Clear Channel UK is the UK division of Clear Channel Communications, the global media conglomerate based in the United States. It operates through a complex group structure, with some 70 UK subsidiary companies.

Over the past few years, Clear Channel has been acquiring media outlets in the UK, starting with the takeover of Adshel, which gave it a large share of the UK billboard market, as well as a virtual monopoly on bus shelter advertising in the Republic of Ireland.

As with its US parent, the entertainment division is no longer part of Clear Channel UK, but is now a separate subsidiary, known as Live Nation UK that is part of a separate company, Live Nation that is no longer owned by Clear Channel. See Live Nation UK

This information was modified from the original information taken from the UK Companies Database in April 2005, and re-ordered to show the relationships between holding companies and subsidiaries more clearly. Note that companies previously associated with Clear Channel Entertainment have been removed as they were spun off into a separate company now associated with "Live Nation". Each company's subsidiaries are displayed directly below it. Each line shows, in the following order:

  • Number of holding companies. This shows the 'level of ownership' of the company - the number of holding companies between it and Clear Channel Communications Inc, the main Clear Channel company which is listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Clear Channel Entertainment UK Limited (shown in red) is held by 2 'parent' companies - ClearChannel International Holdings BV, registered in the Netherlands, and Clear Channel Communications Inc, which is listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Their subsidiaries (in dark grey) have 3 holding (parent) companies. Their subsidiaries (light grey) have 4 holding companies, and so forth.
  • Number of subsidiary companies. This table only shows the main subsidiary companies. Some of the light grey companies have many subsidiaries which are listed in the table below. This layout is intended to make the table clearer.
  • Notes from the Companies Database indicating the company's purpose.

Please note that:

  • the information given in the Companies Database is not fully up to date - companies normally have a time window in which to file documents, and even when filed, the documents may take some time to become available on the database.
  • Both tables only include active companies. Companies officially designated as 'dormant' or 'wound up' are not shown in the table, but are counted as 'subsidiaries' in the table above. This is why some companies in the table above will show more subsidiaries than are included in the table below.
