Clear Channel Uses Pirate Radio Tactics to Promote New Station

cc_logo_09394750345.gif

Stay Free reports Clear Channel Radio (as initially determined through Whois registration and copied here) is behind a fake pirate radio station website in Ohio on which, for the past week, the practices of Clear Channel itself have been mocked. According to those that visited, the site contained content as well as discussion boards. Though upon visiting the site today, the site simply says, “The radio revolution begins Tuesday May 31st. Stay Tuned.” Even Whois info seems to, somehow, have been changed removing all reference to Clear Channel. It seems Clear Channel has hastily cleared it’s path of all detection.

The site is said to be a promotion for a format change for one of Clear Channel’s Akron Ohio stations. According to those in the area, other station broadcasts in the area, on Clear Channel stations, have been interrupted with cryptic promotional messages. More discussion and details here.
