July 2, 2026 Make Your Myrtle Moment: Sweepstakes recap. Visit Myrtle Beach partnered with iHeartMedia this spring on the Make Your Myrtle Moment Sweepstakes, giving listeners ta chance to win the ultimate Myrtle Beach getaway. Running May 11th 2026 - June 7th, 2026, the sweepstakes paired on air radio promotion with a digital entry experience to drive both excitement and measurable engagement with the destination. The offer. The grand prize gave entrants a reason to picture themselves on The Beach: a $1,000 gift card for travel expenses, four nights of oceanfront accommodations, four tickets to Ripley's attractions, and a $100 dining credit at The Hangout Myrtle Beach. iHeart Media supported the contest with a radio commercial spot and entry pages across its network, while the contest artwork embodied the Myrtle Moments look and feel so the campaign stayed consistent with everything else Visit Myrtle Beach is doing this year. The results. 73 iHeart Media stations across the country ran the sweepstakes throughout the two-week window, and the response gave the campaign real reach. * 75,144 completed entries * 12,288 total users * 4,879 visits to VisitMyrtleBeach.com * 6,722 clicks through to Instagram * 3,597 clicks through to Facebook * 5,690 shares on X Beyond the entry count, the sweepstakes did real work for the destination's digital footprint. Nearly 5,000 people clicked through to the official website, and social referrals to Instagram and Facebook combined for over 10,000 visits, turning a single contest into a stream of new audience touch points across multiple channels. A grand prize winner has already been selected and notified, giving one lucky entrant their own Myrtle Moment to look forward to this year. Why it matters. A contest like this does more than give away a vacation. It puts Visit Myrtle Beach in front of tens of thousands of potential visitors who may have never considered the Grand Strand as their next vacation spot, and converts that attention into opt ins, website visits, and social follows the destination can build on long after the contest ends. As a top-of-funnel effort, the sweepstakes engages the inspire phase of the Visit Myrtle Beach touchpoints, sparking interest among audiences who are just beginning to imagine their next getaway. With over 12,000 total users and traffic across three social platforms, the Make Your Myrtle Moment Sweepstakes shows how a focused media partnership can extend the reach of the Myrtle Moments campaign well beyond paid impressions.

K102's Amy James another victim of iHeartMedia cuts. The midday host confirmed she was laid off after 21 years at the station. Jun 26, 2026 9:31 AM EDT The ongoing iHeartMedia cuts claimed another victim on Thursday, with K102 midday host Amy James confirming she has been laid off. James, who has been with the country music station for 21 years, confirmed in a social media post on Thursday that she was "let go," amid wider cuts implemented by parent company iHeartMedia this week. "Yes, I'm sad. I also can't help but feel incredibly grateful for all the friendships I've made and the experiences I've had," she wrote. "What will I miss most? The people. Thanks to everyone who listened through the years, showed up to events and appearances and became an important part of my life. I don't know what's next, but I'm excited and nervous. For now, 'Amy James out for the day!' Thank you for the memories. And Mom, thanks for the above words of encouragement." The K102 schedule currently shows no hosts between Chris Carr & Company's 5 a.m. to 10 a.m. slot and Zach Dillon's 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. slot. It's not clear at this time whether her spot will be filled with a local host. Bring Me The News has reached out to K102 for more information. Earlier this week, radio host Jon Justice announced that his show was ending on conservative talk radio station AM 1130 KTLK following iHeart cuts, which is affecting dozens of stations across the U.S. amid a technology-driven realignment by the media giant. Changes in the Minnesota radio industry aren't exclusive to iHeart either. Earlier this week, Hubbard Broadcasting ended the station's afternoon Staci & Hutch show, which ran from 2-7 p.m. on weekdays and has been on the air since 2019. And on Thursday it was reported that family-owned Radio Mankato has made an apparent reduction in staffing that included the departure of host Lisa Kaye. MN Lifestyle The station informed staff this week that the hosts' contracts will not be renewed. Dustin Nelson June 23, 2026 MN Lifestyle On-air talent from Alaska to Alabama were also impacted by the cuts.

