Pride Radio (United States) is an LGBTQ+ electronic dance music and top 40 radio network launched by Clear Channel Communications Format Lab under the direction of Michael Albl, who conceived the format, on terrestrial HD2 & HD3 stations and online via CCRD (Clear Channel Radio Digital) in 2006. The radio division became known as iHeartMedia on September 16, 2014. It is one of several music channels that are available through iHeartMedia's iHeartRadio app.
The online portal acts as an interactive hub, hosting a variety of user-generated content. In addition, PRIDE Radio is a 24/7 streaming channel that plays upbeat Top 40 music (including remixes) and dance music targeted to the LGBTQ+ community. The service is also carried on the HD Radio sub-channels (HD2 & HD3) of selected iHeart radio stations around the U.S. The channel and accompanying online portal provide the LGBTQ+ audience with programming that aims to be entertaining, informative, and uniting. PRIDE Radio introduced a 24/7 slate of personalities in May 2013.
