Securities Investigation – iHeart Media – Clear Channel Communications

According to reports today, iHeartMedia, one of the world’s largest radio companies, is seeking bankruptcy protection as part of an agreement with its lenders to reduce debt it took on to become a privately held company.

The company says it plans to operate its businesses as usual while it restructures its finances under Chapter 11 protection to reduce debt by more than $10 billion.

iHeartMedia, formerly known as Clear Channel Communications,
is based in San Antonio, Texas. The company operates 858 broadcast radio stations in more than 150 markets around the U.S. It also presents large live events such as the iHeartRadio Music awards.

Although the company has a popular music streaming app, iHeartRadio, it faces tough competition from Spotify, Apple Music and other online streaming services.
