Yamz Media Group Announces YTN News is Coming Soon

​

CHICAGO, IL - May 11, 2026 - Yamz Media Group, a premier multi-platform broadcasting network, today officially announced an upcoming distribution agreement to bring YTN News to iHeartRadio. This highly anticipated launch will extend the network's reach, delivering dedicated, high-impact Chicago-centric news, culture, and sports updates to millions of active digital audio listeners nationwide.

​

The upcoming iHeartRadio integration serves as the cornerstone of Yamz Media Group’s major 2026 digital expansion. The audio streaming channel will bring the network’s signature hyperlocal journalism and comprehensive sports coverage to a national audience, allowing listeners to stream live breaking news, community stories, and regional sports updates on any iHeartRadio-enabled smart device, dashboard, or mobile application.

​

To support this massive audio expansion, Yamz Media Group has also rolled out its newly re-engineered, consolidated network website and a modernized corporate logo. The upgraded visual assets and unified digital platform seamlessly blend the company’s sub-brands—including Yamz Television Network (YTN), YTN News, and YTN Sports—into a single, high-performance web destination.

​

"Our upcoming launch on iHeartRadio is a game-changer for Yamz Media Group and our dedicated audience," said a network spokesperson. "Chicago is a city driven by passionate communities and unmatched sports culture. Bringing our tailored Chicago-centric news and sports reporting to a massive, leading audio platform ensures that listeners can stay connected to the stories that matter most, whether they are at home, commuting, or on the go. This expansion, paired with our new logo and centralized website, marks the dawn of a truly unified, multi-platform media era for our brand."
