--Clear Channel Radio's New Marketing Campaign Brings the Test Drive Experience On-Air and Online, Driving Listeners to Dealerships

Clear Channel Radio today announced a new marketing campaign called "Test Drive Wednesdays" designed to assist buyers in their next automotive purchase. The campaign kicks off in Phoenix with both online and on-air components encouraging test drivers to visit a local Buick/Pontiac/GMC Dealer Group, and to record their experiences.

"With consumers buying habits continually evolving, Clear Channel Radio continues to present innovative concepts to advertisers," said Joe Puglise, Market Manager of Clear Channel Radio Phoenix. "We are capturing listeners on-air and online, and getting them behind the wheel of some exciting new models available from our automotive customer."

Driving excitement

Each week, 8-12 listeners of Clear Channel Radio's eight stations in Phoenix are selected to test drive new vehicles accompanied by an on-air station personality and a producer who record the experience. Listeners can then hear this feedback on the radio, or they can access it online on Clear Channel Radio station Web sites accompanied by dealer-specific links. The reviews provided through Clear Channel Radio's dual-distribution platforms generate both interest and information of value to listeners and advertisers.

"We are excited to be partnering with Clear Channel Radio and its Online unit on this unique advertising campaign," said Chuck MacGregor, Buick/Pontiac/GMC Zone Manager. "The initial response to 'Test Drive Wednesdays' has been impressive and has given us a new and progressive way to connect with consumers," added Henry Brown, Dealer, Henry Brown Buick Pontiac-GMC, Mesa, Arizona.

With almost half of car purchases occurring over the weekend, according to Capgemini Cars Online statistics from May 2006, "Test Drive Wednesdays" reaches consumers mid-week, the pivotal point in their online search for a new vehicle. "Test Drive Wednesdays" can be heard on all Clear Channel Phoenix stations including, KESZ-FM, KFYI-AM, KNIX-FM, KMXP-FM, KOYT-FM, KOY-AM, KZZP-FM and KGME-AM.
