Ryan Seacrest Expands Clear Channel Radio Relationship with New Venture and Continued Partnership

New Daily Radio Program Hosted by Seacrest Goes National with Multiplatform Distribution

Renews Contract with 102.7 KIIS-FM and Premiere Radio Network

SAN ANTONIO, February 28, 2008 – Clear Channel Radio and Ryan Seacrest announced today they are partnering to bring a new entertainment news program to radio audiences nationally. The new three-hour syndicated program, On Air with Ryan Seacrest, is set to launch this spring and will be broadcast live from E! Studios in Hollywood. The program will focus on all aspects of the entertainment industry, highlighting top talent from the worlds of music, film and television, and will be available for air daily, between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. local time. Seacrest and Clear Channel Radio will develop original content for the program for national and international distribution across audio, video and online platforms. It is a multi-platform deal in which Seacrest develops on-air content, hosts the program, distributes some elements across other platforms, and provides a portion of integrated advertising options. This new venture, and continued partnership, further solidifies Seacrest’s position as the ultimate resource for pop culture and entertainment.

In conjunction with the new deal, there will be a re-launch of RyanSeacrest.com tied specifically to the new national program. It will be the one universal place for listeners of all affiliates to interact and connect with the daily show, and will become their source for daily entertainment and lifestyle news. They will also be able to view live, streamlined videos and photos, as well as participate in social networking. All content will be controlled by Ryan Seacrest Productions (RSP).

Additionally, Seacrest has renewed deals to continue as host of American Top 40 with Ryan Seacrest, which is nationally syndicated by Premiere Radio Networks, and On Air with Ryan Seacrest, his top-rated daily radio program which airs from 5:00 -10:00 a.m. PT on Clear Channel Radio’s 102.7 KIIS-FM in Los Angeles.

“Ryan has taken American Top 40 to new heights, and we can’t wait to hear what else he will bring to the show as he continues as host,” said Charlie Rahilly, President of Premiere Radio Networks. “Ryan’s talent and motivation are recognized industry-wide, and without a doubt, drive his success!”

Over the past three years, On Air with Ryan Seacrest at KIIS-FM has been the most-listened-to program in Southern California (Source: Arbitron MSA, Cume). The program consistently wins every female demo from 12-17 to 35-44. American Top 40 hit a broadcasting milestone of nearly 500 stations worldwide last year and continues to rank number one in New York, Los Angeles, Boston, Detroit and Minneapolis within its target demo of Adults 18-34 (Source: Arbitron MSA, Fall 2007, Exact times, Cume).

“This unique opportunity to create programming in collaboration with a game-changer like Ryan is an intriguing extension to our already fantastic working relationship with him, and we are thrilled that this new content will be accessible via all forms of radio,” said Greg Ashlock, President/Market Manager for Clear Channel Radio Los Angeles. “Ryan is great for radio because he finds a genuine way to connect with his audience every time he cracks open the microphone, and is one of the reasons KIIS-FM is back on top.”

For affiliation, please contact Premiere Radio Networks at 818-377-5300.

    Not a proffessional interviewer on the red carpet at the Oscars what so ever. No wonder Simon constantly points out Seacrest's ridiculous behavior on American Idol.

    Perez… considering you are overexposed to the Nth degree with a book, a deal for breaking recording artists, and a tv show, one would not expect you to be such a bitch about him trying to get his piece. not that i like him, but girlfriend slow your roll.

    perez, you're a jealous fat bitch. Ryan is where he is at because he works his ass off. Everything he has is contributed to endless hard work.

  41. Ange says – reply to this

    I am loving him snubbing Simon Cowell as he thanks the judges on American Idol every night. It must piss Cowell off no end when he's not mentioned….

  42. Moimeme says – reply to this


    42

    Gotta admit…he is a bit of a butt, BUT I listened to him when he had the JoBros on, and he amused me. I would listen. He may not be the brightest, but he is becoming a fixture I am comfortable with.

  43. I dont know anyone who likes him says – reply to this


    43

    Seacrest blows my mind. I dont know ANYONE, and I mean ANYONE!! who likes him. And yet he is everywhere.

    What the fuck is a closet fag like him doing hosting the Superbowl?!?!

    It is truly bizare.

    And his red carpethosting, where he aksed one actress if she will breastfeed and then holding another actresses purse over his crotch area was ridiculous.

    I bet Dunkleman is just about sick of hearing it.

    It's obvious you're jealous of pretty much everything about him.
    A.) He's attractive, you're not
    B.) He makes money a respectable way, you don't
    C.) He has a pleasant voice that people can listen to, no one can listen to yours for more than a a minute or two

    72

    Perez, I have been using the phrase 'golf claps' for a few months now, and this is the first time I have ever seen you use it in any of your posts. Don't steal my phrase. It's mine, biyatch.

  73. Larry says – reply to this


    73

    He used to end with "Seacrest out!" Maybe it is time to knock him out and then we wonn't have to suffer through his cutesiness on Idol. Love it when Simon makes the come out of the closet remarks to him!!! If he goes on national radio, I will NOT be listening to him!

  76. Sara says – reply to this


    76

    He is why I prefer to watch extra over E news. He does not have to be on every damn show. He always sounds sick, maybe he should take a break. The world will go on without Ryan Seacrest

    Perez, you're hilarious.

  81. Amy says – reply to this


    81

    Spare me. Ryan Seacrest is the most annoying son of a bitch in Hollywood. He is fake, obnoxious and transparent. He simply nauseates me. Maybe he disgusts me because he pretends that he's straight and doesn't accept his own sexuality. Oh wait a minute, that's not it. It's because he's a DOUCHEBAG.

  82. Rande says – reply to this


    82

    Oh Please GOD no. He is as overplayed as "Unwritten". Give him the hook already. Narcissist freak. Yuk.

    P.S. Perez, why don't you put these "First" freaks with no life in ascending order so we readers can get to the other opinions without having to weed through all their stupid shit.

    85

    I gotta ask this question and maybe some of you guys know or maybe Perez knows but what is the deal with Seacrest and that Shana Wall chick. I mean the girl is gorgeous and finds him cute I mean is he with her or not?

  86. Nancy says – reply to this


    86

    OK this is what I know of Seacrest and Wall she was his girlfriend but they are broken up but they still remain friends yet I have friends who do know her very well and while Seacrest thinks she was always faithful to him it is known she has really cheated on him behind his back and while I love Seacrest and think he is a great guy his judgement in women isn't great!

  87. Teresa says – reply to this

    Ryan is a complete dick. He talks down to everyone he is working with and acts like it is completely amusing. The thing is: he's not bright, he's not witty, he's definately not hot. He is just a turd that for whatever reason has been able to stay in the spotlight for 25 minutes.
