Clear Channel Radio (OTCBB:CCMO) 

WHO: Local DC, Hot 99.5 radio personality Kane 

WHEN: Today at 3pm eastern 

WHERE: Press conference at Clear Channel Radio studios at 1801 Rockville Pike,
Rockville, MD and then motorcade to The White House, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue 

We at Clear Channel Radio are big fans of White House Press Secretary Robert
Gibbs - and we want him to have a radio! 

After all, radio played a crucial role in getting Mr. Gibbs his current job. The
Obama campaign outspent all others on radio and ran more ads than any other
campaign. 

And while we realize that government salaries don`t always match those in the
private sector, Clear Channel Radio believes that`s no reason to be without the
most ubiquitous form of media in the country. 

So today, we`re going to help Mr. Gibbs out. At 3pm eastern, Hot 99.5`s Kane
will gather the full range of consumer electronics that receive radio -
including an iPod! - and then travel in the Hot 99.5 station van to deliver them
in care of President Obama at the White House this afternoon. 

We`ll be bringing a portable, desktop, clock, in-dash unit if he owns a car, HD
Radio with iTunes tagging, an FM adapter for his iPod, and the URLs for all his
favorite streaming radio stations. We`ll even help him download Clear Channel`s
iheartradio mobile app to his smart phone! 

Because 230 million people listen to radio each week, and we don`t want Mr.
Gibbs to miss a thing!
