Description: CCO Clear Channel Outdoor October 23, 2025

Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: CCO) is a U.S.-based out-of-home (OOH) advertising firm that also operates in Singapore, organized into two reporting segments: America and Airports. Its inventory spans traditional billboards, “spectacular” custom structures with video and kinetic elements, street-furniture assets (bus shelters, kiosks, news-racks), transit displays in rail stations and on vehicles, and wall-scapes, plus advertising solutions for commercial and private airports.

The company’s technology suite-RADARView, RADARConnect, RADARProof, and RADARSync-leverages anonymized mobile-location data to plan, amplify, measure, and integrate campaigns across digital and physical media, positioning CCO as a data-driven OOH player.

Key operating metrics (FY 2023) show roughly 400 k total displays, of which about 20 % are digital, generating $2.5 billion in revenue and an EBITDA margin near 30 %. Growth in digital-OOH inventory and programmatic buying has been a primary driver of recent top-line expansion, while inflation-linked cost pressures have modestly compressed margins.

Sector-wide, the shift toward programmatic OOH and the increasing value of mobile-location data are accelerating demand for measurable, real-time advertising solutions-trends that directly benefit CCO’s RADAR platform.
