Clear channel may refer to:

• Clear channel, a communications channel on which only one transmitter operates at a time
  • Clear-channel station, a regulatory category of AM broadcast stations in North America
• Clear Channel Communications, a broadcasting company in the United States, now known as iHeartCommunications
• Clear Channel Outdoor, a public subsidiary of iHeartMedia

A clear-channel station is an AM radio station in North America that has the highest protection from interference from other stations, particularly concerning night-time skywave propagation. The system exists to ensure the existence of cross-country or cross-continent radio service, and is enforced through a series of treaties and statutory laws. Now known as Class A stations since 1982, they are occasionally still referred to by their former classifications of Class I-A (the highest classification), Class I-B (the next highest class), or Class I-N (for stations in Alaska too far away to cause interference to the primary clear-channel stations in the lower 48 states). The term "clear channel" is used most often in the context of North America and the Caribbean, where the concept originated.
