Any idea what radio stations in town are owned by Clear Channel? Kevin Thompson steve truesdale wrote: It seems like it was only yesterday that they said they were changing. Some things always stay the same. Read on then boycot Clear Channel Communications. From Cyclingnews.com; Clear Channel continues to threaten cyclists Despite a public outcry following radio segments encouraging motorists to taunt or even strike cyclists on the road in both Houston, Texas and Cleveland, Ohio, it appears Clear Channel Communications, owner of radio stations throughout the United States, has not received the message. Listeners report hearing jokes about running cyclists off the road at a Raleigh, North Carolina radio station (G105) owned by Clear Channel. The segments, during which DJs shared tales and suggestions of how to run cyclists off the road, were aired September 22 and 23. Clear Channel claimed to have taken action with its Cleveland affiliate, and the Houston station was to run a public service announcement for the Houston Police Department's cycling education efforts. Nonetheless, a third radio market has deemed it appropriate to advocate violence against cyclists, to the horror of many listeners, but to the apparent amusement of others.
