Clear Channel aims to broadcast on cell phones

Clear Channel Communications intends to begin offering some of its radio programs to cell phones this year. Clear Channel is the largest owner of radio stations in the US, reports Reuters via Mobile Tracker.

"We're talking to a lot of (U.S.) cell phone providers," Clear Channel Radio Chief Executive Officer John Hogan told Reuters in an interview.

The San Antonio, Texas, company said it plans to let U.S. cell phone users download or access originally produced radio programs as early as the end of this year.

The talks are part of a company objective to modernize the traditional radio business by finding new distribution outlets for its programming."
