iHeart eadio now on Comcast

[Gunsmoke]

I meant radio....Was just channel surfing and found Comcast Philadelphia added iHeart radio, between 131 and 132, all the music channels, this is neat and its free, wonder if this will hurt Music Choice? Finally an alternative to Music Choice. Is this permanent.

Yes. I was able to dial up streams of terrestrial stations, but not custom streams like The Real Oldies Channel.

Probably because it's not owned by iHeart.

I wonder if the deal is because iHeart distributes the Comcast-owned NBC News Radio, that Comcast offers to do the same for iHeart. If so, that's huge.

Now its gone, must of been some ploy by Crapcast...

 

[gr8oldies]

The Real Oldies Channel (and other custom streams) are owned by iHeart.

Isn't that Scott Shannon's thing?

A while back I seem to recall some type of iHeart app would be available on Comcast, similar to the Netflix and YouTube apps. Perhaps it was testing or something along those lines.

Now that I think about it, did Scott Shannon call his thing “true oldies” (vs. “real oldies”)?

Aha! That's right.

No, Real Oldies is programmed by Dan Allen in Cincinnati. Dan is a longstanding iHeart employee.

We bought a VIZIO Smart TV Christmas 2016 and it has i-Heart Radio as a built-in app. (And Tune-In too), but I always forget about it. Plus it's available to DIRECTV customers as well on Channel 800. I should listen to that more as I had to uninstall the app from my phone because it ran out of memory.
