iHeartRadio Launches On Demand Radio Services iHeartRadio Plus & iHeartRadio All Access

iHeartRadio just got even better. Today (Dec. 1), iHeartMedia announced the beta availability of iHeartRadio Plus and iHeartRadio All Access powered by Napster. Now you can listen to your favorite songs and albums on demand! This is the first service that uses on demand functionality to make radio truly interactive, as compared to all current players which simply add on demand functionality to the music collection experience.

What does this mean? It means you can now listen to all of your favorite radio stations, custom artist stations, AND listen to your favorite songs and albums on demand -- all in ONE APP. 

What you need to know:

iHeartRadio Plus, $4.99 a month, completely transforms live radio listening with the addition of:

• Replay: Giving subscribers the ability to instantly replay songs from the radio and then return to the live radio station in progress;
• Live and custom Artist Radio stations: now equipped with a save button, allowing subscribers to instantly save songs from the radio directly to their My Music playlist for playback any time;
• Search: Search and play any song from a library of millions of tracks;
• Unlimited skips: Subscribers listening to custom Artist Radio stations will no longer have a limit on the number of songs they can skip.

iHeartRadio All Access powered by Napster, at $9.99 a month, combines the interactive radio functionally of iHeartRadio Plus with a complete music collection and library that is linked seamlessly to the radio listening experience.  Given that 70 percent of consumers -- which includes users of on demand music services -- have cited radio as their primary source of music discovery, there is finally a service that allows them the convenience and accessibility of merely pushing a button to add a song immediately to their music collection at the same time they hear it on the radio -- something no other music collection service can offer.  This new offering is the best of all worlds, combined in one service with the ability to:

• Build subscribers’ personal music libraries: Completely create, control and curate playlists from a library of millions of tracks;
• Give subscribers total flexibility to listen to their music the way they want, when they want: With no playback cap and the ability to reorder, delete and sequence their playlist experience as well as manage unlimited playlists;
• Access offline listening: Subscribers can now enjoy offline listening and take their music and playlists with them everywhere where they go, even when they don’t have a data connection.

Aside from the two new subscription on-demand services, iHeartRadio will remain free. Both are available now in beta on iOS and Android devices, and the two new services will be fully available on mobile and desktop in January 2017.

With more than 850 radio stations in 150 markets that reach over a quarter of a billion monthly listeners across the U.S, iHeartMedia has the largest national reach of any radio or television outlet in America. In addition, 84 percent of iHeartRadio users do not currently subscribe to an on demand service – and now, for the first time, may be interested in subscribing to a service that provides them with the best of live radio combined with easy-to-use on demand functionality that makes radio programming truly interactive - and that they can connect directly to their music collection, something no other service or company has the assets to offer.
