                 CLEAR CHANNEL REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2004 RESULTS
SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS OCTOBER 29, 2004...Clear Channel Communications, Inc. (NYSE:
CCU) today reported results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2004.
The Company reported revenues of $2.6 billion in the third quarter of 2004, a 4%
increase over the $2.5 billion reported for the third quarter of 2003. Clear
Channel’s net income and diluted earnings per share were $261.2 million and
$0.44 per diluted share during the third quarter of 2004.
The Company’s third quarter 2003 net income included approximately $685.6
million of pre-tax gains, $0.66 per diluted share after tax, related to the
Company’s investment in Univision Communications, Inc. and the sale of an
investment in American Tower Corporation. These gains were offset by the
impairment of certain investments totaling $15.0 million pre-tax, $0.01 per
diluted share after tax. Excluding these items, 2003 third quarter net income
would have been $236.8 million or $0.38 per diluted share and the Company’s
third quarter 2004 net income and diluted earnings per share growth would have
been 10% and 16%, respectively.
Mark Mays, President and Chief Executive Officer said, quot;We delivered strong
financial results during what proved to be a very challenging quarter. We
generated 16% earnings growth and produced a significant amount of free cash
flow during the quarter. We continued repurchasing our shares during the past
quarter and continue to believe that the purchase of our common stock represents
an attractive opportunity to benefit the long-term interests of the Company and
its shareholders. We are in excellent position to increase shareholder value
over the long-term.quot;

RADIO BROADCASTING
The Company’s radio broadcasting revenue decreased $3.6 million to $960.1
million during the three months ended September 30, 2004 as compared to the same
quarter of 2003. The decrease in revenue was led by a decline in national
advertising, partially offset by increases in local advertising, as well as
traffic and network revenues. The decline in national revenue was primarily due
to weakness in automotive and telecom advertising. The Company generated revenue
growth during the quarter in its small to mid-size markets, which it defines as
markets outside the top 25. This growth was offset by a revenue decline in the
Company’s large markets.
Divisional operating expenses increased $1.7 million to $538.2 million during
the three months ended September 30, 2004 as compared to the same quarter of
2003. The primary driver of the increase was advertising and promotional
expenses, which was partially offset by declines in sales related expenses.
OUTDOOR ADVERTISING
The Company’s outdoor advertising revenue increased $60.1 million to $600.2
million during the three months ended September 30, 2004 as compared to the same
quarter of 2003. Domestic revenue growth came from bulletin and poster sales as
well as airport advertising, while international revenue growth was paced by an
increase in street furniture revenues. For the three months ended September 30,
2004, revenue included increases of approximately $26.1 million resulting from
movements in foreign exchange rates.
The increase in bulletin revenues was primarily attributable to an increase in
rate, while both rate and occupancy on the Company’s poster inventory were up
for the quarter. Domestically, revenue growth occurred across a wide range of
markets, with the strongest growth coming from such markets as San Francisco,
San Antonio, Seattle, Tampa and Phoenix. Strong domestic advertising categories
for the third quarter included automotive, telecom, retail and business and
consumer services. The increase in international street furniture revenues was
driven by growth in both the number of displays and revenue per display as
compared to the same quarter of the prior year. Ireland, Australia/New Zealand,
Italy and Latin America were some of the stronger performing international
regions during the quarter; however, their performance was tempered by billboard
revenues in the U.K. and France.
Divisional operating expenses increased $40.4 million to $431.4 million during
the three months ended September 30, 2004 as compared to the same quarter of
2003. The increase includes approximately $22.8 million from fluctuations in
foreign exchange rates. The remainder of the increase is primarily attributable
to an increase in site lease expenses associated with percentage of revenue
sharing lease agreements.
LIVE ENTERTAINMENT
The Company’s live entertainment revenue increased $38.5 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2004 as compared to the same quarter of 2003. The
revenue growth during the quarter was attributed to strong international
promotion business and the timing of events. Also contributing to the increase
was growth in sponsorship revenues. This was partially offset by a decline in
the number of events and attendance at the Company’s amphitheaters principally
from show cancellations. Revenue includes increases of approximately $23.8
million resulting from movements in foreign exchange rates during the three
months ended September 30, 2004.
Divisional operating expenses increased $44.2 million during the three months
ended September 30, 2004 as compared to the same period of 2003. Driving the
increase was talent costs, primarily from higher artist guarantees and
production costs in the current quarter compared to the third quarter of 2003.
The increase includes approximately $21.9 million from fluctuations in foreign
exchange rates.

