Clear Channel Radio has expanded its multi-year strategic partnership with Microsoft to integrate iHeartRadio into Microsoft?s Xbox 360, the number one selling entertainment console in the United States. iHeartRadio will be the only digital radio service on Xbox LIVE. Beginning this winter, iHeartRadio will be available for free to Xbox LIVE Gold members.
?Clear Channel is committed to innovation and deep social integration. We want to continually deliver new experiences that consumers have never seen before ? like the recent launch of the New iHeartRadio, which combines broadcast and digital-only stations and user-created stations in one service for the first time,? said John Hogan, CEO of Clear Channel Radio. ?The New iHeartRadio?s integration with the Xbox 360 enables Kinect users to control digital radio in their living room using just their voice and body. There is nothing else like it on the market and it?s another example of how we are committed to being wherever our listeners are with the programming and services they want and expect.?
