iHeartRadio partners with Optus: Offers free data and new app

iHeartRadio Australia has launchched My Favourites Radio as part of its new app powered by Optus

The app gives audiences more new and personalised ways to customise, explore and discover new music, podcasts and entertainment as well as receive the latest updates as they are rolled out globally.

The My Favourites Radio feature allows audiences to create their ultimate listening experience combining their favourite songs, artists and genres into a single personalised station that continues to refine and update the more it’s used. The more a listener thumbs-up a song, artist or genre, the better their My Favourites Radio gets.

The My Favourites Radio app is not available as an automatic app upgrade. Listeners need to download and switch to the new iHeartRadio app which is available now on iOS and Android

iHeartRadio Australia’s Content Director Brett “Nozz” Nossiter said, “I’m very excited to launch My Favourites Radio as part of our latest app release. With live and custom radio, podcasts and topical pop up stations, this really places iHeartRadio at the nexus of audio entertainment, putting listeners in control. And we have even bigger enhancements to come in 2017!”

Geraint Davies COO of iHeartRadio Australia said, “This is a huge release with new feature updates and improved integration with wearable technology like the Samsung Gear devices and Apple Watch. As this is a new and updated code base it will enable us to more easily add new app based platforms when they appear.”

You can stream all of your favourite artists data-free on iHeartRadio with selected Optus mobile plans. Find out how here
