The worst possible new name
lol
I know a few people who listen to I heart radio on their cellular phones.
Technology is changing the radio business. This is a reflection of that.
This is a pretty smart move. Clear Channel means nothing to their current audience and they were smart enough to snag the “iHeart” brand and have built a solid listenership on it. I hate to see broadcast radio becoming obsolete but that’s what is happening and this is the future.
I’m listening to Rush on my phone via I heart.
They are the Comcast of the radio world.
They have ruined terrestrial radio.
I’m glad they are ditching the “clear channel” name. The term “clear channel” has a distinct meaning outside of the company that trademarked it. Ham guys/gals might be familiar with this. I do not know if it is still true, but for many years, there were a few stations on the air in America that were essentially the only station on their channel across the entire nation. I believe WLS in Chicago was one. I used to be able to pick them up on a night with good atmospherics all the way in Houston.
