Basis of Presentation [Abstract]
Basis Of Presentation	NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION Preparation of Interim Financial Statements The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared by Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and, in the opinion of management, include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the results of the interim periods shown. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting pri nciples (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. Management believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Due to seasonality and other factors, the results for the interim periods may not be indicative of results for the full year. The financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2014 Annual Report on F orm 10-K. All references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “we,” “us” and “our” refer to the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. Our reportable segments are Americas outdoor advertising (“Americas”) and International outdoor a dvertising (“In ternational”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries and give effect to allocations of expenses from the Company’s indirect parent entity, iHeart Communications , Inc. (“iHeartCommunications”). These allocations were made on a specifically identifiable basis or using relative percentages of headcount or other methods management considered to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided. Also included in the consolidated financial statements are entities for which the Company has a controlling financial interest or is the primary beneficiary. Investments in companies in which the Company owns 20% to 50% of the voting common stock or otherwise exercises significant influence over operating and financial po licies of the c ompany are accounted for under the equity method. All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated in the consolidation process. Certain prior-period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2015 presentation. During th e first quarter of 2015, and in connection with the appointment of a new chief executive officer for the Company and a new chief executive officer for Americas , the Company reevaluated its segment reporting and determined that its Latin American operations should be managed by its Americas leadership team. As a result, the operations of Latin America are no longer reflected within the Company’s International segment and are included in the results of its Americas segm ent. Accordingly, the Company has recast the corresponding segment disclosures for prior periods to include Latin America within the Americas segment . New Accounting Pronouncements During the first quarter of 2015, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) ASU No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360), Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity . This update provides guidance for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of discontinued operations. The update is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 15 December 2014 and interim periods within those years. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. During the first quarter of 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, Consolida tion (Topic 810), Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis . This new standard eliminates the deferral of FAS 167, which has allowed entities with interest in certain investment funds to follow the previous consolidation guidance in FIN 46(R), and makes oth er changes to both the variable interest model and the voting model. The standard is effective for annual periods, and for interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of th e provisions of this new standard on its financial position and results of operations. During the second quarter of 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835 -30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs . This update requires entities to present debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that direct debt liability. The standard is effective for annual periods, and for interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of this new standard on its financial position and results of operations . During the third quarter of 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date . This update provides a one-year deferral of the effective date for ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers . ASU No. 2014-09 provides guidance for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of revenue resulting from contracts with customers and will supersede virtually all of the current revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The standard is effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of this new standard on its financial position and results of operations. During t he third quarter of 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments . This update eliminates the requirement for an acquirer in a business combination to account for measurement-period adjustments retrospectively. Instead, acquirers must recognize measurement-period adjustments during the period in which they determine the amounts, including the effect on earnings of any amounts they would have recorded in previous per iods if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of this new standard on its financial position and results of operations.

Property, Plant And Equipment, Intangible Assets And Goodwill [Abstract]
Property, Plant And Equipment, Intangible Assets And Goodwill [Text Block]	NOT E 2 – PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT, INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL Property, Plant and Equipment The Company’s property, plant and equipment consisted of the following classes of assets as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. (In thousands) September 30, December 31, 2015 2014 Land, buildings and improvements $ 195,217 $ 198,280 Structures 2,974,643 2,999,582 Furniture and other equipment 154,261 152,084 Construction in progress 60,223 75,469 3,384,344 3,425,415 Less: accumulated depreciation 1,627,851 1,519,764 Property, plant and equipment, net $ 1,756,493 $ 1,905,651 Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets The Company’s indefinite-lived intangible asset s consist primarily of billboard permits in its Americas segment. Due to significant differences in both business practices and regulations, billboards in the International segment are subject to long-term, finite contracts , unlike the Company’s permits in the United States and Canada. Accordingly, there are no indefinite-lived intangible assets in the International segment . Annual Impairment Test to Billboard Permits Hist orically, the Company performed its annual impairment