iHeartMedia Phoenix and Premiere Networks have reached a long-term renewal with “The Johnjay & Rich Show,” securing the popular morning duo for another multi-year run. Under the new deal, the show will continue to broadcast live from iHeartMedia CHR “104.7 Kiss-FM” KZZP in Phoenix, where it airs weekdays from 5-10am (MT) and maintains a strong ratings presence, especially among Women 25-54 and Persons 25-54.
The new pact also extends the show’s syndication partnership with Premiere Networks, which distributes the program to nearly 20 affiliates nationwide across various music formats. On-demand access remains available via iHeartRadio and other podcast platforms, where the show has surpassed 75 million downloads.
The agreement comes as co-hosts Johnjay Van Es and Rich Berra recently celebrated 25 years on-air together.
“Signing on for another five years with iHeart means more to me than I can put into words,” Van Es said in a release. “This place has changed my life, believed in me, and given me a home.”
“All Johnjay and I have ever wanted was to do our radio show and iHeart has made that possible,” Berra added. “We are so excited to continue our unique brand of nonsense.”
Mark Medina, SVP of Programming for iHeartMedia Phoenix, called the pair “a distinctive brand of high-energy entertainment and community connection that resonates deeply with their loyal listeners.” He added, “We are thrilled to have the guys based here in Phoenix with iHeart for another five years.”
