iHeartMedia and Turner announced today that the popular, fan-fueled iHeartRadio Music Awards will return on Sunday, March 5, 2017 to the historic, fabulous Forum in Los Angeles. The fourth year of the event will again be televised live on TBS, TNT and truTV at 8 PM ET/5 PM PT and simulcast on iHeartMedia stations nationwide, as well as on iHeartRadio, the all-in-one digital music and live streaming radio service.

Launched in 2014, the iHeartRadio Music Awards is a star-studded event featuring live performances from artists with the biggest songs throughout the year, storytelling, surprise guests and first-time duets and collaborations. Over the past three years, the lineup has included live performances and appearances by megastars such as Rihanna, Taylor Swift, Sam Smith, Lady Gaga, Madonna, Meghan Trainor, Katy Perry, Snoop Dogg, Nick Jonas, Blake Shelton, Kendrick Lamar, Pharrell, Pitbull, Shakira, Jason Derulo, Justin Bieber, ZAYN, Demi Lovato, Chris Brown, Fetty Wap, and many others.

“This is the one awards show that honors not only the biggest music artists of the year, but also the millions of fans that got them to the top,” said John Sykes, President of iHeartMedia Entertainment Enterprises. “This is a night where viewers can watch their favorite artists and truly connect, live across three Turner channels."

"The iHeartRadio Music Awards have really upped the ante when it comes to fan engagement, making it especially valuable among Turner's slate of live event programming," said Michael Bloom, Senior Vice President of Unscripted Series and Specials for TNT and TBS. "We look forward to working with iHeartMedia in making the whole initiative even more engaging and unforgettable this year."
