Clear Channel faces US inquiry - Radio giant Clear Channel is being investigated over claims of abusing its market dominance, a US government official has revealed. Clear Channel faces 2 antitrust inquiries - During testimony to lawmakers, U.S. Assistant Attorney General Hewitt Pate said the first investigation concerns allegations Clear Channel uses its market dominance to coerce recording artists into using its concert promotion business in return for better radio airplay. - The second investigation involves allegations Clear Channel exerts monopoly control over radio stations in Southern California through the use of U.S.- and Mexico-based stations, according to a report in the Deal, a New York-based financial newsmagazine. Clear Channel opens up - Radio giant is trying to improve its image but won't bow to critics - In the past 12 months, Clear Channel Communications has been accused of everything from monopolizing and homogenizing the radio industry to censoring the Dixie Chicks and being a right-wing mouthpiece. Clear Channel Rewrites Rules of Radio Broadcasting - "Since Clear Channel came into our community and consolidated the stations there, and began to take up a wide share of revenue from that market, Clear Channel has eliminated entirely the local news department from those stations. Clear Channel now broadcasts news that originates from Baltimore over 100 miles away, and that centralized news agency has never had a reporter in our community," he said. How to Lose Your Job in Talk Radio - Criticism of Bush and his ever-shifting pretext for a first-strike war (what exactly was it we were pre-empting anyway?) has proved so serious a violation of Clear Channel’s cultural taboo that only a good contract has kept me from being fired outright. Clear Channel execs donate more to Bush - Clear Channel, rejecting Howard Stern's claims that he was canned for slamming President Bush, says its radio network does not have a political agenda. - But new political contribution data tell a different story about Clear Channel (CCU) executives. They have given $42,200 to Bush, vs. $1,750 to likely Democratic nominee John Kerry in the 2004 race. - What's more, the executives and Clear Channel's political action committee gave 77% of their $334,501 in federal contributions to Republicans. That's a bigger share than any other entertainment company, says the non-partisan Center for Responsive Politics. Antiwar Group Says Its Ad Is Rejected - A group of antiwar advocates is accusing Clear Channel Communications, one of the nation's largest media companies, with close ties to national Republicans, of preventing the group from displaying a Times Square billboard critical of the war in Iraq.
