Listen to streaming music radio stations and podcasts with access to thousands of live options and user-created custom stations based on artists, tracks, or genres.
iHeart is an internet radio platform and media player that provides free access to thousands of live AM/FM radio stations, digital music radio stations, podcasts, and custom artist stations. It was created in 2008 by Clear Channel Communications as Clear Channel Radio, later rebranded as iHeartRadio in 2011 after the company changed its name to iHeartMedia.
One of the key features of iHeart is the ability for users to create custom stations based on favorite songs, artists, or genres. The platform uses advanced algorithms to generate relevant songs for each custom station. Users can give songs a thumbs up or thumbs down to further fine tune the recommendations from iHeart's catalog of over 30 million tracks.
In addition to custom stations, iHeart provides streaming access to live broadcasts from over 1,500 AM and FM radio stations throughout the U.S. It has an extensive library of podcasts and also features exclusive live performances and interviews in its iHeart concert series. The service is available through web players on PC and Mac as well as native apps for all major mobile devices and smart TV platforms.
iHeart is supported by advertisements and available at no subscription cost for listeners. The platform evolves through data collected around listener preferences and habits. With over 130 million registered users, it ranks as the #1 commercial radio platform in the U.S. iHeart combines the familiarity and personality of live radio with the flexibility and customization that comes from streaming and on-demand technology.
