Eighty-one AC, top 40 and CHR Clear Channel stations in 84 markets are taking part in the Radio Star contest, launched by Clear Channel Radio and Epic Records to offer a national platform for local artists to showcase their talent.
Clear Channel client Wrigley’s Wintergreen gum is sponsoring the contest, and pop singer Hilary Duff was tapped along with Z100(FM)’s Elvis Duran to host “The Radio Show,” a national radio program showcasing quarter- and semi-finalists. Music executives from Epic Records and Premiere Radio Networks, owned by Clear Channel will serve as judges.
