5. Recent Studies Show That Radio Remains A Very Relevant Medium • An Arbitron/Edison Media Research study conducted in January 2007 reported that • 79% of Americans expect to listen to AM/FM radio as much in the future as they do now despite advances in technology • 77% of online radio listeners, 79% of audio podcast listeners, and 70% of satellite radio subscribers expect to maintain their current AM/FM radio listening in the future • People who listen to digital radio platforms (online, satellite, or audio podcast) do not spend less timelistening to AM/FM radio. Digital listeners have an AM/FM TSL of 2:45 per day compared to all listeners’ AM/FM TSL of 2:37. • An American Media Services survey conducted in September 2007 reported that • 74% of respondents are listening to radio the same or more than they were five years ago • 74% usually turn on the radio when they get in the car • 63% listen to the radio at least once a day • An American Media Services survey conducted in April 2006 reported that • 91% of respondents believe that radio is an important part of American life • 78% said that radio is important in their everyday lives • 74% reported that they listen to radio at least once a day • 78% said that they usually turn on a local radio station when they get in their car • 37% of those who have a favorite media personality in their market said that personality worked on the radio compared to 32% for TV SOURCE: www.americanmediaservices.comwww.arbitron.comhttp://www.paragon-research.com/

6. Rock Radio Listeners, Typically Quick To Adopt New Technology, Haven’t Given Up Traditional Mediums • The most important new feature that rock listeners want in their next personal mp3 player is an FM tuner • Two of the top four options for “the one thing” rock listeners couldn’t live without were traditional mediums: TV and FM radio • Satellite radio growth has stalled among rock listeners with subscribership unchanged from 2006 to 2007. Potential interest among non-subscribers has also declined since last year Jacobs Media Tech Survey III February/March 2007

7. Traditional Radio Remains Relevant Among Kids “Most of the people I know who own iPods are under 25, and they still listen to the radio. Why? Because that’s still a place where people go to hear their favorite music, and it’s still a place to go to hear about fun shows and contests and promotion. The iPod is a nice gadget, but where are you going to go when you want to win tickets to see Usher? You’re going to go to Channel 93.3, because your best friend said they were giving away Usher tickets on A.J.’s Playhouse.”Adam Jacobson, radio editor for Radio & Records “Don’t forget, teenagers are really looking for a sense of community, and that’s one thing that local Radio stations can really provide.” “Radio is, believe it or not, one of the top ways to reach teens that we’ve found in our research. We asked teens: “How would you recommend that companies advertise to reach people your age?” Radio was the number two answer on our list, just behind television.” Michael Wood, VP of Teenage Research Unlimited “Children and teens are spending an increasing amount of time using “new media” like computers, the Internet and video games, without cutting back on the time they spend with “old media like TV, print and music… Instead, because of the amount of time they spend using more than one medium at a time, they’re managing to pack increasing amounts of media content into the same amount of time each day.” “Generation M: Media in the Lives of 8-18 Year-olds” , Kaiser Family Foundation, March 2005 Karla Peterson and Mark Sauer, “Radio Singing A New Tune, The San diego Union-Tribune, April 13, 2005RAB White Paper: Teen Market 2002

8. “Old” Media Still Have The Highest Usage Among Kids “Young people’s use of “new” media such as computers and video games does not seem to displace their use of “old” media such as television and music. “Indeed, it seems instead that media use begets media use: those young people who spend the most time using computers or playing video games also spend more time watching TV and listening to music.” “Today’s youth are masters of multitasking. About a quarter of the time young people are using one medium, they’re doing something else media-related at the same time.” “Generation M: Media in the Lives of 8-18 Year-olds” , Kaiser Family Foundation, March 2005

9. Why Is Radio A Good Choice In This New Media Landscape? TargetabilityRadio is a highly targeted medium with a variety of special formats that uniquely target an advertiser’s potential customers. Programming and personalities attract large audiences within specific demographic groups that stay tuned in for long periods of time. ImmediacyRadio is the shopper’s companion, reaching consumers near the point of purchase. Consumers typically spend more time with Radio than with any other medium during prime shopping hours. In any 24 hour period, 63% of adults ages 25 to 54 are exposed to Radio within one hour of making their largest purchase of the day. (RAB Marketing Guide & Fact Book, 2004-2005). Emotional AppealRadio is an imagination medium, using the mind of the listener to create unique, evocative and effective images on a very personal level. Everyone has a favorite radio station which provides advertisers a unique opportunity to connect with consumers in a personal and generally private activity which results in a high degree of listener receptivity. Advertisers can create a one-to-one relationship with listeners which is so critical for breaking through the media clutter. “Radio advertising can spring forth a world of visions in the mind and connect your product to the consumer with that personal touch”. “The Power of Radio”, Kim Vasey, Senior VP/Director of Radio at Mediaedge:cia Mediaweek, August 23, 2004

