The music therapy program is an integral part of City of Hope’s Department of Supportive Care Medicine, a national leader in integrated support services designed to facilitate patients’ journey toward recovery and wholeness.

We are very excited to harness that passion and our listeners’ connection to their favorite local radio stations to support the work of our friends at City of Hope, one of the world’s leading cancer research and treatment centers,” said Clay Hunnicutt, director of Community Engagement, Clear Channel Radio.

He added, “‘Play For Life’ will allow fans to bid on once-in-a-lifetime experiences with their favorite stars, while supporting a cause that touches all of us – improving the lives of cancer patients through the power of music.”

“As a national leader in cancer research and patient care, City of Hope is committed to healing the whole patient through emotional, spiritual and physical well-being, and music therapy plays a vital role in this process,” said Michael A. Friedman, M.D., president and chief executive officer and director, Comprehensive Cancer Center, City of Hope. “Clear Channel Radio is the ideal partner to help us raise awareness of City of Hope’s mission and work among its national audience of music fans.”

“Numerous studies have shown the positive impact of music therapy on patients with cancer and other life-threatening diseases. We are delighted to be the beneficiary of the ‘Play For Life’ campaign and to strengthen our music therapy program for the benefit of patients and their families,” said Matt Loscalzo, administrative director of the Sheri & Les Biller Patient and Family Resource Center, City of Hope.

San Antonio, TX and Los Angeles, CA– April 21, 2011 – Clear Channel Communications, the leading media company in America with more reach in the U.S. than any radio or television outlet, and Relativity Media, a next-generation studio that focuses on creating, financing and distributing entertainment content and intellectual property across multiple platforms, announced they have entered into an unprecedented multi-media agreement to promote a number of major film releases over the next 12 months.

KIIS-FM radio show “On-Air with Ryan Seacrest” host Ryan Seacrest, in partnership with Clear Channel Radio, helped orchestrate this innovative relationship with Relativity Media, which is designed to drive box office sales and promote upcoming entertainment properties by tapping into Clear Channel’s monthly reach of 237 million in a creative and compelling manner.

The companies officially kicked off their collaboration with the promotion of the film Limitless, starring Bradley Cooper, Abbie Cornish and Robert De Niro, which finished #1 at the box office during its opening weekend with a 25% lead over that weekend’s #2 film and 43% over the other weekend openers. “For Limitless, we feel the Clear Channel promotion significantly impacted our awareness and helped drive our successful opening weekend,” said Ryan Kavanaugh, CEO of Relativity Media.

 

 

With a national footprint across 150 cities and appealing performance against the coveted 18-34 movie-going audience, Ryan Seacrest also serves as a significant cornerstone to the deal, offering unique multi-media platforms – including “On-Air with Ryan Seacrest,” “AT40” and ryanseacrest.com -- which will distribute compelling content featuring A-list Hollywood actors and actresses.

 

Kavanaugh added, “As the consumer looks more and more to digital and interactive content, Clear Channel’s cross-platform deal is a critical step in providing Relativity a direct link to its movie-going audience. Ryan Seacrest really envisioned this integrated partnership, and brought together all of the Clear Channel assets, people, and venues. Without his leadership, this deal would have never happened.”

“Both Kavanaugh and Seacrest understood immediately the impact of leveraging Clear Channel Radio’s portfolio of media assets and their vision was instrumental in developing this partnership,” said Bob Pittman, Chairman of Media and Entertainment Platforms for Clear Channel Radio. “We look forward to developing even more creative campaigns going forward that will drive attendance for Relativity releases.”

 

“Relativity Media is an ideal partner because of its interesting and compelling content offerings. I think we’ve only scratched the surface on the possibilities of blending between the studios and our digital and terrestrial platforms,” said Ryan Seacrest.

LOS ANGELES, February 22, 2011 – Premiere Radio Networks is proud to announce that 2011 marks the 15-year anniversary of The Jim Rome Show in national syndication. Hosted by one of the most respected voices in the world of sports broadcasting, the program airs live Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. - noon PT on 230 radio stations, an all-time affiliate high for the program, and reaches more than two million listeners each week. In his 15th year of syndication, Rome remains committed to his affiliate base as the only national sports radio talk personality broadcasting his program exclusively on the AM and FM dial. As part of the year-long celebration, fans of The Jungle will be treated to special guest appearances, events and promotions. More details will be announced in the near future.

 

Rome kicked off the anniversary with a live remote from Super Bowl XLV. Broadcasting from Radio Row at the Sheraton Downtown Dallas, he welcomed famous friends from the world of sports, including four-time Super Bowl winner and Football Hall of Famer Joe Montana, Football Hall of Fame quarterback and Denver Broncos EVP of Football Operations John Elway, New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez, Dallas Cowboys Pro Bowl wide receiver Miles Austin, Super Bowl MVP and New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning and Super Bowl MVP Phil Simms. Photos from the week-long remote are available at www.JimRome.com.

Rome stated, “It’s been an unbelievable 15 years, and I’m extremely proud of my association with Premiere and what we’ve been able to accomplish together.”

“Jim is a one-of-a-kind sports broadcaster and we’re honored to celebrate this special anniversary with him,” stated Julie Talbott, Premiere Radio Networks president, content and affiliate relations. “We’re extremely proud of the continued success of The Jim Rome Show, and look forward to reaching many more milestones together.”

As host of one of the nation’s premiere sports radio talk shows, Rome is known for his aggressive, informed, rapid-fire dialogue. A leading opinion-maker in sports entertainment, he has also established himself as the top choice for athletes and fans when it’s time to know what’s happening beyond the scoreboard. Nationally syndicated by Premiere Radio Networks, The Jim Rome Show boasts legions of fans known as the clones who live and breathe for Rome’s “take” on the day’s sports issues. It’s his departure from conventional sports commentary that has resulted in Rome’s unique connection with his loyal listeners – a relationship that has provided many long-term, national sponsors such as AutoZone, Chevrolet Silverado, LegalZoom, 5-Hour ENERGY and Braun Shavers, with direct access to this coveted male demographic.

Rome began his radio career at KTMS, Santa Barbara as the “$5 dollar-an-hour” traffic reporter and covered UC Santa Barbara’s sports. He later left KTMS for San Diego’s all-sports station, XTRA Sports 690. It was during a temporary stint on a late-night show for the station that Rome debuted his “smack” (Jungle Glossary term meaning sports talk in a gloating, uninhibited or unbridled manner). The style yielded high ratings, and by acclimation of his listeners, The Jungle was born. In 1996, Premiere Radio Networks acquired exclusive syndication rights to the program, which continues to thrive and grow nationwide.

Rome currently hosts Jim Rome Is Burning, a daily, sports talk television show airing at 4:30 p.m. EST on ESPN. The program, which celebrated its 1,000th episode last fall, originates from Los Angeles and features opinion, Rome’s “rants,” debate and guest appearances by some of the biggest name in sports. Rome previously hosted the popular program The Last Word with Jim Rome, which broadcast nightly on Fox Sports Net for five years, and had a two-year stint hosting ESPN2’s Talk2, a nightly one-hour interview show.

Rome has made cameo appearances alongside Al Pacino and Matthew McConaughey in Two For The Money, Adam Sandler in The Longest Yard and opposite Michael Jordan in Space Jam; appeared in a Blink 182 music video; appeared on HBO’s “Arliss;” and released a CD, Welcome to the Jungle, which features memorable sound bites from frequent callers and music regularly used on the radio show.

Rome graduated from the University of California, Santa Barbara in 1987, with a degree in Communications. He currently resides in Los Angeles with his wife, Janet and their two children. For more information, please visit www.JimRome.com.
