Fritts: NAB is Not Run by Clear Channel

NAB President/CEO Eddie Fritts termed Sen. John McCain’s comment during a hearing on radio consolidation Tuesday “tongue-in-cheek.” Her was referring to McCain’s aside that NAB was a “subsidiary” of Clear Channel.
Fritts told reporters NAB hasn’t discussed the quip or anything else with the radio group. To set the record straight, he pointed out that of NAB’s 35 radio board members, Clear Channel has two seats, no seats on the TV board, nor on the executive committee.
