Comcast and iHeartMedia have announced a partnership that will make iHeartRadio available on Xfinity X1, giving listeners access to more than 1,000 radio stations from across the country – directly on their TV – with custom artist radio stations, playlists, and podcasts. With the rollout already started to capable X1 set-top boxes, customers of both services will be able to use their voice remote to launch iHeartRadio or browse and select stations integrated throughout related sections of Xfinity On Demand.
“We are excited to team up with Comcast to bring iHeartMedia’s massive catalog of live radio stations to the highly innovative Xfinity X1 platform,” said Michele Laven, President of Strategic Partnerships Group for iHeartMedia. “We will continue to push boundaries and explore new opportunities for consumers to interact with the iHeartRadio brand. Our goal is to ensure that the music and trusted personalities our listeners love are seamlessly available whenever and wherever they are, across the products and services they use most. The new iHeartRadio X1 integration is a perfect addition to our platform offerings that we know listeners will love.”
