Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special counsel to Clear Channel Communications, Inc., a Texas
corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the registration, pursuant to a
registration statement on Form S-3, as amended, registration number 333-76942
(the "Registration Statement") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of the offering and sale by
the Company of $300,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Company's
4.625% Senior Notes due 2008 and $500,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of
the Company's 5.75% Senior Notes due 2013 (together, the "Notes") to be issued
under an indenture dated as of October 1, 1997, between the Company and the Bank
of New York, as trustee, as amended by the Eleventh Supplemental Indenture dated
as of January 9, 2003 (as so amended, the "Indenture") and sold pursuant to the
terms of an underwriting agreement (the "Underwriting Agreement") dated January
6, 2003, between the Company and each of the underwriters (the "Underwriters")
listed in Schedule II of the Underwriting Agreement.

We have, as counsel, examined such corporate records, certificates and other
documents and reviewed such questions of law as we have deemed necessary,
relevant or appropriate to enable us to render the opinions expressed below. In
rendering such opinions, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures and
the authenticity of all documents examined by us. As to various questions of
fact material to such opinions, we have relied upon representations of the
Company.

Based upon such examination and representations, we advise you that, in our
opinion the Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered, and
constitutes a legal, valid and binding instrument enforceable against the
Company in accordance with its terms (subject, as to enforcement of remedies, to
applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance or
transfer, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors' rights generally from
time to time in effect); and the Notes have been duly authorized and, when
executed and authenticated in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture
and delivered to and paid for by the Underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting
Agreement, will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company
entitled to the benefits of the Indenture (subject, as to enforcement of
remedies, to applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, fraudulent
conveyance or transfer, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors' rights
generally from time to time in effect).

We are members of the Bar of the State of Texas and the State of New York and
the foregoing opinion is limited to the laws of the State of Texas, the State of
New York, and the federal laws of the United States of America.




We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement. In addition, we consent to the reference to us under the
caption "Legal Opinions" in the prospectus and any prospectus supplement
relating thereto.

This opinion is rendered solely to you in connection with the above matter. This
opinion may not be relied upon by you for any other purpose or relied upon by or
furnished to any other person without our prior written consent. Very truly
yours,
