"Clear Channel Radio Now Broadcasting 340+ HD Stations Compatible with
iTunes Tagging"

"Clear Channel Radio originally announced last September its
intentions to offer broadcasts compatible with Apple's implementation
of the HD Radio tagging feature. Currently, the company offers over
440 HD stations and more than 340 HD2 stations. It's Format Lab, with
an army of over 200 programmers, was implemented to create new and
niche formats and can be sampled at clearchannelmusic.com/formatlab."


ASCAP fees are revenue based. HD broadcasts are treated the same as analog
broadcasts by the composers and authors rights societies, ASCAP, SESAC, BMI
and ASEMLA.
