All of their country stations are the same, different branding to each station but all the same playlists. Bob 949, WDSD, WPOC, Bill 95, all the same structure and tune. It gets pretty old hearing the same voices all over the US on a IHM country station.

This is a good piece; I have grown to hate Clear Channel and I "Heart" Radio for the repetitious, narrow pablum they pawn off as music.

They destroyed WDCG "G105" over here in this area. It was a great Top 40 radio station with more locally-programmed variety, then Clear Channel came and essentially slowly kill it and fire everyone. Everyone but Erica DeLong and the now market VP/programmer Trevor Moroni. They're both awesome and try hard to keep some of the old feel alive, but sadly damage has already been done to the station, and again, all thanks to Clear Channel, Thomas Hicks, Lowry Mays, Furst, and everyone else who invested or sold out to them.

Hey this was very informative! I dont think this info is widespread enough and it answers many peoples lingering thoughts of “why do all the radio stations play the same 5 songs?”. Im curious to know what the role the internet has played to combat the monopoly this company has in media…?

This video was brilliant and spot on. Excellent job!

Very well done..

Thank you for that info. I could find hardly anything about Clear Channel online here in the UK. I noticed that over the last decade or so most of the bill boards here have "Clear Channel" at the top. I have a new understand now of how the USA is in serious decline....because of issues like this! Reagan started it by allowing corporations to become monopolies, and hence setting the stage for todays corrupt crony capitalism! A very dangerous situation as young people are rapidly turning against capitalism with no understanding of why it no longer seems to work for them and so many small businesses.

One thousand two hundred farty stations , something don't smell right.

Spaceguerilla!!! Great video.

Eye opening

When I was in my 20's any good hifi system had to have a good tuner. Now in my 60's I have a excellent tuner live on a hill can receive FM stations in a 200 mile radius. I live in Syracuse NY and there is not a station worth a damn. Thank God for internet radio.

Now do google.

Nearly?

Do you have a solution for struggling small media businesses that have over invested in unregulated platforms like TikTok, that now have small ‘businesses’ owners drowning in debt for views ?

As A Navajo code mocker? my friends can just pray 4 Allah 5 times per day? “all word sins are forgiven”

My hope is in Jesus Christ The only hope is in Jesus Christ today is the day of salvation John 3:16-21 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. Mark 1.15 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Hebrews 11:6 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
