SFX and Clear Channel partner up, bring Beatport Top 20 to terrestrial radio
Fourteen years ago Robert Sillerman sold his original concert promotions company, SFX Entertainment, to Clear Channel Communications for $3 billion dollars. Now he takes the second iteration of the SFX brand back to Clear Channel, this time for a market partnership with the radio giant on numerous initiatives including a talent search competition for DJs that will air on stations nationwide. The partnership also features a weekly top 20 Beatport countdown, the music juggernaut that Sillerman purchased in mid-2013 for $50 million.