test on indefinite-lived intangible assets as of October 1 of each year. Beginning in the third quarter of 2015, the Company began performing its annual impairment test on July 1 of each year. The impairment tests for indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of a comparison between the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset at the market level with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the indefinite-lived intangible ass et exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to that excess. After an impairment loss is recognized, the adjusted carrying amount of the indefinite-lived asset is its new accounting basis. The fair value of the indefinite-lived asset is determined using the direct valuation method as prescribed in ASC 805-20-S99. Under the direct valuation method, the fair value of the indefinite-lived assets is calculated at the market level as prescribed by ASC 350-30-35. The Company engaged Corpor ate Valuation Consulting LLC (formerly a Mesirow Financial Consulting Practice), a third-party valuation firm, to assist it in the development of the assumptions and the Company’s determination of the fair value of its indefinite-lived intangible assets. The application of the direct valuation method attempts to isolate the income that is properly attributable to the indefinite-lived intangible asset alone (that is, apart from tangible and identified intangible assets and goodwill). It is based upon model ing a hypothetical “greenfield” build-up to a “normalized” enterprise that, by design, lacks inherent goodwill and whose only other assets have essentially been paid for (or added) as part of the build-up process. The Com pany forecasts revenue, expenses a nd cash flows over a ten-year period for each of its markets in its application of the direct valuation method. The Company also calculates a “normalized” residual year which represents the perpetual cash flows of each market. The residual year cash flow was capitalized to arrive at the terminal value of the permits in each market. Under the direct valuation method, it is assumed that rather than acquiring indefinite-lived intangible assets as part of a going concern business, the buyer hypothetically de velops indefinite-lived intangible assets and builds a new operation with similar attributes from scratch. Thus, the buyer incurs start-up costs during the build-up phase which are normally associated with going concern value. Initial capital costs are d educted from the discounted cash flow model which results in value that is directly attributable to the indefinite-lived intangible assets. The key assumptions using the direct valuation method are market revenue growth rates, market share, profit margin, duration and profile of the build-up period, estimated start-up capital costs and losses incurred during the build-up period, the risk-adjusted discount rate and terminal values. This data is populated using industry normalized information representing a n average billboard permit within a market. The Company recognized an impairment charge related to its indefinite-lived intangible assets of $21.6 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 related to billboard permits in one market . The Company did n ot recognize an impairment charge for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 . Other Intangible Assets Other intangible assets include definite-lived intangible assets and permanent easements. The Company’s definite-lived intangible assets consist primarily of transit and street furniture contracts, site-leases and other contractual rights, all of which are amortized over the shorter of either the respective lives of the agreements or over the period of time the assets are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to the Company’s future cash flows. Permanent easements are indefinite-lived intangible assets which include certain rights to use real property not owned by the Company. The Company periodical ly reviews the appropriateness of the amortization periods related to its definite-lived intangible assets. These assets are recorded at cost. The following table presents the gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization for each major class of other intangible assets as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively: (In thousands) September 30, 2015 December 31, 2014 Gross Carrying Amount Accumulated Amortization Gross Carrying Amount Accumulated Amortization Transit, street furniture and other outdoor contractual rights $ 663,304 $ (465,835) $ 716,722 $ (476,523) Permanent easements 171,825 - 171,272 - Other 3,246 (2,311) 2,912 (2,319) Total $ 838,375 $ (468,146) $ 890,906 $ (478,842) Total amortization expense related to definite-lived intangible assets for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was $11.1 million and $16.7 million, respectively. Total amortization expense related to definite-lived intangible assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was $38.3 million and $50.8 million, respectively. As acquisitions and dispositions occur in the future, amortization expense may vary. The following table presents the Company’s estimate of amortization expense for each of the five succeeding fiscal years for definite-lived intangible assets: (In thousands) 2016 $ 38,652 2017 $ 29,822 2018 $ 24,998 2019 $ 16,369 2020 $ 13,464 Annual Impairment Test to Goodwill Historically, the Company performed its annual impairment test on goodwill as of October 1 of each year. Beginning in the third quarter of 2015, the Company began performing its annual impairment test on July 1 of each year. Each of the Company’s advertising markets are components. The U.S. advertising markets are aggregated into a single reporting unit for purposes of the goodwill impairment test using the guidance in ASC 350-20-55. The Company also determined that each country within its Americas segment and its International segment constitutes a separate reporting unit. The goodwill impairment test is a two-step process. The first step, used to screen for potential impairment, compares the fa ir value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If applicable, the second step, used to measure the amount of the impairment loss, compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. Each of the Company’s reporting units is valued using a discounted cash flow model which requires estimating future cash flows expected to be genera ted from the reporting unit and discounting such cash flows to their present value using a risk-adjusted discount rate. Terminal values were also estimated and discounted to their present value. Assessing the recoverability of goodwill requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions about sales, operating margins, growth rates and disco unt rates based on its budgets, business plans, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows and marketplace data. There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and management’s judgment in applying these factors. The Company conclud ed no goodwil l impairment charge was required for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. The following table presents the changes in the carrying amount of goodwill in each of the Company’s reportable segments: (In thousands) Americas International Consolidated Balance as of December 31, 2013 $ 585,227 $ 264,907 $ 850,134 Foreign currency (653) (32,369) (33,022) Balance as of December 31, 2014 $ 584,574 $ 232,538 $ 817,112 Foreign currency (636) (15,434) (16,070) Balance as of September 30, 2015 $ 583,938 $ 217,104 $ 801,042

