Mitt Romney's VC Firm to Buy Clear Channel
Posted by Chris Brunner at December 14, 2007 10:25 AM
What would it cost to buy the support of just about every nationally syndicated neocon talk show host in America? About $19.5 billion, which is what Mitt Romney's private equity firm, Bain Capital, and Thomas H. Lee Partners have agreed to pay in a leveraged buyout agreement with Clear Channel Communications, the largest radio station owner in the country. This is part of a negotiation that has been pending for over a year.
Clear Channel owns more than 1,100 full-power AM, FM, and shortwave radio stations, twelve radio channels on XM Satellite Radio, and more than 30 television stations in the United States. Premiere Radio Networks, which is the largest syndication company in the United States, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Clear Channel and is home to Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, and many others. Sean Hannity recently signed a large multi-market contract with Clear Channel, as well.
So, lets kill off the only public broadcasting non profit there is, we don't need that commie crap.-

Mic 92.1 FM, WXXM-FM is owned by Clearchannel and is about as liberal as you can get. It's also the largest loss leader for them. In Communist Madison, you can't find advertisers willing to spend a dime. That may also be because they're also dead last in the ratings. While I understand you think the rich, wealthy or the guy with even less than you should give it up, commercial radio stations need to make money. No money, no station.

BTW-If they did switch to the conservative side, their sales and profits would be great.-
