mothboy88 Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 From an article in The Stranger: In Denver, Clear Channel owns more than radio bandwidth. In addition to eight stations, the company owns a popular 3,000-seat music venue called the Fillmore Auditorium that works with Clear Channel's $2.6 billion promotion subsidiary, Clear Channel Entertainment, to promote midsize shows by the likes of Ludacris, the Strokes, and Belle & Sebastian. Word is, Clear Channel wants to replicate that model in Seattle--owning radio stations, promo companies, and venues--by locating a 5,000-square-foot downtown space for a club like the Fillmore here. (It would be the next logical step for Clear Channel in Seattle, since Clear Channel Entertainment and a block of five Clear Channel radio stations, including popular KUBE 93, are already in place.) More impact from FCC deregulation of radio media in the 90s. I am afraid that before too long it will be hard to hear any music on the radio or at a show that hasn't been deemed palatable by some 13 year old in a test market booth at the Northgate mall. link to article here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
