Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

On September 5, 2014, Clear Channel Communications, Inc. (“CCU”), an indirect subsidiary of CC Media Holdings, Inc., distributed a confidential preliminary offering circular dated September 5, 2014 (the “Offering Circular”) relating to the proposed offering of $750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of CCU’s Priority Guarantee Notes due 2022 (the “Proposed Offering”) to be offered and sold only to qualified institutional buyers in an unregistered offering pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and to certain non-U.S. persons in transactions outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the Act.

The Offering Circular discloses that through September 4, 2014, revenues for CCU’s Media and Entertainment segment were pacing up 1.7%, with core stations pacing up 0.3%. Pacings for the Americas Outdoor advertising and International Outdoor advertising segments were down 0.6% and up 5.3%, respectively.

The pacing data included in the Offering Circular may be deemed material, non-public information and is being furnished hereby pursuant to Item 7.01 and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Act or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
