New Kids on the Block, UB40, Colin Hay of Men At Work, Rick Astley, Starship, Eddie Money, Night Ranger and More to Perform Live at SAP Center in The Bay Area, Hosted by Martha Quinn

New York, N.Y. – November 1, 2016 – iHeartMedia, the leading media company in America with a greater reach in the U.S. than any other radio or television outlet, announced today the return of its iHeart80s Party hosted by Martha Quinn, when the most beloved music icons of the ‘80s will come together at the SAP Center in San Jose, Calif. on January 28, 2017 to celebrate the unforgettable and influential decade.

The music of the iHeartRadio app’s popular iHeart80s Radio station will once again come to life with live performances from New Kids on the Block, UB40, Colin Hay of Men At Work, Rick Astley, Starship, Eddie Money and Night Ranger.

“The music of the 80’s defined a generation in America three decades ago -- and it's still driving pop culture today,” said John Sykes, President of iHeartMedia Entertainment Enterprises. “Last year’s iHeart80s Party sold out in minutes, showing the enduring popularity of 80s artists and their music.”

The 2016 inaugural event in Los Angeles was hosted by Martha Quinn and featured live performances from some of the decade’s biggest music superstars, including Tears For Fears, Culture Club, Billy Idol, Missing Persons, Rick Springfield and Loverboy. The 2016 iHeart80s Party also included special guest presenters Corey Feldman, Kris Jenner, Michael Winslow, Harry Hamlin, iJustine, Wendi McLendon-Covey, Jordan Fisher, Serayah, Mario Lopez and more.

The 80s ranks as one of the most important American decades in terms of influencing today's pop culture, and Millennials, 44 million of whom were born in the '80s, are increasingly rediscovering the decade. Following the major success of the first iHeart80s Party, which sold out in minutes, iHeartMedia launched iHeart80s in San Francisco in June 2016, a broadcast extension of the popular iHeart80s station on iHeartRadio, the all-in-one streaming music and live digital radio service.  The 80s-dedicated broadcast station features music from the decade and iconic MTV personality Martha Quinn as the host of its weekday morning show.

“Launching iHeart80s on one of our FM stations in San Francisco makes the Bay Area the ideal place to host this year’s show,” said Tom Poleman, President of National Programming Group for iHeartMedia. “This year’s incredible roster of performers is a perfect example of why the ‘80s remain so popular, and we can’t wait to bring the iHeart80s Party to the Bay Area in 2017.”

Beginning Monday, December 26, 2016, iHeartRadio will launch a four-week nationwide promotion to give thousands of 80s music fans across the country the opportunity to win a trip to San Jose to attend the iHeart80s Party. The promotion will run across more than 150 iHeartMedia Mainstream AC, Hot AC and Classic Hits stations. Fans who cannot attend the iHeart80s Party will be able to listen live on iHeartMedia’s Mainstream AC, Hot AC, and Adult Hits radio stations across the country or on iHeartRadio.com. 

The iHeart80s Party is part of iHeartMedia's incredibly successful roster of major concert events, which includes the iHeartRadio Music Festival, which features more than 20 A-list artists across every music genre converging in Vegas for two nights, on one stage; the iHeartRadio Summer Pool Party; the iHeartRadio Fiesta Latina; the nationwide iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Concert Tour; the iHeartCountry Festival; and the nationally televised iHeartRadio Music Awards, which this year generated 115 billion social media impressions.

Tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday, November 4, at 10 a.m. PT. For more information visit iHeartRadio.com/iHeart80sParty​. The iHeart80s Party is an iHeartMedia Production.

Fans who cannot attend the iHeart80s Party will be able to listen live on iHeartMedia Mainstream AC, Hot AC, and Adult Hits radio stations across the country or on iHeartRadio.com. Streaming details will be announced soon.

