Clear Channel’s HD2 Multicast Streams up 71 Percent

Page views for Clear Channel Radio’s HD2 multicast channel streams are up 71 percent this week, according to statistics compiled by WebSideStory, Clear Channel said today. And the number of streaming sessions is up 90 percent in the same period.

When Clear Channel announced in mid-Jan. that it was turning on HD2 multicast digital radio channels in 20+ markets throughout the country in weeks to come, president and CEO of Clear Channel Radio said the rollout also included online streaming of the new channels because, once listeners heard the incredible sound quality of HD radio, receivers would “start flying off the shelves.”

At this time, Clear Channel Radio has more than 20 markets broadcasting HD2 multicasts in addition to HD1 primary broadcasts.
