Clear Channel, Cumulus Partnership Aims Crosshairs at Pandora, Groupon

Will cross-publish content from iHeartRadio, SweetJack

Clear Channel's three-year-old digital streaming service, iHeartRadio, will now stream content from 570 terrestrial radio stations owned by competitor Cumulus Media, the companies announced today.

iHeartRadio launched several years ago as a digital platform for Clear Channel’s 850 stations in 150 markets; in September the service relaunched with more personalization features that mimic many of those in Pandora. iHeartRadio now has 65 million digital listening hours a month, according to the company’s announcement. Cumulus, the country's second largest radio company, does not currently make its content available digitally.
