Clear Channel Communications Inc., the nation’s largest radio station operator, has picked Fox News Radio to be the primary source of national news for most of its news and talk stations, officials announced Monday.
The five-year agreement initially covers more than 100 radio stations.
Fox will provide a five-minute top-of-the-hour newscast, a nightly news broadcast and round-the-clock national news coverage. In return, Fox News Radio will have access to news produced by San Antonio-based Clear Channel’s news network.
No terms of the deal were disclosed. But Fox, a unit of News Corp., says if all options in the agreement are exercised, its radio service could have more than 500 affiliates by the middle of next year.
Clear Channel, which operates 1,200 stations, has been getting its national news feeds from a variety of providers.
