because it has no meaning any longer - hell people today aren’t even listening to FM radio much less AM.

Absolutely false. Channels are about talking and listening. How the people listen is a detail.

Clear Channel is a media outfit. Media is about communication. Communication takes place over channels! Obviously, a "clear" channel is a good channel! The notion of a channel is fundamental to communication, and thus to a media enterprise. Thus, dibs on the name "Clear Channel" is valuable.

Only radio nerds will know, much less care, about the legacy-tech FCC definition, LOL!