Commitments And Contingencies [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies [Text Block]	NOTE 4 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in certain legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business and, as required, have accrued an estimate of the probable costs for the resolution of those claims for which the occurrence of loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. These estimates have been developed in consultation with counsel and are based upon an analysis of potential results, assuming a combination of litigati on and settlement strategies. It is possible, however, that future results of operations for any particular period could be materially affected by changes in the Company’s assumptions or the effectiveness of its strategies related to these proceedings. A dditionally, due to the inherent uncertainty of litigation, there can be no assurance that the resolution of any particular claim or proceeding would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. Althoug h the Company is involved in a variety of legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, a large portion of the Company’s litigation arises in the following contexts: commercial disputes; misappropriation of likeness and right of publicity claims; employment an d benefits related claims; governmental fines; intellectual property claims; and tax disputes . Los Angeles Litigation In 2008, Summit Media, LLC, one of the Company’s competitors, sued the City of Los Angeles (the “City”), Clear Channel Outdoor, Inc. (“CCOI”) and OUTFRONT Media Inc. (formerly CBS Outdoor Americas Inc.) in Los Angeles Superior Court (Case No. BS116611) challenging the validity of a settlement agreement that had been entered into in November 2006 among the parties and pursuant to which CCOI had taken down existing billboards and converted 83 existing sign s from static displays to digital displays. In 2009 , the Los Angeles Superior Court ruled that the settlement agreement constituted an ultra vires act of the City, and nullified its existence. After further proceedings, on April 12, 2013 , the Los Angeles Superior Court invalidated 82 digital modernization permits issued to CCOI ( 77 of which displays were operating at the time of the ruling) and CCOI was required to turn off the electrical power to all affected digital displays on April 15, 2013. The digi tal display structures remain intact but digital displays are currently prohibited in the City. CCOI is seeking permits under the existing City sign code to either wrap the LED faces with vinyl or convert the LED faces to traditional static signs, and has obtained a number of such permits. CCOI is also pursuing a new ordinance to permit digital signage in the City . International Outdoor Investigation On April 21, 2015, inspections were conducted at the premises of the Company in Denmark and Sweden as p art of an investigation by Danish competition authorities. Additionally, on the same day, Clear Channel UK received a communication from the UK competition authorities, also in connection with the investigation by Danish competition authorities. The Compa ny and its affiliates are cooperating with the national competition authorities .

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
New Accounting Pronouncements [Policy Text Block]	New Accounting Pronouncements During the first quarter of 2015, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) ASU No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360), Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity . This update provides guidance for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of discontinued operations. The update is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 15 December 2014 and interim periods within those years. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. During the first quarter of 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, Consolida tion (Topic 810), Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis . This new standard eliminates the deferral of FAS 167, which has allowed entities with interest in certain investment funds to follow the previous consolidation guidance in FIN 46(R), and makes oth er changes to both the variable interest model and the voting model. The standard is effective for annual periods, and for interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of th e provisions of this new standard on its financial position and results of operations. During the second quarter of 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835 -30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs . This update requires entities to present debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that direct debt liability. The standard is effective for annual periods, and for interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of this new standard on its financial position and results of operations . During the third quarter of 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date . This update provides a one-year deferral of the effective date for ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers . ASU No. 2014-09 provides guidance for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of revenue resulting from contracts with customers and will supersede virtually all of the current revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The standard is effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of this new standard on its financial position and results of operations. During t he third quarter of 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments . This update eliminates the requirement for an acquirer in a business combination to account for measurement-period adjustments retrospectively. Instead, acquirers must recognize measurement-period adjustments during the period in which they determine the amounts, including the effect on earnings of any amounts they would have recorded in previous per iods if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of this new standard on its financial position and results of operations.
