iHeartMedia is America's primary monopoly of digital radio, based in San Antonio, Texas. It was known as Clear Channel before being rebranded in 2014, now with renewed focus on online mainstream radio, such as iHeartRadio. iHeartMedia, like its predecessor Clear Channel, owns most terrestrial radio stations (AM and FM) in the United States and it is difficult for independent radio to compete alongside the monopoly.
iHeartMedia, the Mr Burns of radio.