                                                                                 2

maturing during 2004. The Company may utilize existing capacity under its bank
facilities and other available funds for general working capital purposes
including commercial paper support as well as to fund capital expenditures,
acquisitions, stock repurchases and the refinancing of certain public debt
securities. Redemptions or repurchases of securities will occur through open
market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or other means.
BUSINESS OUTLOOK
The Company currently expects that operating income will increase in the
mid-single digits on a percentage basis and earnings per share will increase in
the mid to high teens on a percentage basis for the full year of 2004. Earnings
per share guidance excludes gains from the sale of investments and operating
assets, and the effects of early extinguishment of debt.

The Company’s 2003 net income included approximately $685.6 million of pre-tax
gains, $0.66 per diluted share after tax, related to the Company’s investment in
Univision Communications, Inc. and the sale of an investment in American Tower
Corporation. These gains were offset by the impairment of certain investments
totaling $15.0 million pre-tax, $0.01 per diluted share after tax. Excluding
these items, 2003 net income would have been $236.8 million or $0.38 per diluted
share and the Company’s third quarter 2004 net income and diluted earnings per
share growth would have been 10% and 16%, respectively.
The Company’s 2003 current tax expense includes $119.7 million of tax related to
gains on the sale of the Company’s investments in Univision and American Tower.
The Company’s 2004 current tax expense includes a benefit of $18.1 million
related to the resolution of a tax issue. The benefit resulted in an effective
tax rate of 36.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2004.

         SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURE REGARDING NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION
OPERATING INCOME BEFORE DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION (D&A) AND NON-CASH
COMPENSATION EXPENSE
The following tables set forth Clear Channel’s Operating Income, D&A and
Non-cash compensation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2004 and
2003. The Company defines quot;Operating Income before D&A and Non-cash compensation
expensequot; as net income adjusted to exclude the following line items presented in
its Statement of Operations: Income tax benefit (expense); Other income
(expense) - net; Equity in earnings of nonconsolidated affiliates; Gain (loss)
on marketable securities; Interest expense; D&A; and, Non-cash compensation
expense.
The Company uses Operating Income before D&A and Non-cash compensation expense,
among other things, to evaluate the Company’s operating performance. This
measure is among the primary measures used by management for planning and
forecasting of future periods, as well as for measuring performance for
compensation of executives and other members of management. This measure is an
important indicator of the Company’s operational strength and performance of its
business because it provides a link between profitability and cash flows from
operating activities. It is also a primary measure used by management in
evaluating companies as potential acquisition targets.
The Company believes the presentation of this measure is relevant and useful for
investors because it allows investors to view performance in a manner similar to
the method used by the Company’s management. It helps improve investors’ ability
to understand the Company’s operating performance and makes it easier to compare
the Company’s results with other companies that have different capital
structures or tax rates. In addition, this measure is also among the primary
measures used externally by the Company’s investors, analysts and peers in its
industry for purposes of valuation and comparing the operating performance of
the Company to other companies in its industry. Additionally, the Company’s bank
credit facilities use this measure for compliance with leverage covenants.
Since Operating Income before D&A and Non-cash compensation expense is not a
measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, it should not be considered in
isolation of, or as a substitute for, net income as an indicator of operating
performance and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by
other companies. Operating Income, D&A and Non-cash compensation expense are all
financial statement line items included on the Company’s statement of earnings.
Operating Income before D&A and Non-cash compensation expense is not necessarily
a measure of the Company’s ability to fund its cash needs. As it excludes
certain financial information compared with operating income and net income
(loss), the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, users of this
financial information should consider the types of events and transactions,
which are excluded.
As required by the SEC, the Company provides reconciliations below of Operating
Income before D&A and Non-cash compensation expense for each segment to such
segment’s operating income, and Operating Income before D&A and Non-cash
compensation expense to net income, the most directly comparable amounts
reported under GAAP.

