IB tease: Pittman

CLEAR SAILING: Clear Channel’s Bob Pittman made the streaming-rate deal with Warner Music’s Rob Wiesenthal, announced last week, which could save CC tens of millions in the long haul, notes our own I.B. Bad in his latest column. The WMG deal, I.B. continues, was part of a big week for the radio giant, which capped things off with the third edition of the iHeartRadio Music Festival, cementing the iHeart brand and setting the stage for its further expansion via a country fest, TV show and music player.
