Every holiday season, iHeartMedia converts music radio stations
in its key markets to all holiday music through Christmas Day. 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. 1 holiday
music listening destination.
Listeners can discover a holiday station for every mood and
celebration across more than 250 platforms and 2,000 devices with
the iHeartRadio. Original stations like “iHeart Christmas,” playing
all the holiday favorites; “North Pole Radio,” hosted by Santa
Claus himself; “iHeart Christmas Classics,” the place to hear all
the timeless holiday classics; or holiday channels playing all
kinds of music, including iHeartCountry Christmas, iHeart Christmas
Jazz, iHeart Christmas Rock, iHeart Christmas R&B, and more. To
find all iHeartRadio’s extensive holiday offerings, listeners can

“Listeners look forward to that special day when we convert so
many of our stations to Christmas music because it means that the
holiday season has really started,” said Tom Poleman, Chief
Programming Officer for iHeartMedia. “To celebrate we are bringing
