iHeartMedia and Darren Davis Announce Long-Term Contract To Extend His Role As President of iHeartMedia Networks Group

New York, NY – August 8, 2017 – iHeartMedia, the leading media company in America with a greater reach in the U.S. than any other radio or television outlet, announced today a four-year contract extension with radio and media veteran Darren Davis.  Davis will continue in his critical role as President of iHeartMedia Networks Group reporting to Bob Pittman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of iHeartMedia, Inc.
 
Under the new agreement, Davis will continue to oversee the success and close integration of the company's extensive multiplatform assets, including the iHeartRadio Network, Premiere Networks, Total Traffic + Weather Network, and the NBC News Radio Network, as well as iHeartMedia’s in-house audio and visual creative agency. Davis will also continue as President of iHeartRadio, iHeartMedia’s all-in-one digital music, podcasting and live streaming radio platform - the fastest growing digital audio service in the U.S. that offers users thousands of live radio stations, personalized custom artist stations created by just one song or seed artist and the top podcasts and personalities. With over a billion downloads, iHeartRadio reached 100 million registered users this year, and continues to reach user milestones at a rate faster than any other radio or digital music service.  
 
Davis oversaw the launch of ‘iHeartRadio Plus’ and ‘iHeartRadio All Access’ on demand services powered by Napster in January 2017, which revolutionized the live radio experience. While 73 percent of consumers, which include users of on demand music services, continually cite radio as their primary source of music discovery, iHeartRadio’s on demand services allow listeners to bridge the divide between music discovery and music collecting by seamlessly incorporating true interactivity into the radio listening experience through a variety of features.
 
“We’re pleased that Darren will continue to lead the integration of our Networks group that enables iHeartMedia to harness the unparalleled power, reach and scale of our digital and broadcast platforms,” said Pittman. “His twenty-five-years of experience working in every facet of iHeartMedia means he has a unique understanding of every aspect of our company -- from our broadcast radio stations and iHeartRadio to our sales teams and partnerships, and how they can all work together to best serve our consumers, partners, affiliates and advertisers.”
 
“Since I was a kid, I knew I’d spend my life in radio,” said Davis. “I’ve seen a lot in the last twenty-five years as iHeartMedia has expanded into multiple platforms like the industry-leading iHeartRadio. There isn’t a day that goes by where I’m not amazed by iHeartMedia’s evolution, which is built on broadcast radio — my first love — and now provides one-of-a-kind programming, entertainment and opportunities to connect our advertising partners across our unparalleled range of multiple platforms in ways that no other company can. I’m thrilled to be continuing this journey.”  
 
Davis began his career in 1992 as an intern at iHeartMedia’s Adult Contemporary WASH-FM in Washington, DC, and celebrates his 25th anniversary with the company next month. He was named to the Program Director role at WASH-FM when he was just 23 years old and has since worked as Regional Vice President of Programming for iHeartMedia Detroit and Chicago, Senior Vice President of Programming and Executive Vice President and General Manager of National Programming before being named to his current position in 2014.  Davis also built and managed the Premium Choice national network and worked to develop iHeartMedia's strategic national programming capabilities.
 
Davis currently serves on the boards of the Radio Advertising Bureau and the New Jersey Broadcasters Association; is a member of the National Association of Broadcasters’ Digital Officer Committee; and is a perennial presence on Billboard’s Digital Power Players list and Radio Ink’s 40 Most Powerful People in Radio list. He is a graduate of The George Washington University.

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.
