Exhibit 99.1

Clear Channel Sets Purchase Price in Tender Offer and
Consent Solicitation for AMFM Senior Notes

San Antonio, TX, July 28, 2008 — In connection with Clear Channel Communications, Inc.’s (“Clear Channel”) previously announced tender offer for its subsidiary AMFM Operating Inc.’s (“AMFM”) outstanding 8% Senior Notes due 2008 (CUSIP No. 158916AL0) (the “Notes”), Clear Channel announced today the total consideration to be paid for the Notes that are validly tendered and accepted for purchase under the tender offer.

The total consideration to be paid for validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) Notes was determined using the yield of the 4.875% U.S. Treasury Notes due October 31, 2008 (the “Reference Security”) plus a fixed spread of 75 basis points. The yield on the Reference Security, as calculated by Citi, at 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on Monday, July 28, 2008, was 1.661%. Accordingly, the tender offer yield and total consideration, excluding accrued and unpaid interest but including the consent payment, per $1,000 principal amount of Notes are 2.411% and $1,013.92 respectively. AMFM currently expects to make payment for the Notes on July 30, 2008, and the total consideration paid to validly tendering holders will reflect the actual date of payment.

As of 5:00 p.m. on July 28, 2008, AMFM had received tenders with respect to approximately $639 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes (approximately 99% of the total outstanding principal amount of the Notes).

The date on which the tender offer is scheduled to expire (the “Offer Expiration Date”) is currently scheduled for 8:00 a.m. New York City time on July 30, 2008 and the consent payment deadline for the Notes (the “Consent Payment Deadline”) is currently scheduled for 8:00 a.m. New York City time on July 30, 2008. Each of the Offer Expiration Date and the Consent Payment Deadline is subject to extension or earlier termination by AMFM in its sole discretion.

The tender offer and consent solicitation is being made pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the AMFM Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement for the Notes dated December 17, 2007, and the related Letter of Transmittal and Consent. Further details about the terms and conditions of the tender offer and consent solicitation are set forth therein.

The tender offer and consent solicitation is being made in connection with the previously announced merger (the “Merger”) with BT Triple Crown Merger Co., Inc. The closing of the Merger is scheduled to occur on July 30, 2008. AMFM intends to complete the tender offer and consent solicitation for the Notes upon consummation of the Merger. The completion of the Merger and the related debt financings are not subject to, or conditioned upon, the completion of the tender offer or the related consent solicitation or the adoption of the proposed amendments with respect to the Notes.

Clear Channel has retained Citi to act as the lead dealer manager for the tender offer and lead solicitation agent for the consent solicitation and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated to act as co-dealer managers for the tender offer and co-solicitation agent for the consent solicitation. Global Bondholder Services Corporation is the Information
