Paid too much for the stations. Tough sledding.

iHeart Radio on Life Support
- Thread starter Bryce7
- Start date
I like TuneIn, but it doesn't carry KXNO. For those of us outside of the Midwest, it's nice to have IHeartRadio so we can get KXNO and it's questionably-talented on air personalities
Correct me if I am wrong but that is an apples to oranges comparison. TuneIn is an app company that has agreements to stream the content. iHeartRadio actually owns the stations.
Their app is terrible. The quick access to the player does not want to go away in android. And why I have to go to another app to get a podcast?
Im old but isn't iheartradio a top 40 radio station? I only think of ryan seacrest and teenagers when I hear the name iheartradio.
The iheartradio awards show will be sorely missed by really bad corporate synthetic music peddlers.
IHeart is a spawn of Clear Channel.
Clear Channel is a conglomeration and market saturation advertising vehicle. The money behind Clear Channel picked and $$$$ for Bush43. The FCC began to allow "local" consolidation of airwave ownership after the election of Bush43.
Local airwave monopolies have established total homogenization of radio nationwide. Rush L is everywhere, the same playlist of the pop, classic rock and country in any market is the same. Clear Channel controlls the message. The uniformed listened and, voila, welcome to USA 2017.
IHeart can't compete in the real world of internet competition. Clear Channel thrives in the politician paid-for world of government favoritism, where no local competition, or messaging, exists.
Eff all I Heart and Clear Channel.

The absolutely idiotic corporate name is most definitely a part of their struggles and a self inflicted wound. Alienates the average listener and fails at sounding cool to young people which I'm sure was the misguided plan.
Commercials. After having Sirius and Slacker I can't stand commercial radio.

I have downloaded and deleted IHeart Radio 5-6 times. Always something I'm interested in hearing about but it's such a trash business that I end up deleting it.
I only use iHeartRadio to listen to kxno (Murph/Andy and the Fanatics) at work. If I want to listen to music Pandora or Spotify are much better
We've taken care of everything
The words you read, the songs you sing
The pictures that give pleasure to your eyes
It's one for all, all for one
We work together, common sons
Never need to wonder how or why
