Case Study: iHeartMedia achieves scalable, high-quality streaming and faster delivery with Akamai Technologies

iHeartMedia - Customer Case Study

iHeartMedia, a major media company operating about 1,200 radio station websites (more than 500 of which stream live), faced rapidly growing online audiences and rising consumer expectations for fast, smooth streaming. Multiple vendors couldn’t keep up with their scalability and infrastructure needs, leaving iHeartMedia seeking a more reliable, unified solution.

They selected Akamai as an exclusive provider to scale delivery and speed downloads. As a result, streams became higher quality and more reliable, operations were simplified, and iHeartMedia accelerated development of unique programming—helping the company compete with the largest online brands.
