About
Largest audio media company in the US, operating the #1 digital audio platform by reach with dominant presence in both broadcast and digital audio advertising
iHeartRadio is the digital audio streaming and advertising division of iHeartMedia, the largest audio media company in the United States. The platform aggregates live broadcast radio stations, on-demand music streaming, and an extensive podcast network, giving it unparalleled reach across American audio audiences. With access to over 860 live radio stations and hundreds of thousands of podcasts, iHeartRadio commands a massive and highly engaged listener base that advertisers can tap into through a single unified platform. In the AdTech ecosystem, iHeartRadio operates as a premium audio advertising network, offering brands the ability to run targeted audio, display, and video ads across its owned-and-operated properties as well as through programmatic channels. The platform leverages first-party listener data, behavioral signals, and demographic targeting to deliver highly relevant ad experiences. Its SmartAudio product and other data-driven tools allow advertisers to reach specific audience segments at scale, making it a go-to partner for national and local advertisers alike. iHeartRadio competes directly with Spotify, Pandora (SiriusXM), and Amazon Music in the streaming space, while also rivaling podcast advertising networks like Spotify Audience Network and Acast. Its key differentiator is the combination of broadcast radio reach with digital targeting precision, giving it a unique cross-platform audio footprint. iHeartMedia's scale — including its live events, social media presence, and on-air talent — further amplifies the advertising value proposition for brand partners.
