FCC TO BE ACQUIRED BY CLEAR CHANNEL

WASHINGTON-- The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced
today that it has agreed to be acquired by Clear Channel Communications
(CCU) of San Antonio, Texas.

In announcing the deal, FCC Chairman Michael Powell said "This transaction
will greatly expedite the demise of the antiquated concept of local
ownership of media outlets. Critics of deals such as this need to understand
that Clear Channel embodies all that is good and decent in the broadcast
industry, and anyone that believes otherwise clearly isn't listening to the
news."

In a statement issued today, Clear Channel CEO Lowry Mays said "This
acquisition is a perfect strategic fit for Clear Channel. The FCC has been a
wonderful business partner for the past several years, and has carried out
our directions with great enthusiasm. We are proud to welcome the FCC into
the Clear Channel family of companies."

Although terms of the deal were not immediately available, It is said that
the acquisition will include all components, operating units and assets of
the FCC, except for its soul, which was sold in a prior transaction to
Satan, Inc. in 1996.
