In a windfall to business card printers across the country, Clear Channel has changed it’s name to iHeartMedia. From the press release:<\/p>\n

\u201ciHeartMedia reflects our commitment to being the media company that provides the most entertainment to the most engaged audiences wherever they go, with more content and more events in more places on more devices,\u201d said Bob Pittman, Chairman and CEO of iHeartMedia, Inc. \u201cWe have massive consumer reach and influence across our platforms because we know how to program the live content people want to hear, see and share right now, we are the largest mobile media company in existence — more than 60 percent of our broadcast usage is out of home, compared to just 30 percent for other mobile devices \u2013 and we deliver more live programming than any other media company today, built on the national and local on-air personalities who are the heart of our powerful broadcast radio franchises. Combined with Clear Channel Outdoor\u2019s reach of over half a billion people worldwide across 30 countries and five continents, it\u2019s clear that no other company can match our reach or broad spectrum of media platforms.\u201d<\/p>\n

Adding to the confusion, iHeartMedia is actually a holding company for iHeartCommunications. Outdoor will continue using the Clear Channel name, even though “clear channel” is originally a technical term in radio broadcasting.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
