I’ve been an iHeartRadio fan for years. iHeartRadio gives you access to over 1,500 crystal clear radio stations via your PC or your Cell. If you like news, like I do, you have access a plethora of live news talk shows around the USA via iHeardRadio: Rush, Levin, Clyde Lewis, Coast to Coast AM, etc.

Despite my love of iHeartRadio, with each and every upgrade, they have managed to basterdize the once great end user experience. First off, they try every trick in the book to get you to register. Once you register, it can keep track of your favorite radio stations. The problem is that after each and every very frequent update, this retarded program promptly forgets your registration requiring you to register all over again. This is a Pain in the ass so I have learned to never register to save my valuable time. Other problems for the end user, is that iHeartRadio seems to want to push one of their many music radio stations up in front of my news channels on a consistent basis. They would much rather that I listen to one of their mindless music channels than a news talk show. Maybe the music channels are more profitable than the talk radio news channels or maybe they don’t have enough listeners for their crappy music stations and need to push users to the music channels? Now each and every station is full of the standard ‘cut in commercials’ but that is not good enough for iHeartRadio, they insist on pushing additional commercials in your face before you get access to your favorite radio station. Another pisser is that iHeartRadio will spontaneously load without any user interaction. This can be embarrassing if you are in a meeting when iHeartRadio starts blaring from your coat or pant pocket. I have an application that kills iHeartRadio so that it cannot load spontaneously. Another problem with iHeartRadio and their affiliates is that they confuse Sports with News. Sports is sports and news is news. If I wanted to listen to sports, I would be listening to a sports channel. In short iHeartRadio has no respect for you the end user, just in squeezing out every last penny of revenue they can find.