First Suite of Data-Driven Products that Serve Both the Audio and Video Marketplaces

New York, NY – June 19, 2017 – iHeartMedia and Fox Networks Group (FNG) today announced the launch of Smart A/V Audiences, the first suite of data-driven advertising products available to the marketplace offering campaigns including both Audio and Video creative units integrated onto one platform. Smart A/V Audiences will bring the precision and immediacy of digital advertising to the scale of broadcast radio and television for the first time by creating custom audiences based on the combined power of FNG and iHeartMedia data sets.

Smart A/V Audiences will enable brands to deliver more relevant messages by leveraging Smart A/V data to target consumers based on specific interests and passions like music, sports, specific shows, teams and personalities and then serve to those audiences across a combined audio and video platform. Brands will be able to deliver more compelling creative across platforms by tapping into local data and dynamic creative capabilities based on triggers like weather, sports scores, stock market performance and more. Smart A/V Audiences will launch in beta this fall.

Smart A/V Audiences builds on iHeartMedia’s recently launched SmartAudio, which leverages the power of its programmatic solution to help advertisers evaluate, plan and buy broadcast radio, enabling them to build innovative campaigns that target key audience cohorts. It also complements FNG’s latest initiatives, including OpenAP and UP//LIFT, which leverage new ad formats and data to deliver higher impact ad units.

“We launched SmartAudio with the goal of continually expanding it with innovative and impactful ways to help our advertising partners revolutionize the way they buy ads,” said Bob Pittman, Chairman and CEO of iHeartMedia. “Now by combining our assets with the unparalleled data and video assets of Fox, advertising partners can leverage audio and visual as one integrated platform. This is a major breakthrough for the industry and for marketers, allowing brands to leverage both audio and visual platforms to reach consumers like never before."

“Our collaboration with iHeartMedia exemplifies our commitment to creating cross-platform and cross-company tools that enable us to efficiently and effectively deliver targeted audiences to brands, ensuring that the most impactful and engaging messages are being told,” said FNG President of Advertising Revenue Joe Marchese. “Smart A/V unites two companies that are innovators in their fields, and together we are uniting the power of customized targeting with real-time creative optimization across television and radio.” 

The suite of data-driven products will include:

• Smart A/V Audiences: Audience profiles leveraging both companies’ collective data (auto intenders, moms, kids under eight, etc.) as well as more specialized audience profiles based on characteristics of their unique audiences (shows, sports, talent, news and music affinity, etc.)
• Smart A/V Adapt: Will enable creative and campaign optimizations that are driven by shared data and technologies. FNG will optimize flighting for brand lift performance and iHeartMedia will optimize creative messaging for the context of the consumer.

Gayle Troberman, Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer for iHeartMedia, added: “Marketers have been looking for more integrated data solutions and by joining forces we can deliver very specific targeting seamlessly across radio, TV and digital from cars to couches and everywhere in between. We will now have the ability to precision target at massive scale based on everything from consumer passions for music, sports and programming to sentiments, moments and locations, creating more relevance and better context for results than ever before in broadcast advertising. This is the next greenfield for creatives and data scientists to align.”

Ed Davis, Chief Product Officer for FNG Advertising Sales, commented: “Being able to assemble the right audience, at scale, is the first component in generating the best possible returns for advertisers.  The second component is the ability to tune live campaign creative and exposure profiles based on our real-time monitoring of brand performance data.  Sharing the necessary data between Fox and iHeartMedia unlocks the best mechanics to move consumers.”

He previously served as Senior Vice President of Programming for iHeartMedia and oversaw programming and marketing for all iHeartMedia radio properties in New York, Philadelphia, Miami, Boston and Providence. Poleman’s extensive programming background includes overseeing Z100/New York, one of the most successful pop stations in the history of the medium.

He has also made multiple appearances on Billboard Magazine’s Power 100 list, including being listed in the top 20 in 2017.

“From the moment I stepped foot into WVBR at Cornell University in 1983, I knew I’d found my passion,” said Poleman. “I’ve seen a lot in the ensuing thirty five years, but nothing has made me more excited for our industry’s future than iHeartMedia’s continued evolution as a leader in media and entertainment across multiple platforms. We have the best stations, events and media assets in the world, including our amazing personalities and programmers. It’s an honor to be part of this amazing team.”
