SAN ANTONIO - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Clear Channel Radio, the leading media company in America with a greater reach than any other radio or television company, today announced that five of its industry-leading radio stations, covering five different formats, began simulcasting on the XM satellite radio service beginning today at 12:01 a.m. The stations include:

  • KIIS-FM, a Top 40 station based in Los Angeles, CA is now simulcasting on XM Channel 11;
  • Z100, the nation's largest CHR/Top 40 station based in New York City, is now simulcasting on XM Channel 12;

  • WGCI in Chicago, an urban station, is now simulcasting on XM Channel 163.

"Clear Channel's goal is to be wherever our listeners are with the content they want and expect, and that includes offering our top stations and formats on the satellite platform," said John Hogan, President and CEO of Clear Channel Radio.

Now we can extend them to listeners who tune in via XM satellite radio."
