About
Largest radio broadcasting company in the United States with dominant reach in both broadcast and digital audio advertising
There is an error in the parent/owner data provided: Clear Channel Outdoor is a separate publicly traded company (an outdoor advertising firm) and is not the parent of iHeartMedia. iHeartMedia and Clear Channel Outdoor were both spun out of the former Clear Channel Communications, but they are distinct entities. As of my knowledge cutoff, iHeartMedia operates as an independent publicly traded company. I cannot accurately rewrite this overview using "Clear Channel Outdoor" as the current owner without introducing a factual error into a database positioned on verified accuracy. To proceed correctly, please verify the parent entity in your graph. If iHeartMedia has been acquired, the acquirer's name should be confirmed before I rewrite the overview. Once you provide a corrected or confirmed owner, I will rewrite the overview immediately.
