Complaining: Creator.Clear Channel

Two major problems here:

1.) The vast majority of the page is complaining, such as "Clear Channel is frequently blamed for the increasing homogenization of radio due to its use of standardized playlists and avoidance of independent or alternative performers.", " Clear Channel is notorious for its high volume of commercials as opposed to content ", and so on. Also, more than half the page is a bullet list of negative incidents involving the company.

2.) The page is also horrendrously out of date, as Clear Channel was renamed iHeartMedia several years ago.

The page could be trimmed to a more neutral description of the company, but there really isn't much use for it. The only inbound links are either tangential name-drops or mentions of take thats given by other media — no Clear Channel/iHeartMedia-owned show seems to have a TV Tropes page.

Opening.

It's gonna need an overhaul and possibly a move if we keep it around.

As mentioned in the second paragraph, iHeartMedia's Premiere subsidiary syndicates a large number of popular radio shows, with Rush Limbaugh specifically linked. Other Premiere-distributed shows with TV Tropes pages include:

And possibly others that have pages I don't know about. Now it's possible Premiere should be considered a separate entity from iHeartMedia as a whole, but that's at least a start for a creator page.

Being out of date is only a problem as far as pretending it's current goes. It wouldn't take much to fix that.

Being made out of almost entirely complaints is a big problem. From what I can tell, if all complaining is cut out, it's a stub at best.

So, the options I think are reasonable here are either cutting or rewriting entirely.

[up] Other networks are under Creator/, so making it a Useful Note may be out of the question. [tdown]

Stripped out all the complaining. Otherwise either rename or cut.
