Clear Channel Radio has launched Dream Radio as part of it's iheartradio online initiative. The channel is hosted by the aspiring talent behind Simon Fuller’s If I Can Dream online entertainment program. Dream Radio will serve as the soundtrack to the hosts' journey through Hollywood and will document their triumphs, struggles and setbacks. The five aspiring artists will continue to shape and evolve the station, providing new anecdotes, updates and music picks as the season – and their careers – progress.
If I Can Dream was launched last week, and Clear Channel Radio helped lay the groundwork for the show by introducing the program’s cast to America via its on-air talent and digital platforms. Now, with Dream Radio, fans will be able to hear the cast’s stories, words of inspiration and favorite songs. The music on the station is diverse, ranging from The Beatles to Michael Jackson to Beck to Kelly Clarkson. Dream Radio is available exclusively via the iheartradio network and mobile application, and through a custom widget that listeners can post on their blogs, websites and social media pages.
"Dream Radio’s mix of music and storytelling will play a vital role in connecting our listeners to Amanda, Justin, Giglianne, Ben and Kara as they pull back the Hollywood curtain and chase their dreams," said Evan Harrison, EVP of Clear Channel Radio and President of the company's digital group.
"This opportunity has opened so many new doors for us, and has given us the chance to interact with audiences across the world," added Amanda Philips, aspiring actress from If I Can Dream. "With Dream Radio, we can bring our friends and fans along with us on this amazing journey."
