As the Federal Communications Commission mulls new “localism” initiatives for broadcasters, Clear Channel Radio has made a preemptive move by announcing Wednesday (April 15) an expanded local community affairs policy for its stations.

The renewed commitment includes expanded charitable partnerships, increased airing of public-service announcements, more local public-affairs programming in better dayparts, the creation of local advisory boards and 24/7 access to station management for local officials.
