sold its stake in SiriusXM
The stock sale netted Clear Channel $135.5 million. CC originally made an $83.1 milluion
investment in XM radio in 1999.

It’s expected that AC “Lite FM”WLTW, New
York , country “The Big 98” WSIX-FM, Nashville
and urban WGCI-FM, Chicago
(107.5) will go off the bird.
Word is
just CHRs Z-100 WHTZ NYC and 102.7 KIIS-FM,
Los Angeles will
remain on the XM platform.
Among the other channels airing Clear Channel content are
the Talk Radio channel, which features hosts like Glenn Beck and Dave Ramsey;
the Extreme Talk channel, with personalities like Todd Schnitt and Bob &
Tom; Fox Sports Radio; and the Sixx Sense channel that features syndicated
nighttime personality and former Motley Crue bass player Nikki Sixx.
