 A stocking-stuffer's view
of Clear Channel Television
There's a little something for everyone in the grab bag that is the Clear Channel Television Group, now on the market just in time for the 2006 gift-giving season. Are you interested in market size? It runs from #5 to #202 with few significant gaps. Are you looking for a specific network affiliation? There are seven allied with Fox, seven with NBC, seven with CW, six with ABC, six with CBS, four with MyNetworkTV and two with Telemundo. Do you hate networks? There are three independents. Are you looking for unique or alternative delivery platforms? Three of the stations are LMA'd, five are LPTV/Class A's, two are multicast off the digital signal and one is cable-only. There are full-power duopolies available in Salt Lake City, Memphis, Jacksonville, Little Rock, Tulsa and Mobile-Pensacola, with three more de facto duopolies via LMA in Harrisburg, Wichita and Monterey-Salinas, and many other multiple streams utilizing the alternative delivery methods. In all, we count 42 program streams in 26 markets. Maybe one or more of them would be just the thing for that tough person on your shopping list who already has everything, except perhaps a full-power NBC affiliate in Eugene OR. If there is somebody like this on your list, then
