REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Clear Channel Communications, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan
San Antonio, Texas
San Antonio, Texas
We have audited the financial statements of the Clear Channel Communications, Inc. 401(k)
Savings Plan as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and for the year ended December 31, 2006, as listed
in the accompanying contents page. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plans
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our
audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The
Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over
financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial
reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but
not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plans internal control
over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining on
a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of Clear Channel Communications, Inc. 401(k)
Savings Plan as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the changes in its net assets available for plan
benefits for the year ended December 31, 2006, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements
taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31,
2006, is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic
financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labors Rules
and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974. The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plans management. The supplemental
schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial
statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.

CLEAR CHANNEL COMMUNICATIONS, INC. 401(K) SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2006 AND 2005
DECEMBER 31, 2006 AND 2005
1. DESCRIPTION OF PLAN
The following description of the Clear Channel Communications, Inc. (the Company and Plan
Sponsor) 401(k) Savings Plan (the Plan) provides only general information. Participants should
refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plans provisions.
General The Plan is a defined contribution plan generally covering all eligible employees of the
Company and its subsidiaries who have at least one year of service. It is subject to the
provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.
Contributions Employer contributions to the Plan include matching contributions. Additionally,
elective contributions may be made annually at the discretion of the Plan Sponsors Board of
Directors. The employer contribution was $18,517,224 for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Participants may elect to defer a portion of their compensation by an amount that does not exceed
the maximum allowed under IRS rules and regulations. Participants are always 100% vested in their
voluntary contributions. Each year, participants may elect to contribute up to 25% of their
eligible pay on a pre-tax basis, up to the annual IRS maximum 401(k) deferral limit of $15,000 in
2006; effective January 1, 2005, the Plan Sponsor began limiting the 401(k) deferral percentage
elections of all highly compensated employees in the Plan to a maximum of 5% of pay. The IRS
limits the amount of compensation that can be taken into account for Plan purposes; for 2006, the
qualified plan compensation limit was $220,000. Employees participating in the Plan who attained
age 50 by December 31, were eligible to contribute an additional $5,000 in pre-tax Catch-Up
contributions. Participants may also contribute amounts representing distributions from other
qualified defined benefit or defined contribution plans. Participants direct the investment of
their contributions into various investment options offered by the Plan. The Plan currently offers
one unitized sponsor common stock fund, one unitized majority-owned subsidiary common stock fund,
and 19 registered investment funds of which one is closed to new investors and one is closed to any
new funds.
Participant Accounts Each participants account is credited with allocations of the Plan
Sponsors contribution and Plan earnings and charged with certain stock fund expenses and
transaction fees. Allocations are based on participant account balances and participant directed
transactions, as defined. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can
be provided from the participants vested account.
ESOP Effective September 1, 2005, the Clear Channel Company Stock Fund was designated as an
Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). The ESOP allows participants who invest in the Plan
Sponsors common stock fund to make an election relating to the dividends earned in that fund to
either a) have the dividends reinvested in the fund or b) moved to a dividend fund account for
payment in cash at the end of each year. The default election is the reinvestment of the dividends.
Forfeitures Participant forfeitures of non-vested contributions and unclaimed benefits are used
to reduce employer contributions to the Plan. For the years ending December 31, 2006 and 2005,
approximately $653,000 and $434,000 of forfeitures were used to reduce employer contributions.
There were unallocated forfeitures of approximately $0 and $59,000 as of December 31, 2006 and
2005, respectively.
Vesting Participants are immediately vested in their contributions plus actual earnings thereon.
Vesting in the Plan Sponsors contributions is based on years of continuous service. A
participant is 100% vested after seven years of credited service (or upon the death or disability
of the participant, or attainment of age 65) for contributions made prior to January 1, 2002. A
participant is 100% vested after five years of credited service (or upon the death or disability of
the participant, or attainment of age 65) for contributions made after January 1, 2002.

