iHeart & Seacrest Renew Through 2025

• iHeartMedia announced that it has signed a new contract extension with marquee talent Ryan Seacrest, extending him through December 31, 2025, during which time Seacrest will celebrate 30 years with the company.

Under the terms of the agreement, Seacrest will continue in his role as one of the core personalities across all iHeartRadio platforms, hosting his morning show on KIIS-FM/Los Angeles, the nationally-syndicated On Air with Ryan Seacrest and American Top 40 with Ryan Seacrest. Seacrest will also continue to work closely with both iHeartMedia Chairman & CEO Bob Pittman and President, COO & CFO Rich Bressler, providing input into the company’s major initiatives and hosting several tentpole events, including the annual iHeartRadio Music Festival; New York City’s annual iHeartRadio Jingle Ball holiday concert and others.

“Continuing my relationship with iHeartMedia was a no-brainer,” said Seacrest. “Thirty years speed by when you love what you do. I get to live out my dream every day by interacting with our listeners and hearing their stories. Thank you to Bob and Rich and the entire iHeartMedia team for continuing to support us and grow with us. And a special thank you to my on-air crew, the best team in radio, for making the show work seamlessly every day.” Bressler remarked, “We are honored to continue working with Ryan, who has consistently delighted audiences both digitally and in-person with his knowledge, energy and trustworthiness. Ryan is truly unique in the world of entertainment, with a keen eye for business and the talent to match. His impact is unparalleled, and we congratulate him on nearly three decades as part of the iHeartMedia family!”

Seacrest’s deal was negotiated by Jeff Refold, COO & CFO of Ryan Seacrest Enterprises, and Jonathan West at Latham & Watkins LLP.
