"CC" = "Clear Channel"

Now that Clear Channel is selling ad time on the new Indie 103.1, one of the radio station's first advertisers just happens to be... Clear Channel.

Not that it's too much of a surprise. Clear Channel Entertainment is pretty much the only major concert promoter left; as many artists have found out, it's kinda hard to avoid being promoted by the behemoth. Spots on Indie 103.1, for example, are pushing the upcoming Travis show in L.A.

What I find amusing is how Clear Channel Entertainment -- clearly aware that its name elicits a negative reaction from many a music fan -- has taken to calling itself "CC Entertainment." That's right -- the spots for Travis never mention "Clear Channel," but instead refer to it as a "CC" show. Hmm.