DECEMBER 31, 2006 AND 2005
1. DESCRIPTION OF PLAN (continued)
Participant Loans Participants may borrow from $1,000 up to a maximum of the lesser of i)
$50,000 reduced by the excess, if any, of (A) the highest outstanding balance of loans to the
participant from the Plan during the one year period ending on the day before the day the loan is
made, over (B) the outstanding balance of loans to the participant from the Plan on the date on
which the loan is made, or ii) 50% of their vested account balance. The loans are secured by the
balance in the participants account and bear a fixed interest rate determined by the Plan Sponsor.
Payment of Benefits On termination of employment, the Plan provides that benefits will be paid
by a lump sum distribution, a rollover, or a combination of a lump sum and rollover. The Plan
Sponsor encourages terminated participants to review the distribution options available under the
Plan. Effective on or after March 28, 2005, the Plan Sponsor may periodically distribute the funds
of terminated participants who do not make a distribution election; if the vested account balance
is $1,000 or less, the funds will be distributed in the form of a lump sum distribution; if the
vested account balance is greater than $1,000 but less than $5,000, the distribution will be paid
in the form of a direct rollover to an individual retirement plan designated by the Clear Channel
Communications, Inc. Retirement Benefits Committee. For benefits over $5,000, benefits may be paid
by lump sum distribution, remain in the Plan until the earlier of age 65 or death of the
participant, or rolled over into another qualified plan. Hardship withdrawals are available to
Plan participants upon approval.
2. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Accounting The financial statements of the Plan are prepared using the accrual
method of accounting.
Investment Valuation and Income Recognition The Plans interest in the Clear Channel
Communications, Inc. Master Trust is stated at fair value (see Note 3).
Payments of Benefits Benefits are recorded when paid.
Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the plan administrator to
make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly,
actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications Certain accounts in the prior year financial statements have been reclassified
for comparative purposes to conform to the presentation in the current years financial statements.
3. PLAN INTEREST IN CLEAR CHANNEL COMMUNICATIONS, INC. MASTER TRUST
The Master Trust was established for the investment of assets of the Plan and other Clear
Channel Communications, Inc. sponsored retirement plans. These investments in the Master Trust
consist of and are valued as follows:
| Plan Sponsors common stock quoted market price | ||
| Majority-owned subsidiary common stock quoted market price | ||
| Unrelated Company stock (resulting from spin-off) quoted market price (related to 2005 only) | ||
| Registered investment funds net asset value of shares held | ||
| Participant loans valued at cost which approximates fair value |
The purpose of the Master Trust is the collective investment of the assets of participating
employee benefit plans of the Company. The Master Trusts assets are allocated among participating
plans by assigning to each plan those transactions (primarily contributions and benefit payments)
which can be specifically identified and allocating among all plans (in proportion to the fair
value of the assets assigned to each plan) the income and expenses resulting from the collective
investment of the assets.

3. PLAN INTEREST IN CLEAR CHANNEL COMMUNICATIONS, INC. MASTER TRUST (continued)
On April 29, 2005, Clear Channel Communications, Inc. announced that its Board of Directors
had approved a plan of strategic initiatives focused on significantly increasing shareholder value.
The plan included: a) an initial public offering, or IPO, of approximately 10% of Clear Channel
Outdoor; b) the 100% spin-off of SFX Entertainment, Inc. d/b/a Clear Channel Entertainment; c) a
$3.00 per share special dividend; and d) a 50% increase in the Companys recurring quarterly
dividend. On August 9, 2005 the Company announced an update to its plan to strategically realign
its businesses and its share repurchase program.
The Clear Channel Outdoor IPO was completed on November 11, 2005. The spin-off of the
Entertainment division, under the name of CCE Spinco, Inc., was completed on December 21, 2005, the
distribution date; CCE Spinco, Inc., changed its name to Live Nation, Inc. The spin-off consisted
of a dividend of .125 share of Live Nation, Inc., common stock for each share of Clear Channel
Communications, Inc., common stock held as of December 14, 2005. The Live Nation stock dividend
was received on the distribution date.
The Live Nation, Inc. common stock held in the Plan was completely liquidated in December 2006.
Participants were given the option to reallocate their funds amongst the Plans other investment
options; if no action was taken by participants then their investment in the Live Nation, Inc.
common stock was automatically transferred to the Fidelity Freedom 2020 Fund.
Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. common stock was added as an investment option under the Plan
effective July 3, 2006.
The proportionate interest of the Plan in the Master Trust at December 31, 2006 and 2005, was
approximately 98.9% and 99.0%, respectively.

