Produced by Emmy and Grammy award-winning producer Rikki Hughes, iHeartRadio’s Living Black! will pay homage to the culture that sets the trends, creates the moments, and moves the world.
“Black culture is American culture and this past year especially has resulted in much needed and long overdue conversations about the role of race in America,” said Doc Wynter, Executive Vice President of Urban/Hip-Hop Programming Strategy for iHeartMedia. “‘iHeartRadio’s Living Black!’ will use iHeartMedia’s unparalleled reach to help shape these conversations and celebrate Black culture at scale – reaching hundreds of millions of listeners on iHeartMedia stations across all of our formats.”
Aside from the main event that will air February 20, the month-long celebration will highlight hundreds of Black artists, influencers and thought leaders through audio vignettes and tributes on 580 iHeartMedia broadcast radio stations in every format. iHeartRadio’s Living Black! will feature conversations that educate, inspire and celebrate the Black experience through a mix of custom tributes from artists and listeners across the nation.