10. The Radio Ad Effectiveness Lab (RAEL) Study, Personal Relevance, Personal Connections, How Radio Ads AffectConsumers,Highlights Radio’s Unique Emotional Appeal The research firm WirthlinWorldwide conducted a study on behalf of RAEL in 2004 to better understand how consumer perceptions of radio advertising might differ from those of TV and newspaper ads. The study had two phases, a qualitative phase to understand the values and benefits lexicon used by consumers in discussing media advertising, and a quantitative survey to better quantify the architecture of consumer relationships to advertising. Phase One was conducted using focus group interviews with adults aged 18-54 while Phase Two utilized a random sample survey methodology resulting in a completed sample of 662 adults. The study’s results, as summarized by RAEL, are below. • Radio listening is a one-on-one and emotions-driven experience, and listeners believe that both the medium and its advertising are more relevant to them (compared to television and newspapers) • Consumers see television and newspapers as being designed to satisfy the masses, but radio is where they turn to get gratification of their personalwants and needs. • Consumers believe that their radio programs carry ads which are appropriate for them as individuals, and listeners are therefore more ready to react at anemotional level – ifthe advertisement is well suited for that program’s context. • The ability of radio advertising to make personal, emotions-driven connections with listeners helps explain why radio can be so effective when the advertising is done well and placed appropriately. The Radio Advertising Effectiveness Laboratory (RAEL) was created in 2001 by advertisers, agencies and radio companies as an independent organization to research the effectiveness of Radio advertising in the U.S.

13. Adding Radio To The Media Mix Benefits Advertisers Due To The Synergy Effect The recent RAEL study, The Benefits of Synergy: Moving Money Into Radio revealed the following: • Substituting two Radio ads for one of two TV ads increased unaided brand recall by 34% • Substituting two Radio ads for one of two newspaper ads almost tripled unaided brand recall • Substituting one of two television or newspaper ads with two Radio ads resulted in more people choosing the advertised brand as their first choice product, and consumer playaback of main message was as good if not better than stand alone television or newspaper RAEL STUDY, THE BENEFITS OF SYNERGY: MOVING MONEY INTO RADIO, 2005

14. RAEL’sKey Implications For Advertisers Include: • Integrating Radio increases consumer impact without increasing costs against effectiveness measures including brand recall, message playback, and persuasion • Redeploying a portion of the budget into Radio appears to make marketing sense • A synergy mix with Radio was shown to work across five product categories providing validation for increased usage within current/pending campaigns. • Radio effectively communicates a message that can be received, remembered and played back by consumers. • Radio is known to be powerful in isolation but is also significantly potent in media mix settings. • Research demonstrates Radio’s ability to extend reach, and is an important way to communicate with consumers already reached by television and newspapers. Radio is more than a “supplement”. • It’s not about spending more. It’s about more wisely investing what you have.

15. Radio Can Boost An Advertiser’s ROI In June 2005, The Radio Ad Effectiveness lab (RAEL) released its third and largest “real world” study, “Radio’s Return On Investment Compared To Television”. The study, conducted by Millward Brown and Information Resources, Inc. (IRI), examined four pairs of radio and television campaigns in a range of product categories over a six month period. Scanner sales data from product categories included Grocery Food, Grocery Non-Food, and two Over-The-Counter Drug products. The study’s key finding: Incremental radio campaigns showed significantlybetter ROI for the advertisers than did their national television campaigns.

16. Specifically, Incremental Radio Delivered 49% Better Return On Investment Than The Corresponding National Television Campaigns All radio ads were :30s Radio ads were not pre-tested as were thetelevision ads. We would expect that better radiocreative with pre-testedads would result in an evenhigher radio ROI.

