Previously announced participants in “Commencement: Speeches for the Class of 2020” include two-time Olympic gold medalist and FIFA World Cup champion Abby Wambach; cosmetics icon Bobbi Brown; comedian and TV host Chelsea Handler; restaurateur and TV personality David Chang; Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon; NFL football legend Eli Manning; journalist and NPR correspondent Guy Raz; top recording artist Halsey; former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton; top recording artist John Legend; award-winning journalist Katie Couric; Grammy-nominated pop star Kesha; DJ Khaled; R&B singer and songwriter Khalid; business leader and Co-CEO of Ariel Investments Mellody Hobson; Coach Mike Krzyzewski; Dr. Oz; international recording artist and business entrepreneur Pitbull; actor Sienna Miller; General Stan McChrystal; MSNBC anchor Stephanie Ruhle; CEO of Epic Records Sylvia Rhone and top country artist Tim McGraw to help celebrate and inspire high school and college graduates of 2020 as they look to the future.

We want to thank all our amazing commencement speakers and partners, including Doritos, State Farm and T-Mobile who are helping ensure the Class of 2020 get the commencement advice they deserve in this unusual graduation year. One of the coolest things about this is how each of our partners is jumping in to help graduates in their own way: Thank you to Doritos for providing a platform to high school students missing out on the opportunity to give valedictorian speeches a chance to be included into this podcast through their Valedictorian program and awarding each selected student $50k in tuition assistance.

Thank you to T-Mobile for introducing an unprecedented way of celebrating graduates everywhere with a #TossYourCap Challenge on TikTok – stay tuned for more details from the Un-carrier.

While graduates and families are celebrating this important life milestone, the U.S. Census Bureau is partnering with iHeartMedia for “Commencement: Speeches for the Class of 2020” to remind everyone that responding to the census helps shape your future and that of your community. “Census results inform funding for critical public services including education programs,” explained Michael C. Cook, Sr, Chief of the Public Information Office at the U. S Census Bureau. “Census results are also used by businesses and employers making decisions about where to invest for growth.”

The census counts where everyone in the United States was living on April 1, 2020. It’s easier than ever to respond online, by phone, or by mail. Listeners are encouraged to visit 2020census.gov to learn more about how and where to be counted.

The podcast will publish the speeches on May 15, ahead of “National Graduation Day” (May 17). The speeches will be produced specifically for the podcast, through the iHeartPodcast Network, and are dedicated to all the graduating classes of 2020 who will miss their commencement celebrations due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

iHeartRadio Digital Expands Team into Nashville, Creating New Jobs and Further Accelerating Product Growth and Innovation in Emerging Tech Hub

New York, New York – December 2, 2019 – iHeartMedia, the leading audio company in the U.S., today announced that it has selected Nashville as the location for iHeartRadio’s second digital headquarters, further expanding its current New York-based digital team; creating new jobs; and building on iHeartRadio’s continued growth and innovation as the leading audio platform for consumers across the country.

Nashville -- best known as one of the nation’s leading music scenes – also continues to see rapid growth in the technology space, with a wide range of companies – from small tech startups to major Fortune 500 companies – building offices and hubs in the Music City.  Nashville’s music culture, eccentric vibe and lower cost of living continues to attract young and inspiring millennials, students and startups.  Nashville also is home to 20 universities and colleges with a number of highly regarded technology programs, fostering some of the strongest tech talent in the country today. 

“As we continue to invest in our ad tech, products, research, sales and content, and further build on the success of our digital service, this is the right time to expand our digital team -- and what better location than Nashville, given that music is at the heart of our business,” said Darren Davis, President of iHeartRadio.  ”Nashville’s technology ecosystem is thriving, and combined with the city’s rich history in music, entrepreneurial spirit and diverse culture, we believe this is the perfect location for us to extend our digital leadership and recruit highly-skilled and passionate candidates for our second iHeartRadio Digital headquarters.”

“We can think of no better place than Nashville for iHeartRadio to establish its second digital headquarters,” said Bob Rolfe, Commissioner of the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development. “For generations, music has been ingrained in Tennessee’s culture, economy and way of life. iHeartRadio’s new operation is the perfect fit for Tennessee’s growing tech scene, and we’re proud to welcome one of the world’s leading entertainment companies to the Volunteer State.”

Since its official launch as an all-in-one digital service in 2011, iHeartRadio has grown to become the number one streaming broadcast radio platform -- with six times the digital listening of the next largest commercial broadcast radio company. With iHeartRadio, listeners can stream thousands of live broadcast radio stations, hundreds of thousands of podcasts, music playlists, custom Artist Radio stations and on demand, everywhere, on every device.  The digital app now has more than 135 million registered users and is available on over 250 platforms and over 2,000 different connected devices — including smart speakers, digital auto dashes, tablets, wearables, smartphones, virtual assistants, televisions and gaming consoles. The iHeartRadio service and brand has also expanded internationally with licensed partners in Mexico, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

More details about the new office, which will be located in the heart of Nashville, will be announced soon.  Opening its doors in Q1 2020, the new location will be home to a new hub for the iHeartRadio digital product team, which will be making additional technology advances in conjunction with its teams in New York, San Antonio and Silicon Valley.

“At iHeart we operate as talent first in the same spirit of entrepreneurship found in successful startups,” said Bob Pittman, Chairman and CEO of iHeartMedia, Inc. “We are excited to expand our NYC digital team into Nashville and tap into this city’s diverse pool of high tech and creative, ambitious talent. As the leading audio company in America, this new facility will allow us to continue to deliver the best content, cultivate even more innovation and drive further listener growth and revenue opportunities to our advertisers.”

“We are excited about iHeartRadio's expansion in the Nashville region. Music continues to be an integral part of our culture, community and economy. IHeartRadio's decision to focus their North American growth in Nashville is a testament to our vibrant music scene, our talented workforce and robust business climate.” said Ralph Schulz, President and CEO of the Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce.

iHeartMedia plans to begin hiring immediately in Nashville for positions in engineering, product development, data science and more.  All applicants can visit https://jobs.iheart.com/. For all other iHeartMedia positions, applicants can visit www.iHeartMediaCareers.com
