You won't have heard of the two media companies - HC2 Broadcasting and iHeartMedia
Well, that may be true in Merry Old(e), but many of us on this benighted side of the pond have heard of iHeartMedia...but maybe not by that name. iHeartMedia is the corporate shell for iHeartRadio...formerly known as ClearChannel. ClearChannel bought literally thousands of radio stations, both big and small, to try to monopolize and homogenize radio nation wide. They are the reason one can hear such intellectual luminaries as Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, and of course, Mr. Oxy himself, Rush Limburger Limbaugh, on anywhere from 2 to 6 radio stations per day in any of the top 100 radio markets nationwide.
iHeartMedia is the result of restructuring ClearChannel after their bankruptcy in 2016. Ironic, ain't it?