  • 7. <PAGE> 1 EXHIBIT 99.1 CLEAR CHANNEL REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2004 RESULTS SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS OCTOBER 29, 2004...Clear Channel Communications, Inc. (NYSE: CCU) today reported results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2004. The Company reported revenues of $2.6 billion in the third quarter of 2004, a 4% increase over the $2.5 billion reported for the third quarter of 2003. Clear Channel’s net income and diluted earnings per share were $261.2 million and $0.44 per diluted share during the third quarter of 2004. The Company’s third quarter 2003 net income included approximately $685.6 million of pre-tax gains, $0.66 per diluted share after tax, related to the Company’s investment in Univision Communications, Inc. and the sale of an investment in American Tower Corporation. These gains were offset by the impairment of certain investments totaling $15.0 million pre-tax, $0.01 per diluted share after tax. Excluding these items, 2003 third quarter net income would have been $236.8 million or $0.38 per diluted share and the Company’s third quarter 2004 net income and diluted earnings per share growth would have been 10% and 16%, respectively. Mark Mays, President and Chief Executive Officer said, quot;We delivered strong financial results during what proved to be a very challenging quarter. We generated 16% earnings growth and produced a significant amount of free cash flow during the quarter. We continued repurchasing our shares during the past quarter and continue to believe that the purchase of our common stock represents an attractive opportunity to benefit the long-term interests of the Company and its shareholders. We are in excellent position to increase shareholder value over the long-term.quot; REVENUE AND DIVISIONAL OPERATING EXPENSES <Table> <Caption> Three Months Ended (In thousands) September 30, % ---------------------------- 2004 2003 Change ----------- ----------- ------ <S> <C> <C> <C> Revenue Radio Broadcasting $ 960,066 $ 963,635 0% Outdoor Advertising 600,166 540,089 11% Live Entertainment 974,675 936,213 4% Other 147,313 139,238 6% Eliminations (33,347) (35,029) ----------- ----------- CONSOLIDATED REVENUE $ 2,648,873 $ 2,544,146 4% =========== =========== Divisional operating expenses Radio Broadcasting $ 538,179 $ 536,495 0% Outdoor Advertising 431,383 391,004 10% Live Entertainment 883,645 839,402 5% Other 117,334 110,457 6% Eliminations (33,347) (35,029) ----------- ----------- CONSOLIDATED DIVISIONAL OPERATING EXPENSES $ 1,937,194 $ 1,842,329 5% =========== =========== </Table> Included in the Company’s third quarter 2004 revenue and operating expenses are approximately $49.9 million and $44.7 million, respectively, of foreign exchange increases compared to the same period of 2003. 1
  • 8. <PAGE> 2 RADIO BROADCASTING The Company’s radio broadcasting revenue decreased $3.6 million to $960.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2004 as compared to the same quarter of 2003. The decrease in revenue was led by a decline in national advertising, partially offset by increases in local advertising, as well as traffic and network revenues. The decline in national revenue was primarily due to weakness in automotive and telecom advertising. The Company generated revenue growth during the quarter in its small to mid-size markets, which it defines as markets outside the top 25. This growth was offset by a revenue decline in the Company’s large markets. Divisional operating expenses increased $1.7 million to $538.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2004 as compared to the same quarter of 2003. The primary driver of the increase was advertising and promotional expenses, which was partially offset by declines in sales related expenses. OUTDOOR ADVERTISING The Company’s outdoor advertising revenue increased $60.1 million to $600.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2004 as compared to the same quarter of 2003. Domestic revenue growth came from bulletin and poster sales as well as airport advertising, while international revenue growth was paced by an increase in street furniture revenues. For the three months ended September 30, 2004, revenue included increases of approximately $26.1 million resulting from movements in foreign exchange rates. The increase in bulletin revenues was primarily attributable to an increase in rate, while both rate and occupancy on the Company’s poster inventory were up for the quarter. Domestically, revenue growth occurred across a wide range of markets, with the strongest growth coming from such markets as San Francisco, San Antonio, Seattle, Tampa and Phoenix. Strong domestic advertising categories for the third quarter included automotive, telecom, retail and business and consumer services. The increase in international street furniture revenues was driven by growth in both the number of displays and revenue per display as compared to the same quarter of the prior year. Ireland, Australia/New Zealand, Italy and Latin America were some of the stronger performing international regions during the quarter; however, their performance was tempered by billboard revenues in the U.K. and France. Divisional operating expenses increased $40.4 million to $431.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2004 as compared to the same quarter of 2003. The increase includes approximately $22.8 million from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The remainder of the increase is primarily attributable to an increase in site lease expenses associated with percentage of revenue sharing lease agreements. LIVE ENTERTAINMENT The Company’s live entertainment revenue increased $38.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004 as compared to the same quarter of 2003. The revenue growth during the quarter was attributed to strong international promotion business and the timing of events. Also contributing to the increase was growth in sponsorship revenues. This was partially offset by a decline in the number of events and attendance at the Company’s amphitheaters principally from show cancellations. Revenue includes increases of approximately $23.8 million resulting from movements in foreign exchange rates during the three months ended September 30, 2004. Divisional operating expenses increased $44.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2004 as compared to the same period of 2003. Driving the increase was talent costs, primarily from higher artist guarantees and production costs in the current quarter compared to the third quarter of 2003. The increase includes approximately $21.9 million from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. 2

