Empire State Building Gives Gift To New York City – And The World – With Its First-Ever Led Tower Light Show Featuring Alicia Keys
class="page-title">
Empire State Building Gives Gift To New York City – And The World – With Its First-Ever Led Tower Light Show Featuring Alicia Keys
World’s Most Famous Office Building Unveils Custom, Innovative LED Lighting System Created by Philips Color Kinetics Synchronized Live on Clear Channel New York Stations to Hits by Alicia Keys
New York, NY (November 26, 2012) /PRNewswire/ — Tonight, the world-famous Empire State Building (ESB), in collaboration with Clear Channel Media and Entertainment and 14 time Grammy® Award winner, Alicia Keys, will give a gift to New York City and the world by revealing ESB’s new, one-of-a-kind LED tower lights with a first-ever light show on the Landmark. This show marks the official unveiling of a groundbreaking new LED lighting system, developed by the world’s leader in LED lighting Philips Color Kinetics (PCK).
At 9:00 p.m. ET, Alicia Keys will help kick off the light show by flipping the switch live in Clear Channel New York City studios with Elvis Duran, Z100; DJ Clue, Power105; Helen Little, 106.7 Lite fm; and Cubby, 103.5 KTU—a moment that will be synchronized on-air to two of Keys’ tracks—her single from her new album “Girl on Fire,” followed by her smash hit “Empire State of Mind.” New Yorkers and those in the surrounding area with a view of ESB can tune into one of four Clear Channel radio stations—Z100, 103.5 KTU, Power105, and 106.7 Lite fm—as the stations simultaneously play accompanying music to the light show. The light show will be hosted for on-demand viewing at iHeartRadio.com, home to Clear Channel’s digital radio service, by 10 a.m., on Tuesday, November 27.
The state-of-the-art dynamic lighting system from PCK is unique to ESB and allows customized light capabilities from a palette of over 16 million colors in limitless combinations along with effects previously not possible such as ripples, cross-fades, sparkles, chasers, sweeps, strobes and bursts. In addition to greater control and management of the lighting, the new computerized system will deliver superior light and vibrancy levels in real-time, unlike the previous floodlights.
“The Empire State Building’s lights are the international icon of the New York City skyline. We use our tower lights to partner with select charities, organizations, and events around the world,” said Anthony E. Malkin, President of Malkin Holdings which supervises the Empire State Building. “Philips Color Kinetics’ new LED lights were installed over the summer and have been set at the color and intensity of the incandescent lights they replaced. As of tonight, our lights’ full range and intensity will be brought to life, forever changing the New York skyline. We wanted to celebrate with and thank New York City and our global audience with a specially choreographed, custom light show. I am so happy that real New Yorkers, Alicia Keys, Z100, 103.5 KTU, Power105, and 106.7 Lite fm are sharing in our gift of the light show tonight.”
“The Empire State Building has always been a symbol of what’s possible in New York, and all the dreams that can come true in this city that never sleeps,” said Alicia Keys. “I’m so excited to unveil the new tower lights that are going to illuminate the city below like never before—shining bright with inspiration. As a proud New Yorker, I’m so honored and humbled to be a little part of its history.”
To extend the gift to New York City, and celebrate the release of her fifth studio album, GIRL ON FIRE, Alicia Keys will also perform on Tuesday, November 27. Her special performance will be held at the iHeartRadio Theater presented by PC Richard and Son in Tribeca for the first responders and volunteers who have worked tirelessly to restore the affected area, as well as those individuals impacted by Hurricane Sandy. GIRL ON FIRE is available November 27, on RCA Records.

NEW YORK – November 8, 2012 – Clear Channel Media and Entertainment, the leading media company in America with a greater reach than any other radio or television outlet, today announced the launch of EVOLUTION, a new Electronic Dance Music (EDM) station on iHeartRadio, Clear Channel’s industry-leading digital radio platform. The station will celebrate the recent explosion of electronic music and will be hosted by Pete Tong, the iconic British DJ behind BBC Radio 1’s renowned Essential Mix radio show. Evolution will kick off November 12, with a five-day studio takeover by Tong as well as an intimate iHeartRadio Live performance by Grammy winning DJ/producer, Afrojack, in New York City on November 14.
The station takeover will feature special interviews with world-famous DJs such as Axwell of Swedish House Mafia, all-new guest mixes and non-stop music from Pete Tong’s hand-curated playlist. Beginning November 19, the station will air its full schedule of programming and will feature “All Gone Pete Tong,” a live, two-hour daily show that will include Pete’s Essential New Tune of the Week, as well as hit songs from the global Top 100 chart on Beatport.com, the world’s largest music store and community for DJs. The show will broadcast Monday through Friday from 7-9 p.m. EST.
Tong’s show will join an impressive lineup of radio shows hosted by a rotation of popular and up-and-coming DJs including: Diplo; Wolfgang Gartner; Morgan Page; Fatboy Slim; Yung Skeeter; Dim Mak; Manufactured Superstars; Roger Sanchez; Dillon Francis; Doorly; Eats Everything; Jaymo and Andy George; The 2 Bears; Tom Staar; and Hot Since 82. Evolution will also air exclusive content from Swedish House Mafia’s final tour in addition to their featured show with all-new mixes. Programing will also include special spin sessions, on-air interviews and guest-hosted radio shows with world-class, progressive DJs and EDM producers.