Broadcast radio enters new era: iHeartMedia first to bring 'AudioGraph' to market, introducing Digital Precision and measurability to the largest audio audience in America. New advertising capabilities connect broadcast radio to the digital ecosystem by enabling precise targeting and measurement, providing additional reach and scale for brands, and leveraging the live cultural moments created in broadcast New York, NY - June 18, 2026 - iHeartMedia, the No. 1 audio company in America today unveiled AudioGraph(TM) a suite of advertising capabilities that, for the first time, will bring digital-like targeting, identity-based planning and measurement, and outcome-based attribution to broadcast radio at scale. These capabilities are powered by Triton Digital, the global technology and services leader. The vast majority of audio consumption (64 percent) comes from broadcast radio, yet up until today, it has lacked the targeting and measurement infrastructure available in digital. iHeartMedia's broadcast radio stations reach more than 278 million consumers every month, and now with AudioGraph, for the first time, advertisers can plan, target, measure, and attribute that audience using privacy-safe, ID-informed insights with digital-like precision. AudioGraph makes it possible by connecting a privacy-safe identity spine, enriched audience attributes built from TransUnion data, and proprietary ID-level listening models that enable planning and measurement at the listener level while activating campaigns at broadcast scale. Proof of concept shows that broadcast radio campaigns planned and measured using privacy-safe AudioGraph IDs can deliver a KPI outcome 75 percent higher than traditional demo-based plans. "Audio has always delivered unmatched scale and human-to-human connection, but measurement and precision have lagged behind digital," said Lisa Coffey, Chief Business Officer for iHeartMedia. "With 9 out of 10 Americans listening to broadcast radio every month, it's extremely important that buyers can access this scale and impact with the precision and efficiency of digital media. With AudioGraph, we've closed that gap. Marketers can now use audio as an addressable and measurable performance channel at a national scale; with the same accountability they expect from every other part of their media plan." "This innovation plays into the demands of the digital ecosystem and how brands can now buy radio, addressable, measurable and automated," said Vinny Rinaldi, Vice President of Consumer Connections for The Hershey Company. "Radio now has a chance to see its day, helping drive demand creation and new intent, for brands, aligned with the measurement architect of the rest of the digital ecosystem. AudioGraph, is a great innovation for the industry, bringing the massive scale of radio to help deliver against brand growth models, build on penetration and reaching genuinely new buyers." AudioGraph is powered by three core capabilities: targeting, buying, and measurement: Unmatched Scale, Now with Digital Precision AudioGraph brings digital-like targeting to broadcast radio through custom ID-based audience segments built from first-party listener data and TransUnion's identity graph. These segments inform campaign planning and optimization using privacy-safe AudioGraph IDs, while advanced predictive listening models enable advertisers to reach audiences at scale with greater accuracy than traditional demo-based approaches. These capabilities are now enabled across broadcast for the first time and extend to streaming and podcast environments, allowing brands to activate campaigns against consistent audience definitions across all of iHeartMedia's audio inventory. A Modern, Digital Way to Buy Radio AudioGraph supports multiple buying channels, making broadcast radio as efficient and easy to buy as digital media. The platform offers direct DSP connectivity - ensuring it operates seamlessly with today's digital ecosystem - and is designed to integrate with the emerging agentic landscape. DSP connectivity is important to sit in the digital ecosystem as it is today. "We're excited to build on our existing partnership with iHeartMedia by adding AudioGraph, bringing more precise targeting and measurement to broadcast radio," said Chandra Cirulnick, VP Strategic Partnerships at Yahoo DSP. "Our collaboration through Yahoo ConnectID has already improved match rates on iHeartMedia's digital inventory. Adding broadcast radio via AudioGraph means our clients can reach even broader audiences with measurable results." Measurement Built for an Open Ecosystem AudioGraph was built to be interoperable with the digital measurement ecosystem. The platform supports any measurement, attribution, or analytics partner that advertisers already work with. iHeartMedia has validated deeper integrations with preferred partners including Magellan AI, PlaceIQ, and GroundTruth, connecting audio exposure to real-world outcomes such as foot traffic and in-store visits for a national home improvement brand. Early results showed that AudioGraph-powered campaigns informed by ID-based planning and measurement, outperformed traditional demo-based buying. "One of the biggest challenges for advertisers has been evaluating broadcast radio within a unified, cross-channel measurement framework," said Cameron Hendrix, CEO and Co-Founder of Magellan AI. "AudioGraph helps close that gap by making radio listenership addressable and attributable within the same systems as digital and podcasting. That alignment gives marketers a way to translate their media mix into the same language, enabling a more complete view of performance and proving the incremental reach and value broadcast radio delivers." Additionally, iHeartMedia's Guaranteed Human commitment means every AudioGraph impression runs alongside content created by real hosts, real creators, and real communities, not AI-generated personalities or synthetic voices. "It turns out that unlike TV, which was just a delivery system for programs, consumers think about radio differently. It's a companion," said Bob Pittman, Chairman and CEO of iHeartMedia. "There are more people listening today than 10 or 20 years ago, and that trust is something no technology can manufacture. AudioGraph lets advertisers harness trust and unparalleled reach harness that trust with the precision and proof the modern marketplace demands." Triton Digital created AudioGraph as an industry wide solution that will be deployed across the broadcast radio landscape in the US and globally. By creating a standardized set of digital signals and data-science driven models, Triton has enabled AudioGraph as a common identity solution for all radio broadcasters. AudioGraph will launch with iHeartMedia inventory with plans to expand its capabilities across the broader broadcast industry in 2027.
