- iHeartMedia, Inc. functions as a prominent global media and entertainment enterprise. Its operational scope is organized into three distinct divisions: the Multiplatform Group, the Digital Audio Group, and the Audio & Media Services Group. The Multiplatform Group oversees broadcast radio properties, including over 850 local AM and FM radio stations situated in 160 markets across the United States. This segment also manages national network programming, such as Premiere Networks, which delivers approximately 120 syndicated radio programs to thousands of affiliated stations. Additionally, it provides essential real-time traffic and incident reporting, along with comprehensive weather, sports, and news updates via its extensive radio network and various digital and mobile collaborations. This group also orchestrates a variety of live and virtual events and manages sponsorship opportunities. The Digital Audio Group focuses on the company’s digital offerings, encompassing its leading podcasting business, dedicated digital platforms, newsletters, and associated digital services. It is responsible for the iHeartRadio application, a versatile mobile and web-based service providing access to live broadcast stations, exclusive digital-only channels, personalized artist stations, and a vast library of podcasts. The Audio & Media Services Group is engaged in media representation activities through entities like Katz Media Group. Furthermore, this division supplies advanced broadcast software solutions, both cloud-based and on-premises, which include tools for radio and television automation, music scheduling, newsroom management, advertising sales, and disaster recovery. It also deploys real-time audio recognition technology to serve approximately 10,000 radio and television broadcasters, cable channels, record labels, advertisers, and agencies, while offering media streaming and analytical research services. The company primarily generates revenue through advertising across its diverse platforms, complemented by digital streaming subscriptions and live event engagements. In recent periods, iHeartMedia has pursued strategic partnerships, including collaborations with TikTok to launch a creator podcast network and integrate creators into various audio touchpoints in November 2025, and with Amazon Ads for programmatic audio offerings in early 2025. The company, which was previously known as CC Media Holdings, Inc., officially rebranded to iHeartMedia, Inc. in September 2014 to better reflect its expansive digital audio focus. iHeartMedia, Inc. maintains its corporate headquarters in San Antonio, Texas.
