LOS ANGELES, Jan. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Following the recent tragic events and devastation caused by wildfires in Southern California, DIRECTV is teaming up with FireAid to help rebuild the affected local communities. DIRECTV will broadcast the upcoming FireAid Benefit Concert to consumers and businesses on Jan. 30 nationwide for free on MyFree DIRECTV, and at no additional cost to streaming and satellite customers, all on channel 101.

The one-night-only benefit concert will be held at Intuit Dome and Kia Forum starting at 6:00 p.m. PDT at the Kia Forum (doors open at 5:00 p.m.), and Intuit Dome will begin at 7:30 p.m. (doors open at 5:00 p.m.). The biggest names in music will come together for an evening of music and solidarity dedicated to rebuilding communities devastated by the wildfires.

DIRECTV will donate $1 million to FireAid to help provide relief in affected communities across Southern California, as well as donate FireAid Benefit Concert tickets to families affected by the Altadena fire while staying at the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Southern California Pasadena house. DIRECTV will also activate onsite with Dog Haus and the Inspire Brands Foundation before the benefit concert at Kia Forum to give attendees the opportunity to thank local first responders.

"DIRECTV is proud to call Los Angeles home for the past 30 years and is honored to work with FireAid to make the benefit concert available to our consumers and businesses nationwide at no cost, and to support our customers, our employees, and communities in Southern California affected by the recent fires," said Bill Morrow, CEO at DIRECTV.
