Clear Channel sucks We all seem to agree that radio today is pretty much cookie cutter with most stations in most cities sounding the same. Well here's a big reason why. JUst about all of them are owned by the same company. With Clear Channel being in the news lately for organizing pro war rallies under a fake citizen group name and banning the Dixie Chicks from their play-lists, I thought I would share a site with all of you that is helping shine a light on the monster that Clear Channel has become.
http://www.clearchannelsucks.org ClearChannelSucks.org is a free speech website dedicated to educating the public about entertainment giant Clear Channel. Clear Channel owns over 1,200 radio stations and 37 television stations, with investments in 240 radio stations globally, and Clear Channel Entertainment (aka SFX, one of their more well-known subsidiaries) owns and operates over 200 venues nationwide. They are in 248 of the top 250 radio markets, controlling 60% of all rock programming. They outright own the tours of musicians like Janet Jackson, Aerosmith, Pearl Jam, Madonna and N'Sync. They own the network which airs Rush Limbaugh, Dr. Laura, Casey Kasem, and the Fox Sports Radio Network. With 103,000,000 listeners in the U.S. and 1,000,000,000 globally (1/6 of the world population), this powerful company has grown unchecked, using their monopoly to control the entire music industry. If you find this alarming, ClearChannelSucks.org is the place for you. Bringing Together Five Decades of R&B/Funk/Soul/Dance

Clear Channel does suck. Fortunately, the media industry will eat itself though all of this merging and what not, and it'll all end up shattered into thousands of pieces again, within... oh... 20 years? | |

Words can't describe how much I can't stand Clear Channel. "Funkyslsistah… you ain't funky at all, you just a little ol' prude"!

Clear Channel owns all the major stations here in Chicago. I hate the way they promote their "sister" stations on each station. There are about four I can name off the top of my head owned by them and they all suck. Radio sucks period. | |

Clear Channel doesn't own all of the major radio stations in Chicago. WGN and WLS to name 2 that they don't. And those are the biggest in Chicago. Unless you're listening to FM. And why you'd do that, I cannot guess. [This message was edited Thu Apr 17 5:24:24 PDT 2003 by AaronSuperior] | |
