CLEAR CHANNEL COMMUNICATIONS' Board of Directors has authorized an additional share buyback plan to buy $1 billion more of its common stock over the next 12 months. The move is in addition to the mostly completed previous $600 million buyback ($582 million repurchased to date).

Today's announcement is a reflection of our Board's confidence in the Company's financial strength and our overall commitment to our shareholders.
