iHeartRadio Introduces Local "Add-Ins"


iHeartRadio, Clear Channel's all-in-one digital radio service, today announced Add-Ins, a new feature of its Custom Stations, which will offer users more convenience and control over their personalized digital listening experience.

Beginning today, the new "Add-Ins" feature will enable iHeartRadio listeners to insert short local news, weather and traffic updates into their Custom Stations when listening online.

iHeartRadio, which provides instant access to more than 1,500 of the nation's most popular live broadcast and digital-only radio stations from across the country, plus Custom Stations inspired by favorite artists and songs, will now offer a geo-targeted news and information experience. "

Add-Ins" brings another level of personalization to listeners' Custom Stations by allowing users to add local news, traffic and/or weather via regular updates into the listening experience.

iHeartRadio's ability to utilize Clear Channel's broadcast resources allows users to receive localized information based on their current location or choose to receive updates from hundreds of markets across the country while listening to the music they love. Once enabled in Account Settings, "Add-Ins" will automatically pinpoint the listener's location -- or users can set an alternate location by entering a zip code under the manual "Add-Ins" settings.

Add-Ins is now available on iHeartRadio.com, with iPhone, Android and other platforms coming soon.
