• Thumbplay’s technology allows us to quickly and substantially add new features and services to iHeartRadio, including enabling users to create their own personalized radio stations and the capability to deploy a variety of subscription services.
• iHeartRadio is Clear Channel’s internet radio platform of 750 digital radio stations from 150 cities – all available via the free, iHeartRadio app. 24 million iHeartRadio apps have been downloaded.
