“The anticipation and excitement surrounding our stations’ flip to Christmas music is a staple of the holiday season for our listeners across the country, and we are thrilled to celebrate this festive occasion with our first ‘iHeartRadio Holiday Special,’” says Tom Poleman, Chief Programming Officer for iHeartMedia. This season, iHeartMedia’s annual station flip to Christmas music kicked off late last week with more than 80 stations across the country broadcasting the season’s festive music from today’s biggest artists including Carrie Underwood, Josh Groban, Mariah Carey, Michael Bublé, Mannheim Steamroller as well as holiday classics from Bing Crosby, Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra and more around-the-clock. Each year, these stations continue to have the largest audiences of all radio stations in each market – often doubling the audience size from non-holiday programming – making iHeartMedia the No. The event will also be available to watch in VR on the Venues app for Oculus Quest.Įvery holiday season, iHeartMedia converts music radio stations in its key markets to all Christmas music through Christmas Day.

This 30-minute special event will feature Carrie Underwood, who released her first-ever Christmas album, My Gift, this year, and Josh Groban performing some of the most popular holiday classics, and will broadcast across iHeartMedia’s AC, HOT AC and Classic Hits stations nationwide and on the iHeartRadio app, and video stream iHeartRadio’s YouTube and Facebook pages on November 25th at 7 pm local time. To celebrate its annual switch to festive music of the Christmas season across its stations nationwide, iHeartMedia has announced the new iHeartRadio Holiday Special, a virtual concert hosted by Mario Lopez.
