Dolly + iHeart = Dollywood Radio
• Guests of Dolly Parton‘s famed Dollywood theme park in Pigeon Forge, TN rejoiced over the July 4th weekend as the park’s beloved Blazing Fury roller coaster reopened on Friday morning.
During that event, park officials also announced the launch of “Dollywood Radio,” a new station created by iHeartMedia, featuring programming from Dolly’s unprecedented catalog of music, as well as songs from her favorite artists across Country, Bluegrass and Gospel genres. In recognition of the park’s 40th season, the station also features songs highlighted as part of Dollywood’s in-park atmosphere music.
“Dolly Parton is a living legend, and now her music, the music she loves, and the fun of her Dollywood theme park, all have a dedicated home on iHeart’s Dollywood Radio, hosted by Dolly herself,” said Jon Zellner, iHeartMedia Pres. of Programming Ops & Digital Music. “This new station captures the heart and soul of the Smoky Mountains, featuring a handpicked blend of Country classics, Bluegrass, Folk, and songs by some of Dolly’s dearest friends in music. We’re honored to partner with Dollywood to bring this one-of-a-kind listening experience to life exclusively on the iHeartRadio app.”
Pete Owens, Dollywood’s VP of Marketing and Public Relations, remarked, “The partnership with iHeartMedia to develop Dollywood Radio is exciting for us because it means our loyal fans can enjoy the sounds and excitement of a day at Dollywood even if they aren’t able to be here. We are celebrating our 40th anniversary season in 2025, and our fans have been sharing so many of their favorite memories of the park through the decades. We’re thankful for the opportunity to work with iHeartMedia to celebrate this milestone for the next year. We know our guests are going to enjoy being able to take a little bit of Dollywood home with them!” Dollywood Radio is now streaming on iHeartRadio.com and the iHeartRadio app.
