Cumulus, Clear Channel Join Forces

CUMULUS HEARTS RADIO: Cumulus Media and Clear Channel Radio have entered into an agreement in which 570 of the former’s radio stations in 120 markets will be available on the new iHeartRadio platform on the web, mobile devices and in automobiles. As part of the arrangement, Clear Channel Radio will also advertise daily deals from Cumulus’ Sweetjack, their version of Groupon, which provides consumer deals that offer local merchants—including restaurants, spas, salons, stores and venues—the promotional power of radio combined with the Internet.
