Item7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

Decision Regarding iHeartCommunications 5.50% Senior Notes due
2016

Clear Channel Holdings, Inc. (CCH), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
iHeartCommunications, owns $57.1million aggregate principal
amount of iHeartCommunications 5.50% Senior Notes due 2016 (the
Senior Notes due 2016). On December9, 2016, a special committee
of independent directors of the Company decided to not repay the
$57.1million principal amount of the Senior Notes due 2016 held
by CCH when the notes mature on December15, 2016. On December12,
2016, iHeartCommunications informed CCH that it does not intend
to repay the $57.1million principal amount of the Senior Notes
due 2016 held by CCH when the notes mature on December15, 2016.
CCH informed iHeartCommunications that, while it retains its
right to exercise remedies under the indenture governing the
Senior Notes due 2016 (the Legacy Note Indenture) in the future,
it does not currently intend to, and it does not currently intend
to request that the trustee, seek to collect principal amounts
due or exercise or request enforcement of any remedy with respect
to the nonpayment of such principal amount under the Legacy Notes
Indenture. As a result, $57.1million of the Senior Notes due 2016
will remain outstanding, and the granting of certain additional
security interests to certain of iHeartCommunications lenders and
the holders of iHeartCommunications priority guarantee notes will
not occur. iHeartCommunications intends to repay in full the
other $192.9million of Senior Notes due 2016 held by other
holders on December15, 2016, and intends to continue to pay
interest on the Senior Notes due 2016 held by CCH for so long as
such notes continue to remain outstanding.

For as long as iHeartCommunications has at least $500million of
legacy notes outstanding, including the $57.1million of Senior
Notes due 2016 currently held by CCH, it will not have an
obligation to grant certain additional security interests in
favor of certain of its lenders and its priority guarantee note
holders (or the holders of its legacy notes) under the springing
lien described in the agreements governing that indebtedness, and
the limitations existing with respect to the existing security
interests will remain in place until up to 60 days following the
date on which not more than $500million aggregate principal
amount of the legacy notes remain outstanding.

Texas Litigation

On December12, 2016, iHeartCommunications initiated an action
against the indenture trustees under the indentures governing
iHeartCommunications priority guarantee notes and Citibank, N.A.
as administrative agent under iHeartCommunications term loans,
which is >iHeartCommunications, Inc., f/k/a Clear
Channel Communications, Inc., et al. v. U.S. Bank National
Association, et al., and an action against the indenture
trustee under the Legacy Note Indenture, which is >iHeartCommunications, Inc., f/k/a Clear Channel
Communications, Inc., et al. v. The Bank of New York, n/k/a The
Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, in the District Court
of Bexar County, Texas (the Texas Court). iHeartCommunications is
seeking a

declaration by the Texas Court that (i)the $57.1million of Senior
Notes due 2016 held by CCH are outstanding and will remain
outstanding until they are canceled or repaid, and
(ii)iHeartCommunications and the other plaintiffs will not be
obligated to grant the springing lien to certain holders of
iHeartCommunications debt and will not be obligated to do so
unless and until 60 days after there is an additional repayment
or cancellation of legacy notes such that the amount of legacy
notes outstanding falls to $500million or less.

On December13, 2016, the Company issued a press release
announcing the decision regarding the Senior Notes due 2016 and
the Texas litigation. A copy of the press release is attached as
Exhibit 99.1 hereto. In accordance with General Instruction B.2
