--Electronic Public Inspection System Helps Broadcasters Meet FCC Requirements

Clear Channel Radio today announced the successful implementation of the first and largest deployment in the broadcast industry of an electronic inspection system that ensures and certifies FCC compliance of all public files. Clear Channel Radio's proprietary Electronic Public Inspection File ("E-PIF") system was developed to maintain documents for on-demand, public viewing from all of its main studio locations.

"Every radio station manager knows that protecting the license is their first priority," said Jeff Littlejohn, Executive Vice President of Distribution Development, Clear Channel Radio. "With E-PIF, we now have proven technology that provides an efficient way to support our stations in their review and maintenance of public inspection files for completeness and accuracy. Documents can be added locally or remotely to a station, a market or the entire company with a few clicks and automatic emails remind us of upcoming deadlines."

Surprise FCC audits conducted in Anchorage, Davenport, Denver, Macon, Springfield and Toledo have confirmed E-PIF's proficiency as a replacement to the current Public File. The next phase of the in-house initiative will be to offer the system to non-Clear Channel stations as soon as the third or fourth quarter of 2006. E-PIF will be sold as part of the Viero product suite, LAN International's flagship enterprise technology offering for broadcasters. Clear Channel currently offers six business solutions to the industry, and has begun providing original audio programming to competing radio companies through its Format Lab.

Clear Channel Radio's Electronic Public Inspection File system enables field personnel to manage, contribute and update files stored in the central database over the secure Clear Channel Intranet, using a simple Web-based interface. The public is provided undisturbed access, and the ability to print files from individual kiosk machines located at Clear Channel main studios.
