Clear Channel has made it evident many times over the years that it's not in the business of music or news. No, it's in the business of consumer marketing. If Clear Channel's attempt at a web radio service can't sell the masses cars, beer, and fast food while still doing nothing to compete with its regular programing, it will fail.