5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Certain Plan investments are managed by Fidelity Management Trust Company (Fidelity).
Fidelity is the trustee as defined by the Plan and, therefore, these transactions qualify as
party-in-interest transactions.
The Plan Sponsor paid approximately $243,000 in professional fees related to the Plan for the year
ended December 31, 2006.

DECEMBER 31, 2006 AND 2005
6. PLAN TERMINATION
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Plan Sponsor has the right under the
Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the
provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, participants would become 100% vested in
the employers contributions allocated to their account.
7. TAX STATUS
The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Plan Sponsor by a letter dated
April 11, 2003, that the Plan and related trust are designed in accordance with applicable sections
of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). Effective January 1, 2005, the Clear Channel Communications,
Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan was amended and restated to reflect recent amendments to the Plan and
clarify certain provisions under the Plan, among other matters. Although the Plan has been amended
and restated since receiving the determination letter, the plan administrator believes that the
Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of
the IRC.
8. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On November 16, 2006, the Company announced plans to sell 448 radio stations and all of its
television stations. Through June 21, 2007, definitive asset purchase agreements were signed for
365 radio stations, 13 of which were not part of the announced 448 stations. The closing of these
sales is subject to antitrust clearances, FCC approval and other customary closing conditions. All
closings on the sale of the radio stations are expected to close by the end of 2007. On April 20,
2007, the Company announced that it entered into a definitive agreement to sell its television
business for approximately $1.2 billion. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter
of 2007, subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.
On November 16, 2006, the Company also announced the execution of a definitive merger agreement
with a group led by Thomas H. Lee Partners, L.P., and Bain Capital Partners, LLC, pursuant to which
the group will acquire the Company. On April 18, 2007 and May 17, 2007, the Company announced
amendments to its previously announced merger agreement. Under the terms of the May
17th amendment, at the effective time of the merger contemplated by the merger
agreement, each outstanding share of Company common stock, other than shares owned by Company,
Thomas H. Lee Partners, L.P., Bain Capital Partners, LLC, or certain of their affiliates, any
shareholders who are entitled to and who properly exercise appraisal rights under Texas law and by
the holders of certain securities that will be rolled-over into securities of the company
surviving the merger, will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive either $39.20 in
cash plus additional per share consideration, if any, without interest. As an alternative to
receiving the $39.20 per share cash consideration, the Companys unaffiliated shareholders,
including participants in the Plan, will be offered the opportunity to exchange up to approximately
30,612,245 shares of outstanding Company common stock in the aggregate for an equal number of
shares of the surviving companys Class A common stock (representing approximately 30% of the
outstanding capital stock of the surviving company immediately following the closing of the
merger). In addition, no Company shareholder may elect to receive a number of shares of the
surviving companys Class A common stock representing more than 9.9% of the outstanding capital
stock of the surviving company immediately following the merger. If Company shareholders elect to
receive more than the allocated number of shares of the surviving companys Class A common stock,
then the shares of the surviving companys Class A common stock will be allocated to electing
shareholders on a pro-rata basis and those Company shareholders electing to receive shares of the
surviving companys Class A common stock will receive $39.20 per share for any of their shares of
Company common stock that are not converted in the merger into shares of the surviving companys
Class A common stock. This election to receive stock consideration will not be available with
respect to shares of Company common stock, or options to purchase shares of Company Common Stock,
beneficially owned by L. Lowry Mays, Mark Mays, Randall Mays or any other member of the Board of
Directors of the Company.

9. RISK AND UNCERTAINTIES
The Plan may invest in various types of investment securities. Investment securities are
exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market, and credit risks. Due to the level of
risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes
in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could
materially affect the amounts reported in the statement of net assets available for Plan benefits.