17. RAEL’s Implications For Advertisers Follow: • Radio moves product. Across four different advertisers, incremental radio advertising consistently and significantly increased product sales and delivered meaningful profit for each dollar of advertising. Radio demonstrated in this study that it can function as a primary medium for advertising. • Radio ads increase sales even when national television is present. Radio was just as potent in the presence of 50-100 Target Rating Points (TRPs) of national TV as it was by itself. In fact, the test results actually suggested slightly more impact for radio when combined with television than when used alone. • Radio’s effects can be measured – when radio is used at sufficient weight. Radio is prepared to be held accountable for its advertising effectiveness. But effectiveness measurement requires that advertising be present at sufficient weight for statistics to accurately capture that result. • Most importantly: Radio’s ability to deliver strong Return on Investment foradvertisers has been proven in a real-world test at last. In this study, radio’s ROI was 49% better than television’s, and radio advertising’s value is no longer just speculation.

18. Radio Continues To Reinvent Itself Proving Once Again That There’s Nothing “Old” About Radio “Having existed for more than 80 years, radio has met the challenge of new forms of audio delivery on numerous occasions and managed to remain a very competitive and profitable form of media.”Harris Nesbitt analyst Lee Westerfield, October 8, 2004 • High Definition (HD) radio allows broadcasters compete on the digital playing field of the 21st century. • Podcasting provides an on-demand product for radio. • Internet streaming of terrestrial broadcasts keeps radio top-of-mind when listeners are on-line. • Innovative online programs such as Clear Channel’s “Stripped” online concert series by major artists such as Rob Thomas and Jesse McCartney provide unique and original content on its radio station websites. • Clear Channel’s “Less Is More” initiative is improving the radio environment for both listeners and advertisers by reducing the clutter on all CC radio stations, and by improving the quality of commercials through Clear Channel’s newly created Creative Services Group. • Electronic audience measurement promises to provide more accurate audience measurement, showing radio as the reach vehicle that it is. It is designed to measure the emerging digital broadcasts, whether carried over the air, by cable, by satellite or on the internet.

19. What Exactly Is HD Radio? • HD Radio provides digital broadcasts with AM stations sounding as full-bodied as FM stations, and FM stations sounding like compact discs without static, hiss or signal fades. • HD Radio has been called “one of the most significant advances in over-the-air AM and FM broadcasts since the introduction of FM stereo”. • The majority of people select a radio station for its music selection, and research suggests that lower radio usage is due to listeners’ desire to hear more musical diversity. • Once radio stations cease to broadcast in analog, it will be possible to have two to three additional radio stations per frequency, enabling the broadcaster to create niche formats for its stations. For example, a news/talk station could have a signal broadcasting business news while a third signal broadcasts technology news. A Classic rock station could have a second signal broadcasting entire albums from ’70s rock artists while a third signal broadcasts cutting edge adult alternative artists. This will allow terrestrial radio to increase its program offerings and eliminate the advantage that satellite radio has with its niche formats.

Data delivery services including scrolling text with song titles and artist names, plus on-demand traffic updates, weather, sports scores, stock updates, breaking news, etc. Future developments include an interactive component with a “push to buy” button. • In the Summer of 2004, Clear Channel Communications began an aggressive rollout of digital broadcasting equipment” to 1000 stations which over a two to four year period is part of an overall effort to upgrade its radio technology, It is projected that by 2008 over 90% of the U.S. population will be reached by an HD station. • The HD Alliance, a joint initiative among the major broadcast companies, was announced in December 2005 to accelerate and coordinate the HD rollout, to promote the technology, and to ensure compatible format selections in each market. • The initial HD rollout began in January 2006 in 28 markets. By May 2007, the HD and HD2 multicast rollout was completed in the top 100 markets. There are currently over 1000 radio stations broadcasting in HD with approximately 700 multicasting. They program a variety of music or talk formats with member broadcasters responsible for programming each of their multicast channels. The HD2 multicasts will either complement existing on-air programming or introduce brand new music or talk formats

21. The Alliance committed $200 million to promote HD radio in 2006 , $250 million in 2007 and $230 million in 2008, positioning HD radio to be the nation’s largest radio advertiser.

34. “Less Is More” Is Creating Better Radio “Clutter is a major issue in our industry and our decision to limit the amount of commercial time and length of breaks, while reducing promotional interruptions, will benefit listeners, advertisers and the industry as a whole.” John Hogan, CEO Clear Channel Radio • Clear Channel Radio has placed a new and significantly lower ceiling on the number of commercial minutes that are aired per hour as well as the length of each spot break and the number of units in each break. These unit and spot loads apply to every Clear Channel Radio station across the country effective January 1st, 2005. There are no exceptions. • Each spot break has no more than four minutes of commercialsor no more than six units. This includes local, national, network and barter – anything that has revenue attached to it. • Clear Channel Radio Station promotional clocks were adjusted to a maximum of 2 minutes per hour effective October, 1st, 2004. • All Clear Channel stations are running three shorter breaks per hour instead of the traditional two long breaks. • Advertisers have the option of buying :60s, :30s, or :15s in a “first in pod, last in pod or island position.

