Clear Channel Adds iHeartRadio App

HEART TRANSPLANT: Clear Channel Radio will make public an app interface and affiliate program for its iHeartRadio inititiative that will enable third parties and developers to integrate its content and services into their own products, web pages and applications. Using the Developer Program, third-party developers will have the opportunity to create their own innovative versions of the programming on their platforms, including access to its live broadcast, digital-only and custom stations as well as social media integration. Added Clear Channel Digital President Brian Lakamp: "Opening our API will unlock exciting opportunities to enrich the unique, combined live and custom radio experience that only iHeartRadio provides. This move also builds on our commitment to be everywhere our listeners expect us to be, with the best products and services." Which makes it almost as efficient as carrying around a boom box. (1/10a)
