The voice of morning radio in Los Angeles is staying put.
iHeartMedia has inked a new three-year deal with Ryan Seacrest, bringing his contract through the end of 2027. Under the agreement, the omni-present entertainer will continue to be a core personality across all iHeartRadio platforms, hosting and producing its No. 1 L.A. morning drive-time show for 102.7 Kiis-FM as well as the nationally syndicated On Air with Ryan Seacrest and American Top 40 with Ryan Seacrest.
As part of the new pact, which brings Seacrest to nearly 30 years in the iHeart family and 20 years as the voice of morning radio in L.A., he’ll also maintain a close working relationship with iHeart chairman and CEO Bob Pittman and president Rich Bressler. In that capacity, Seacrest not only provides input into the company’s major initiatives but also hosts several of its tentpole events, including the two-day iHeartRadio Music Festival and L.

Amp Written and performed by Jody Christopherson Directed by Isaac James Byrne Presented by Goode Productions at Here, NYC December 5-19, 2017
Imagine, if you will, a frog’s legs, ending abruptly not in a frog but merely in its spine, carefully cleaned of the flesh that once held it. Next, multiply this image, and picture a chain of these macabre trinkets strung out in an elevated location. Finally, conjure in your mind’s eye a lightning strike that sets those legs twitching and jerking of their own accord. This is the one of the first images with which Jody Christopherson’s new play, Amp, confronts the audience, plunging us into a nineteenth-century stew of galvanism, resurrection men, and tragedy-tinged literary legends.
Amp sees Christopherson reunited with Isaac James Byrne, under whose direction we saw her last fall in The Players Theatre run of Sylvia Milo’s The Other Mozart, another one-woman show,...