35. Clear Channel Leads The Industry In Running Fewer Minutes and Units 57% of radio listeners report that they would increase their radio listening time if they felt that the number of commercials was noticeably reduced.* Clear Channel is currently running 17 percent fewer commercial minutes and 8% fewer units than the industry average** * PARAGON MEDIA STRATEGIES, “COMMERCIAL LOADS: IF A COMMERCIAL FALLS IN THE FOREST, WILL ANYBODY (NOT) HEAR IT?** Media Monitors November 26, 2007 6A-7P Top 10 markets

36. What Do Listeners Think of “Less Is More”? • A research study among commercial radio listeners conducted by Burke, Inc. and released in January 2005 showed the following: • Listeners exposed in the test to a “Less Is More” radio clock noticed: • Fewer commercials and shorter commercial breaks • More music being played • Shorter commercial breaks, shorter commercials, and fewer commercials relative to their favorite station • The “Less Is More” clock with three breaks tested the best among the three clocks tested (traditional spot load w 3 breaks; lightened spot load w 3 breaks; lightened spot load w 2 breaks) According to the 2005 Spot Load Study by Arbitron and Edison Media Research, listeners prefer more frequent, shorter commercial breaks as opposed to long blocks of programming with long blocks of commercials. 57% reported preferring stopping three times an hour for a commercial break compared to 34% who preferred stopping two times an hour.

37. The Burke Study Also Showed That :30s and :15s Can Be Just As Effective, And As :60s • Ad recall, a measure of effectiveness, appears to be related to other factors than commercial length. • a :15 traffic sponsorship and two other shorter length spots were all in the top third of recalled spots • Many nationally advertised and familiar brands using :60s did not out-perform commercials of shorter length. • Of all the ads tested, on average, a :30 ad had 74% of the recall of a :60 ad • On average, a :15 ad had 94% of the recall of a :60 ad • On average, :15 and :30 ads had 82% of the recall of a :60 ad LESS IS MORE RESEARCH, BURKE, INC. JANUARY 2005

38. ‘TM’ What Are The Advantages For An Advertiser? • A less cluttered environment means: • Better radio – listeners are never more than four minutes away from content • Stronger TSL - More listeners who listen longer • A cleaner environment for our advertisers’ messages to be showcased • More opportunities for spot placement within a spot break. Taking the first or last spot in a pod makes sure the advertiser’s message is always close to programming content. An advertiser also has the option of Island placement with a :60, :30 or :15 depending on the market and station clock.. • More opportunities in length of commercials, :15s, :30s, or :60s, “Blinks” or “Adlets” for specific campaigns (e.g. branding, educational, calls to action) • Ability to increase reach and frequency with the same dollar investment by using shorter spots. • Entry to radio for advertisers who couldn’t afford :60s but who will be able to afford :30s and :15s

39. Not Only Are Clear Channel Stations Airing Fewer Commercials, They’re Airing Better Ones Clear Channel Radio Creative Resource Group (CSG) - a new resource for advertising agencies and local stations, assisting them in creating engaging and memorable radio ads, offering creative coaching, online toolkits and ongoing direction in the creation, writing and production of compelling ad spots.

41. Electronic Measurement Means Better Accountability • In June 2005, Clear Channel Radio issued a Request for Proposals to create a state-of-the-art radio ratings system to accurately represent radio’s true performance and value to advertisers. An electronic measurement system would provide a multi-media measurement system including broadcasts carried over the air, by cable, satellite or on the internet. It can also measure audio from “time shifted” devices such as DVRs and ad insertion technologies. • Two markets are currently using electronic measurement (Arbitron’s Personal People Meter – PPM) for radio ratings: Houston and Philadelphia.

Electronic Measurement Implications for Radio • The PPM results in higher daily and multi-week cume for radio, showing radio to be much more of a reach medium than traditionally thought. • Erwin Ephron, father of “recency planning” and partner at media consultancy Ephron, Papazian & Ephron, Inc., notes that “when radio is planned differently, especially with the help of the new Arbitron PPM data, it is an ideal reach medium.” • Using data from Arbitron’s Philadelphia test of the PPM, Ephron showed that “using more stations and days with lower weekly weight per station turns radio into a highly competitive reach medium”.
