Clear Channel Site to Showcase Artists

Clear Channel Communications Inc. has launched an online effort to trumpet the work of unsigned musicians.

The Web site, Clear Channel New Music Network, will allow aspiring recording artists to register and post samples of their work. The site is designed to showcase the acts’ work to record labels and music consumers.

Clear Channel, the nation’s biggest radio station owner and concert promoter, plans to promote the initiative on its stations, entertainment venues and other properties. The company said the Web site eventually could include an online radio channel.
