Long-time Media broadcaster Clear Channel is trying to make the leap to the iPhone, according to a recent press release.

Clear Channel Radio

The San Antonio-based radio giant launched iheartradio, a free to download application for the iPhone and iPod Touch that will give listeners access to Clear Channel’s 1,100 radio stations, even if they’re scheduled to be added 3-5 stations at a time over the next little while.

The move comes amid what Jim Kerr, vice president for digital development with the Pollack Media Group, calls a




“rush into the iPhone app space.”, which is quite accurate.

Clear Channel Radio brings its traditional content — well-worn songs and all the commercials in between — to a device already crowded with applications enabling Internet radio listening. Existing applications like FlyCast and RadioTime offer broad selections of terrestrial and Internet radio stations. FlyCast is free, while RadioTime costs $5.99.

Even with all the competition, Kerr thinks it’s not too late for Clear Channel to get into the iPhone app game. We’ll see how this shakes out.
