iHeartMedia is the number one audio media company in the U.S. based on consumer reach. Within the audio industry, companies operate in two primary sectors: •The ‘music collection’ sector, which essentially replaced downloads and CDs, and •The ‘companionship’ sector, in which people regard radio and podcasting personalities as their trusted friends and companions on whom they rely to provide coverage on everything from entertainment, local news, storytelling, information about new music and artists, weather, traffic, sports and more. We operate in the second sector and use our large scale and national reach in broadcast radio to build additional complementary platforms. We believe we are the only major multi-platform audio media company, and each platform is complementary to the others, building on and extending our companionship relationship with the consumer.
