Clear Channel must have decided that iTunes has
infringed enough on the radio industry, so on Tuesday, they're testing free music video downloads. If the service goes
live, the plan is for ad-supported VOD through various radio websites and would complement a strategy to offer
podcasts. Clear Channel owns about 1,200 radio stations across the country and is looking to expand presence on the web
through video and podcast offerings. Clearly,that sounds like a good idea, since we haven't listened to the radio all
that much lately.
those Clear Channel (bad word) cancelled my Video Games Live concert in 2005, for that I will never forgive them.
Clear Channel is being sued by the City of Mountain View in the San Francisco area for racketeering and hiding revenue (which deprived Mountain View of $ millions owed to it by Clear Channel), and the case is going to court after Clear Channel tried to get it thrown out. Clear Channel are scum.
If it's not iPod compatible I will pass.
I can't see any mention of downloadable videos in TFA - if it's just VOD then I can't see this as being any different to what's on offer already from AOL Music, Yahoo Launch, MTV etc etc etc.
Forget it, it is in M$ format. Wheres the OGG Man.
Forget it, it is in M$ format. That crap does not play well on my APPLE. Wheres the OGG, Man?
With any luck this is the beginning of the sputtering death throes of Clear Channel. Honestly, the more you know about this company the more you hate it.
