Clear Channel CEO is a man named Lowery Mays.He is a huge supporter and major campaign contributor to George Bush.they are old family friends.
Of course others can compete. All competitors need to do in order to succeed, is give a large enough audience what they want! Success is based upon consumer response. Clear channel gives the majority of listeners in its service areas exactly what they want. That's why they are successful. They are a well-run business that has learned to give the public what they want. If they didn't, people would tune them out and tune someone else in. Perhaps their competitors lack the programming needed to attract a large audience. For music, I listen to online radio. In my opinion, it can't be beat. If I want a good talk show (which is rare), I'll tune in clear channel.
