Outdoor and radio giant Clear Channel Communications Tuesday said it donated nearly $160 million in advertising time and space to Advertising Council public service ad campaigns in 2004, an increase
of 30 percent over the upfront commitment it made to the council last year. According to Clear Channel, that represents the largest donation of pro bono ad inventory from a single media company in the
council's 63-year history, and that it has pledged a similar level of support for 2005. -- Joe Mandese
