3-14-13

Clear Channel says iHeartRadio has gone over the 30 million user mark. And, since iHeartRadio listeners are not required to create an account to stream radio stations, the number of users is probably higher. The company says iHeartRadio has been downloaded 175 million times and has more than 60 million monthly uniques. iHeartRadio offers more than 1,500 radio stations plus listener created stations.

Clear Channel President of Digital Brian Lakamp says, "iHeartRadio sets the standard for how radio continues to fit into people's everyday lives. This latest milestone is another clear indication how our full-featured iHeartRadio experience resonates with tens of millions of people ­ with more coming every day. Being able to draw on Clear Channel's unparalleled range of resources allows us to continually innovate and improve on the user experience, while giving listeners access to both live radio and custom stations.  When you combine this with the strong promotional power of Clear Channel's broadcast properties across the nation, iHeartRadio is well-positioned to continue or even surpass our current adoption rate."

Pandora Up To 100 Million Registered Users

July 12, 2011

Tuesday during its first investor conference call, Pandora announced it has 100 million registered users and 36 million monthly active users. "More than 100 million people have registered to listen to Pandora's free personalized radio service across hundreds of consumer electronic devices including computers, smart phones, TVs, set-top boxes, alarm clocks, tablets and car dashboards. On a monthly basis, 36 million listeners access Pandora across these multiple platforms as Pandora continues to increase its share of the radio listening market."

During the Company's first Analyst Day, Pandora's CEO President Joe Kennedy said "Pandora is redefining radio, where 80 percent of all music listening occurs. Pandora ended 2010 with 2.3 percent market share of all radio listening in the United States. Six months later, Pandora has increased its market share to 3.6 percent of all radio listening in the United States."

Clear Channel is about two months away from becoming a direct competitor with Pandora, offering listeners a chance to create their own music playlists. A space Pandora has been the leader in for quite some time now. The event begins at at 8:00 A.M. Pacific Time. After faltering a bit immediately after going public, Pandora's stock has been on a steady climb since a low of $13.26 back in mid June.

The ability to create your own playlist is a far cry from Pandora's Music Genome algorithm. CC's iHeart will most likely open them up to content fees from the major labels exactly the same as Pandora's--gives Pandora a huge opportunity to sue for rate parity vs terrestrial radio.