“I’m excited to be a part of Evolution,” said Tong. “Electronic Dance Music has seen a major rise in popularity in North America over the past few years so this is exactly the right time to provide a new and groundbreaking music service. I have spent my whole career seeking out and championing the hottest new electronic artists and I’m inspired by the opportunity that iHeartRadio has given me. Clear Channel is dedicated to giving a voice to a variety of music genres, and I’m sure Evolution will grow to become a major asset to electronic music. I look forward to working with iHeartRadio to provide a new platform for both the established and most exciting new artists and DJs.”
The dynamic station will be promoted across Clear Channel’s Contemporary Hit Radio, Rhythmic and Alternative stations, on iHeartRadio’s digital EDM stations Electric Sound Stage and Trancid, and in leading dance clubs and venues across the country on Pete Tong’s North American ‘All Gone’ Tour beginning November 23. Listeners will be the first to hear exclusive show content and will enjoy a robust variety of EDM, ranging from bass-heavy dubstep and moombahton, to house, techno and electro.
“We’re thrilled to kick off our newest EDM station with Pete Tong – the collaboration is a natural fit,” said Tom Poleman, President of National Programming Platforms for Clear Channel Media and Entertainment. “As the popularity of electronic music increases, the introduction of Evolution shows Clear Channel’s commitment to its listeners as well as to music variety and discovery. iHeartRadio has an unparalleled ability to connect with its audience through a variety of great music and top-billed live events. At this year’s iHeartRadio Music Festival, performances by EDM artists Swedish House Mafia, deadmau5 and Calvin Harris were highlights for many of our listeners and reaffirmed that Evolution will be a popular addition to our station lineup.”

Clear Channel Media & Entertainment, The Madison Square Garden Company And The Weinstein Company Will Present “12-12-12” (a Concert For Sandy Relief) A One Night Only Live Fundraising Concert To Benefit The Victims Of Hurricane Sandy
Madison Square Garden Concert On 12-12-12 Will Provide Desperately Needed Funds In The Tri-State Area
NEW YORK, NY, November 8, 2012 – It was announced today that Clear Channel Media and Entertainment, The Madison Square Garden Company and The Weinstein Company -- the same group that produced and sponsored the historic 9/11 benefit “The Concert for New York City” -- have come together once again to present “12-12-12” (A Concert For Sandy Relief). The special one night only live music event will help provide assistance to the millions of people throughout the tri-state area who have been affected by Hurricane Sandy. “12-12-12” (A Concert For Sandy Relief) will occur on December 12, 2012 at Madison Square Garden in New York. More details on the event and the artist line-up will be released in the coming days. All money raised will be administered directly to those who need it most, through the Robin Hood Relief Fund.
As the tri-state region fully realizes the true scope of Sandy's stunning and acute devastation on the coastal areas of Long Island, Queens, particularly Breezy Point and the Rockaways, Staten Island and New Jersey, the enormous task of rebuilding both the infrastructure and thousands of shattered lives becomes dauntingly clear. Robin Hood - New York City's largest poverty fighting organization - has re-established the Robin Hood Relief Fund, which it spearheaded following 9/11, to help those most affected by Hurricane Sandy.
The needs are enormous: Sandy has created a devastating short and long-term housing crisis, with tens of thousands of people, including many first-responders, in need of significant rebuilding assistance. Many victims of Sandy are undocumented, non-English speaking residents who are especially vulnerable during a crisis, particularly relating to navigating complicated insurance and legal requirements. Thousands of New York City schoolchildren have lost essential tools, such as books, computers and supplies, while also enduring displacement, with their schools either damaged or turned into emergency shelters. Food banks throughout the region are struggling to maintain their daily complement of services, as they dramatically increase their operations to feed the huge influx of people affected by the storm. Additionally, the psychological scars of Sandy will linger for years to come, with those affected in need of ongoing emotional counseling and support.
“12-12-12” will be produced by James Dolan, Executive Chairman of The Madison Square Garden Company; John Sykes, President of Clear Channel Entertainment Enterprises; and Harvey Weinstein, Co-Founder and Chairman of The Weinstein Company. In a joint statement Messrs. Dolan, Sykes and Weinstein said: “The Concert for New York City was a night filled with emotion, courage and tremendous hope when we came together as a city following the 9/11 attack. Once again, our city, as well as millions of our neighbors in the tri-state area, are in desperate need of our assistance as they recover from Hurricane Sandy and rebuild their lives. We have no doubt that the event we are planning will be filled with unforgettable music, entertainment and that uniquely American spirit of community, compassion and generosity.”
Tickets for the concert will be available at a variety of price levels, ranging from individual tickets to special VIP packages. Ticket information and more details regarding the concert will be released in the coming days.
All money raised from the concert will be administered through the Robin Hood Relief Fund, which was established by the Robin Hood Foundation, with funds to be distributed to hyper-local charitable organizations around the tri-state area; and other charities directly benefiting those affected by Hurricane Sandy.
