"What we're doing with mstyleradio is both innovative and exciting, and it's a great extension of iHeartRadio's partnership with Macy's," said Tom Poleman, President of National Programming Platforms for Clear Channel Media and Entertainment. "The blend of Clear Channel's music programming expertise and our on-air personalities talking about music, pop culture and fashion make this station the perfect marriage of the Macy's and iHeartRadio brands."

At launch, the station will feature live Clear Channel DJ's seven days a week, playing established artists, icons and up-and-coming talent. Three DJ's will rotate shifts to provide 15 hours of live coverage per day.

Alex, the station's fashion muse, a 23-year old currently based at Clear Channel Austin, has a passion for fashion and sports. Valentine, hailing from Miami's Y100, will spin a mix of the latest in pop culture and gossip, as well as the nation's top hits. Always plugged in to social media from Twitter and Facebook to Instagram, Valentine is the ultimate guy-next-door. And finally, Nathan Fast rounds out the DJ cast. The wheeler-dealer of the group, Nathan worked his way up the ladder tackling several radio gigs from Las Vegas to Idaho and currently Clear Channel San Diego.
