The Real Radio Network, a division of GMG Radio, and Premiere Networks, the leading audio network in the U.S., announced they have joined efforts to launch On Air with Ryan Seacrest in the UK.

Hosted by Ryan Seacrest, music’s number one radio host in the U.S. reaching a weekly worldwide audience estimated at more than 20 million, the widely-successful entertainment news program will be re-produced exclusively for the UK audience.

On Air with Ryan Seacrest will broadcast weeknights from 11 p.m. - 1 a.m. local time on Real’s five-station network - Central Scotland, Wales, Yorkshire, and North West and North East England - which reaches 2.5 million adult listeners each week.

Broadcasting from his E! Studios in Hollywood, Seacrest focuses on all aspects of the entertainment industry, highlighting and interviewing top talent from the worlds of music, film and television. In addition, listeners can visit www.RyanSeacrest.com to interact and connect with the show, and get their daily entertainment and lifestyle news. The site features photos, videos and social networking.

"It’s a thrill for me to bring our show to the U.K., a nation so rich in arts, culture and entertainment," said Seacrest, who also hosts the internationally syndicated American Top 40 radio program heard on nearly 500 stations worldwide. "It's also exciting to expand our reach internationally, as I'm confident we'll learn and grow, as we have every step of the way since our early days as a small radio show on one Los Angeles station.”

GMG Radio’s Group Programme Director John Simons said: “Ryan Seacrest has a huge following in the UK thanks to American Idol, but his radio show is one of the best in the world and I’m delighted we’ll be able to bring it to listeners in the UK every day of the working week – something that’s never been done before.”

Tanya Juhasz, Premiere Networks Executive Director, International Business Development, stated, “The UK culture’s genuine thirst for headlines, newsmakers and all things entertainment, makes this market a perfect fit for On Air with Ryan Seacrest. GMG and the Real Radio brand truly connect with their listeners and we look forward to being a part of that relationship.”
