Clear Channel moving on, kinda sorta
It's easy to see ways in which we don't like the effect Clear Channel has had on theater. They've been part of dumbing down, escapism, a climate where smaller groups trying to get started struggle more than ever, etc. Some unclear and tentative news in the Post indicates Clear Channel is getting out of Broadway. This well could be good news, but it's hard to say what will really change. We will definitely be staying tuned, though it's unlikely it will have much direct impact on high-quality, smaller-budget, meaningful theater.
