Clear Channel continues to threaten cyclists
Despite a public outcry following radio segments encouraging motorists to taunt or even strike
cyclists on the road in both Houston, Texas and Cleveland, Ohio, it appears Clear Channel
Communications, owner of radio stations throughout the United States, has not received the message.
Listeners report hearing jokes about running cyclists off the road at a Raleigh, North Carolina
radio station (G105) owned by Clear Channel. The segments, during which DJs shared tales and
suggestions of how to run cyclists off the road, were aired September 22 and 23.
Clear Channel claimed to have taken action with its Cleveland affiliate, and the Houston station was
to run a public service announcement for the Houston Police Department's cycling education efforts.
Nonetheless, a third radio market has deemed it appropriate to advocate violence against cyclists,
to the horror of many listeners, but to the apparent amusement of others.
