"The inaugural iHeartRadio Music Festival was an amazing experience for our listeners and music fans across America, and this year's lineup is again going to exceed all expectations. With CW as the Festival's TV broadcast partner, we can give people who can't be in Las Vegas the ability to watch this extraordinary event from their own living rooms," said John Sykes, President of Clear Channel Entertainment Enterprises.
