The partnership will bring ABC News and entertainment programming to Clear Channel’s new iHeartRadio Talk feature. The deal includes content from ABC News, Nightline, 20/20, This Week with George Stephanopoulos, Good Morning America, Jimmy Kimmel Live and The View.
The radio conglomerate is expected today to announce its acquisition of a minority stake in American Idol host Ryan Seacrest’s TV and film production company, financing future growth and allowing for new collaborations between the two. The investment in Seacrest — who will remain the main owner of Ryan Seacrest Productions — comes weeks after Clear Channel Radio renamed itself Clear Channel Media and Entertainment to promote its move into other media, including television.
