Premiere Radio Networks Online: all about Premiere Radio Networks
Description
Van Nuys based Premiere Radio Networks is an organization that has considerable influence on what we hear via AM radio. Premiere syndicates over 60 radio programs to more than 7000 affiliates. The major source of revenue for Premiere comes through advertising. The CEO is Kraig Kitchins and the VP of Interactive Media is Brian Glicklich. Premiere Radio Networks is owned by Clear Channel Communications. Clear Channel has an agenda and the programming distributed by shows on Premiere such as Rush does reflect this.
Clear Channel Communications raked in about 2billion dollars in revenue last year. They are a media conglomerate that controls radio programming, concert promotion and billboard advertising. Clear Channel has been a major player in dismantling regulations that protect the public from media being controlled by only a small handful of players. Clear Channel controls 1225 radio stations in 300 cities and dominates the audience share in 100 of 112 major markets. The business practices of Clear Channel are quite suspect.
There are accusations that Clear Channel uses its control of radio to strong-arm support for its live concerts. This tactic is known as "negative synergy" and it involves the threat of removing music from on-air rotation if the performer doesn't use Clear Channel venues. Clear Channel now owns, operates, or exclusively books the vast majority of amphitheaters, arenas, and clubs in the country. It also controls the most powerful promoters, who last year sold 27 million concert tickets. That is 23 million more than the closest competitor.
