Reuters[/caption] iHeartMedia is hoping the iPhone maker will take an equity stake worth millions of dollars, the FT reported citing one of the sources. The tie-up could result in a multimillion-dollar marketing partnership rather than a direct investment, the report said citing another source. iHeartMedia filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy in March, after reaching an agreement with creditors to more than halve its $20 billion debt. In June, John Malone’s Liberty Media withdrew its proposal to invest in iHeartMedia. Apple and iHeartMedia did not immediately respond to requests for comments.
