Clear Channel is one of the biggest owners of stations in the U.S.

There was a Salon article (I think) a few months back describing some of their practices.

I can honestly say the empeg is appealing to me for 2 reasons, and one of those is Clear Channel. When I leave town, I enjoy using the tuner, but when I'm home, the repetition is too much for me, and the mp3 capabilities of the empeg get regular use.
