Jason Lee Announces “Hollywood Unlocked” Deal With iHeartRadio

    Hollywood Unlocked founder/CEO Jason Lee and Premiere Networks are launching a new weekly radio show on iHeartRadio and 50 iHeartMedia Urban Contemporary stations nationwide.

    The aptly named Hollywood Unlocked with Jason Lee will be co-hosted by Melyssa Ford and DJ Damage, who’ve been working with Lee on the Hollywood Unlocked Uncensored podcast.

    The two-hour program is scheduled to premiere August 17. The show will expand the Hollywood Unlocked brand, which already includes a website, podcast, YouTube channel and events.

    “When I first started Hollywood Unlocked four years ago, I had a dream of having a national show,” Lee said in a press release. “After several years of working hard and never losing sight of my journey, this dream has now come into reality.”

    Lee expressed his excitement about joining the iHeartMedia family, which features some of the biggest names in radio today.

    “Joining iHeartMedia and Premiere Networks with the likes of Ryan Seacrest, Big Boy and The Breakfast Club is not only exciting, but also an honor to be added to this list of iconic trailblazers in the field of broadcast,” he noted. “We are excited to share with the iHeartRadio listeners our unfiltered and sometimes wild and hilarious way of asking the biggest celebrities questions that fans want answers to. Hold on for this exciting ride!”

    Doc Wynter, iHeartMedia’s Executive Vice President of Urban/Hip Hop Programming Strategy, also commented on the new deal.

    “Jason has created a brand that connects millions of fans with celebrity news, pop culture and exclusive star interviews across multiple platforms, including events, digital, social media and podcasting,” Wynter said. “He’s a true influencer and we’re excited to partner with him to expand Hollywood Unlocked to radio listeners across the country.”

    1. Hello Hello Melyssa,
      I give all praise and worship to YAHUAH the name above ALL names that You Melyssa is back to life doing what you love period despite major setback. Without going into details some of us prayed for a new lease of life for you and what a transformation you are. So take note that from London Melyssa Ford has a fan.
      Now, am taking the opportunity to call you for help NOT for me but for a marvelous and dynamic 22 year old Sister based in Florida. She could do with an airtime exposure or publicity to win her a seat on the council or authority to stop ‘ Gentrification’ of the mainly black neighborhood with a strong fear it would be wiped out within two years.
      The election I believe is in August of this month which makes it rather Urgent but Not Too late.
      You are the best person to a Sister out who is putting herself out to benefit the black community.
      Let me hear from you.
      Shalom.
