They recently committed $120 million in donated advertising time and space for Ad Council PSA (Public Service Advertising) campaigns in the upcoming year. It's the largest upfront commitment from a media company in the Ad Council's 60-year history, and a doubling of Clear Channel's current contribution of $60 million.
