SAN ANTONIO, TX (JULY, 2002) - Lowry Mays, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
of Clear Channel Communications, Inc. announced today that Randy Michaels,
currently CEO of Clear Channel Radio, will immediately head up the New
Technologies Division of Clear Channel. In this new role Randy will be focused
on the changing technological landscape including interactive, wireless
broadband and satellite technologies.

Mark Mays, President and Chief Operating Officer of Clear Channel Communications
said, "Randy has been, and continues to be, a great contributor to Clear
Channel. Without his vision and foresight we would not have been able to develop
the best, most well positioned, unduplicatable collection of radio stations in
the world. Randy's greatest strength is his ability to see how the radio
industry will evolve long before it does. In his new role, Randy will be able to
utilize this strength to enable us to react better to the advent of new
technologies and their impact on the Company."

Randy Michaels, CEO of Clear Channel New Technologies, said, "I am excited about
the opportunity to once again look out in to the future and help shape the way
we will adapt to it. I enjoy the challenge and stimulation of breaking new
ground and look forward to this newly created position."

Mark Mays will assume the position of Acting CEO of Clear Channel Radio. John
Hogan will continue in his position as Chief Operating Officer of Clear Channel
Radio. Mr. Hogan added, "The Radio group will miss the presence of Randy's
passion and his great sense of humor. Fortunately, Clear Channel Radio has
tremendous strength throughout its management ranks. I am confident that our
over 300 general managers along with our talented group of 12 senior vice
presidents will not miss a beat and will continue with their industry leading
performance."
