Aside from the music issue, this is the radio conglomerate which has been "organizing" many of the pro-war / "support the troops" demonstrations in the US. The FCC (federal communication commission) is soon due to rule on relaxing the rules so that the airwaves media can be even further consolidated. -Bob Steel --------- Begin forwarded message ---------- Try this page and enter "Chicago" into the search box. This is the horse's mouth: http://www.clearchannel.com/radio/search.php Of course, they own live music venues, too...here's their list (it gives about a 100 mile radius from the zip code entered): http://cc.com/local_venues.asp?zipcode=60622 Also, there is a page for those concerned with Clearchannel, but I haven't explored it myself, so YMMV. Here's their intro paragraph and the url: 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. http://www.clearchannelsucks.org --------- End forwarded message ---------- ________________________________________________________________ Sign Up for Juno Platinum Internet Access Today Only $9.95 per month!
