Ryan Seacrest, host of America’s KIIS FM morning show in California, is to launch the brand new Radio Lollipop station in the Children’s Hospital of Orange County on Friday 22 September 2006.

Ryan will be broadcasting his live KIIS FM morning show from the Radio Lollipop studio from 06:00 to 10:00am (Pacific local time) followed by a live outdoor broadcast with the KISSFM Roadshow.

Ryan, along with KIIS FM staff, have been leading the charge to assist with fund-raising efforts to help launch a project of this magnitude. In making this announcement Ryan commented, “I’ve witnessed first hand the incredible work CHOC has done for children in our community and I’m committed to making sure Radio Lollipop becomes a reality”.

“Here at CHOC, we witness everyday the power of imagination and play in the recovery of our patients. We are so grateful to have Ryan Seacrest and KIIS FM partnering with us to bring this unique program to our hospital, providing smiles and laughter to children at a time when they need it the most,” says Elana TenHuisen, manager of CHOC’s Child Life Department. The Child Life Department will be responsible for administering the program.