  • 10. <PAGE> 4 Randall Mays, Chief Financial Officer for the Company, said, quot;We have repurchased 45.0 million shares to date for a total of $1.6 billion, which represents just over 7% of our total shares outstanding. We continue to believe that this is the best use of our free cash flow, while maintaining a strong balance sheet. quot; As of September 30, 2004, 70% of the Company’s debt bears interest at fixed rates and 30% of the Company’s debt bears interest at floating rates based upon LIBOR. The Company’s weighted average cost of debt at September 30, 2004 was 5.2%. As of October 29, 2004, Clear Channel has approximately $1.4 billion available on its bank credit facilities. The Company does not have any public debt maturing during 2004. The Company may utilize existing capacity under its bank facilities and other available funds for general working capital purposes including commercial paper support as well as to fund capital expenditures, acquisitions, stock repurchases and the refinancing of certain public debt securities. Redemptions or repurchases of securities will occur through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or other means. BUSINESS OUTLOOK The Company currently expects that operating income will increase in the mid-single digits on a percentage basis and earnings per share will increase in the mid to high teens on a percentage basis for the full year of 2004. Earnings per share guidance excludes gains from the sale of investments and operating assets, and the effects of early extinguishment of debt.

These gains were offset by the impairment of certain investments totaling $15.0 million pre-tax, $0.01 per diluted share after tax. Excluding these items, 2003 net income would have been $236.8 million or $0.38 per diluted share and the Company’s third quarter 2004 net income and diluted earnings per share growth would have been 10% and 16%, respectively. The Company’s 2003 current tax expense includes $119.7 million of tax related to gains on the sale of the Company’s investments in Univision and American Tower. The Company’s 2004 current tax expense includes a benefit of $18.1 million related to the resolution of a tax issue. The benefit resulted in an effective tax rate of 36.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2004. 5
  • 12. <PAGE> 6 SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURE REGARDING NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION OPERATING INCOME BEFORE DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION (D&A) AND NON-CASH COMPENSATION EXPENSE The following tables set forth Clear Channel’s Operating Income, D&A and Non-cash compensation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003. The Company defines quot;Operating Income before D&A and Non-cash compensation expensequot; as net income adjusted to exclude the following line items presented in its Statement of Operations: Income tax benefit (expense); Other income (expense) - net; Equity in earnings of nonconsolidated affiliates; Gain (loss) on marketable securities; Interest expense; D&A; and, Non-cash compensation expense. The Company uses Operating Income before D&A and Non-cash compensation expense, among other things, to evaluate the Company’s operating performance. This measure is among the primary measures used by management for planning and forecasting of future periods, as well as for measuring performance for compensation of executives and other members of management. This measure is an important indicator of the Company’s operational strength and performance of its business because it provides a link between profitability and cash flows from operating activities. It is also a primary measure used by management in evaluating companies as potential acquisition targets. The Company believes the presentation of this measure is relevant and useful for investors because it allows investors to view performance in a manner similar to the method used by the Company’s management. It helps improve investors’ ability to understand the Company’s operating performance and makes it easier to compare the Company’s results with other companies that have different capital structures or tax rates. In addition, this measure is also among the primary measures used externally by the Company’s investors, analysts and peers in its industry for purposes of valuation and comparing the operating performance of the Company to other companies in its industry. Additionally, the Company’s bank credit facilities use this measure for compliance with leverage covenants. Since Operating Income before D&A and Non-cash compensation expense is not a measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, it should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, net income as an indicator of operating performance and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. Operating Income, D&A and Non-cash compensation expense are all financial statement line items included on the Company’s statement of earnings. Operating Income before D&A and Non-cash compensation expense is not necessarily a measure of the Company’s ability to fund its cash needs. As it excludes certain financial information compared with operating income and net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, users of this financial information should consider the types of events and transactions, which are excluded. As required by the SEC, the Company provides reconciliations below of Operating Income before D&A and Non-cash compensation expense for each segment to such segment’s operating income, and Operating Income before D&A and Non-cash compensation expense to net income, the most directly comparable amounts reported under GAAP. 6
