I just heard an announcement that the entire iHeart Radio Music Festival will be broadcast live on every single station owned by Clear Channel. I don't know if I'm a good judge, but I think it should be only streamed on stations with the Top 40/CHR format, since I think that's what this festival mostly is.

iHeart Radio Music Festival to stream on ALL Clear Channel stations
- Thread starter ssetta
- Start date
It will NOT be on every CC radio station....the only NYC station broadcasting it is Z100.
It'll also be streamed over Facebook.com/IHeartRadio; no doubt, all Clear Channel stations are going to seize the opportunity to PROMOTE the fact that you can watch it through Facebook.com/IHeartRadio. I heard a plug this morning on Q104, as a matter of fact, from Doc Reno - then again, that means he was doing the same plug on 200 other stations at the same time, so maybe that's a bad example... :
The info you're looking for is contained in the last three paragraphs of the Clear Channel press release dated 9/19/2011 linked below:

The mistake that the original poster made was what they "thought" they heard versus what was "actually" said.
The audio of the concert/festival will be streamed on all Clear Channel station websites and over-the-air on Clear Channel radio stations in over 150 markets - no specific station lineup is given, but I would assume that at least one station in each of those markets would broadcast the event. Likely it would be a CHR/Top 40, Rhythmic CHR, Hot/Modern Adult Contemporary, Adult Contemporary or R+B/Hip-Hop outlet that would carry the show. (Such as Z100 New York as posted earlier.)

WPKF's "Kiss-FM" is Poughkeepsie is running the "iHeartRadio Music Festival", but I was planning to record the entire 2-day event earlier tonight, because it gets a lot of static, that means that I cannot do airchecks of this event. Anyone who has airchecks of the 2-day "iHeartRadio Music Festival", please let me know. Thanks!
Am I the only one that wants to yell at the radio every time they start bragging about being the largest radio event? Clearly 1985 is lost on the average top 40 listener, but this thing doesn't hold a candle to the global Live Aid effort.

Funny, I was gonna mention Live Aid! lol!
I heard some of the show. Some good performances, bogged down by ridiculous, obnoxious hype. It was two days of an extended infomercial for a phone app (which I probably won't update because the file size it just too big).
Let's face it, after today, the only people who will even remember it are people who work for Clear Channel and perhaps the people who attended. Nobody else will really be talking about it.

Not a lot of Android phones have 16GB internal (the high-end ones do). Many of them rely on SD card storage. And for an Android app, 9-12MB is pretty big. That's about the size of Google Maps. By comparison, Pandora and Slacker are about 2-3MB.
Sorry my phone isn't as fancy as yours (I have an LG Optimus). And yes, I do consider it a real phone, so there.

You got it. I couldn't be bothered dignifying the original remark. Not only was there Live Aid, but even more recently Live 8 was on over 2000 radio networks worldwide too. I'm sure there are a number of things throughout the last 100 years (speeches etc) that had a larger audience than some concert at 11pm (East coast) over a weekend. Leave it to Clear Channel to blow smoke at people.
