Elton John to select this year’s honorees. Advisory Council members include Chair of the Elton John AIDS Foundation and CEO of Rocket Entertainment David Furnish; three-time Tony plus Grammy, Emmy and Drama Desk-winning artist Billy Porter; Grammy and Emmy Award-winning and Oscar-nominated musician Brandi Carlile; the Elton John AIDS Foundation CEO Anne Aslett; and Can’t Cancel Pride’s and Elton John Impact Awards’ Founding Producers P&G’s Brent Miller and iHeartMedia's John Sykes.

Proud charitable foundation partners of this year’s event include the Elton John AIDS Foundation and The Looking Out Foundation. Since it was founded in 1992, the Elton John AIDS Foundation has provided support and care for the LGBTQ+ community and tackled the stigma that stands in the way of ending AIDS for everyone, everywhere. Since 2020, the Foundation has awarded more than 55 grants and invested over $23 million in programs across 47 countries. The Looking Out Foundation amplifies the impact of music by awarding grants, engaging community, and creating powerful partnerships. From neighborhood to nation, we activate our dedicated coalition of fan volunteers and use our platform to uplift humanitarian causes, organizations, and activists leading the fight to create a better world.

LOS ANGELES – May 12, 2026 –  iHeartPodcasts, the No. 1 podcast publisher globally according to Podtrac, today announced “Bill and Giuliana: The Podcast,” a candid new series from longtime television personalities and entrepreneurs, Bill and Giuliana Rancic. Blending humor, honesty, and lived experience, the duo brings refreshingly real conversations to the podcast space. Listen to the premiere episode now available HERE. 

Each week, “Bill and Giuliana: The Podcast” will dive into some of the internet’s most searched and often unspoken questions. From popular searches like “Why is my poop green?” to more personal issues like “Is divorce contagious?”, “Do I have adult ADHD?” or “Do I need filler or a facelift?” no subject is too small or too serious. With their signature chemistry and openness, Bill and Giuliana will be joined by trusted experts, notable guests and celebrity friends, ensuring every conversation is honest, insightful and entertaining.

The podcast also marks a natural evolution for Bill and Giuliana, who first invited audiences into their lives on their hit reality series, “Giuliana and Bill,” which ran for seven seasons on E!. While the show documented their personal journey in real time, the podcast expands on that connection, offering a more candid and in-depth space to explore the conversations they’ve been having for years.

“We’ve spent years having these kinds of conversations at our own kitchen table, and we realized everyone is asking the same questions; they’re just not always saying them out loud,” said Bill and Giuliana Rancic. “This podcast is about creating a space where every topic can be explored openly. We want people to laugh with us, learn with us, and feel a little less alone in whatever they’re going through.”

Giuliana Rancic, an Emmy Award-winning journalist, entrepreneur, and New York Times bestselling author, is best known for her two decades as a leading entertainment host and red-carpet correspondent. Bill Rancic, a serial entrepreneur, motivational speaker, New York Times bestselling author, and the first-ever winner of NBC’s “The Apprentice,” has built a career spanning business, media and publishing. Together, they co-own the RPM Restaurant Group, which includes seven restaurants and growing consumer brands such as Giuliana Prosecco and the newly launched Mama Depandi’s pasta line.

“Bill and Giuliana: The Podcast” is distributed by iHeartPodcasts as part of its Popworthy slate, where trending culture and nostalgia intersect.
