BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
BASIS OF PRESENTATION	BASIS OF PRESENTATION Merger and Separation On May 1, 2019, in conjunction with the emergence of iHeartMedia, Inc. ("iHeartMedia") from bankruptcy proceedings under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code and pursuant to iHeartMedia's modified fifth amended Plan of Reorganization (the "iHeartMedia Plan of Reorganization"), Clear Channel Holdings, Inc. ("CCH"), Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. ("CCOH") and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Outdoor Group") were separated from, and ceased to be controlled by, iHeartCommunications, Inc. ("iHeartCommunications"), a subsidiary of iHeartMedia (collectively, with its subsidiaries, the "iHeart Group"), through a series of transactions (the "Separation"). Additionally, pursuant to the Settlement and Separation Agreement (the "Separation Agreement") entered into with iHeartMedia and iHeartCommunications, the intercompany agreements with iHeartCommunications were terminated. Refer to Note 7 for additional details. As part of the Separation, CCOH merged with and into its parent company, CCH (the “Merger”), with CCH surviving the Merger, becoming the successor to CCOH and changing its name to Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. Refer to Note 7 for details on how the Merger was effected. All references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. Preparation of Interim Financial Statements The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared by 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 principles (“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 audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Amendment No. 1 to Current Report on Form 8-K, filed on May 7, 2019. Prior to the Separation, the historical financial statements of the Company consisted of the carve-out financial statements of the businesses of the Outdoor Group (the "Outdoor Business"). The carve-out financial statements exclude the portion of the radio businesses previously owned by CCH, which had historically been reported as part of iHeartMedia’s iHM segment prior to the Separation, and amounts attributable to CCH, which was a holding company prior to the Separation with no independent assets or operations. Upon the Separation and the transactions related thereto (the “Transactions”) on May 1, 2019, the Company’s only assets, liabilities and operations were those of the Outdoor Business. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries and, prior to the Separation, give effect to allocations of expenses from iHeartMedia to the Company. These allocations, which ceased at the time of Separation, 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 policies of the company 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 2019 presentation. New Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted Leases The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-02, Leases , which created Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 842, and all subsequent ASUs relating to this Topic (collectively, "ASC Topic 842") as of January 1, 2019. This new lease accounting standard, which supersedes previous lease accounting guidance under U.S. GAAP (ASC Topic 840), results in significant changes to the balance sheets of lessees, most significantly by requiring the recognition of a right-of-use ("ROU") asset and lease liability by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases. Lessor accounting is also updated to align with certain changes in the lessee model and the revenue recognition standard (ASC Topic 606), which was adopted in 2018. The Company applied the transition provisions of this standard at January 1, 2019 following the optional transition method provided by ASU 2018-11; consequently, the consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements for periods before the date of adoption continue to be presented in accordance with ASC Topic 840. In addition, the Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which allowed us to not reassess whether expired or existing contracts are or contain leases and to carry forward the historical lease classification for those leases that commenced prior to the date of adoption. Upon adoption of ASC Topic 842, prepaid and deferred rent balances, which were historically presented separately, were combined and presented net within the ROU asset. Additionally, deferred gains related to previous transactions that were historically accounted for as sale and operating leasebacks in accordance with ASC Topic 840 were recognized as a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity, resulting in an increase to equity, net of tax, of $14.6 million . Adoption of this new standard had a material impact on our consolidated balance sheets, but it did not have a material impact on our other consolidated financial statements. Additionally, the standard requires disclosures to meet the objective of enabling users of the financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. Refer to Note 2 , Revenue , and Note 3 , Leases , for more information. Intangible Assets and Goodwill During the first quarter of 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment , which eliminates the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Instead, entities shall record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit's carrying amount over its fair value (limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit). The standard is mandatory for annual and interim impairment tests performed for periods beginning after December 15, 2019; however, the Company early adopted the guidance under ASU 2017-04 beginning on January 1, 2019 on a prospective basis. Although the implementation of ASU 2017-04 resulted in a change to our accounting policy around the calculation of goodwill impairment, it did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 4 for more information about our annual goodwill impairment test, which is performed as of July 1 of each year. During the third quarter of 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract . This update requires that a customer in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract follow the internal-use software guidance in ASC Subtopic 350-40 to determine which implementation costs to capitalize as assets. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019; however, the Company early adopted the guidance under ASU 2018-15 beginning on January 1, 2019 on a prospective basis. The implementation of ASU 2018-15 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted Financial Instruments In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses , which requires a reporting entity to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments and present assets held at amortized cost and available-for-sale debt securities at the amount expected to be collected. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
REVENUE	REVENUE The Company generates revenue primarily from the sale of advertising space on printed and digital out-of-home advertising displays. These contracts typically cover periods of a few weeks to one year, although there are some with longer terms. Revenue contracts in our Americas outdoor advertising segment ("Americas") are generally cancelable after a specified notice period, and revenue contracts in our International outdoor advertising segment ("International") are generally non-cancelable or require the customer to pay a fee to terminate the contract. Certain of these revenue transactions are considered leases for accounting purposes as the contracts convey to customers the right to control the use of the Company’s advertising displays for a period of time. To qualify as a lease, fulfillment of the contract must be dependent upon the use of a specified advertising structure, the customer must have almost exclusive use of the advertising display throughout the contract term, and, upon adoption of the new leases standard (ASC Topic 842) on January 1, 2019, the customer must also have the right to change the advertisement that is displayed throughout the contract term. The Company has elected a practical expedient to not separate non-lease components from associated lease components if certain criteria are met. As such, each right to control the use of an advertising display that meets the lease criteria is combined with the related installation and maintenance services provided under the contract into a single lease component. Production services, which do not meet the criteria to be combined, and each advertising display that does not meet the lease criteria (along with any related installation and maintenance services) are non-lease components. Consideration in outdoor advertising contracts is allocated between lease and non-lease components in proportion to their relative standalone selling prices, which are generally approximated by the contractual prices for each promised service. The Company accounts for revenue from leases, which are all classified as operating leases, in accordance with the lease accounting guidance (ASC Topic 840 or ASC Topic 842, depending on the advertising campaign start date), while the Company’s remaining revenue transactions are accounted for as revenue from contracts with customers (ASC Topic 606). In accordance with the Company's election of transition practical expedients under ASC Topic 842, as described in Note 1, revenue contracts with campaign start dates prior to January 1, 2019 were not reassessed to determine whether they qualify as a lease under the requirements of the new leasing standard. Instead, they continue to be accounted for as revenue from contracts with customers or revenue from leases based on the requirements of the previous standard (ASC Topic 840), and the new requirements have been applied to revenue contracts with campaign start dates on or after January 1, 2019. Because the definition of a lease is more restrictive under the new standard, fewer of our new revenue contracts meet the definition of a lease for accounting purposes, resulting in an increase in the percentage of revenue that is categorized as revenue from contracts with customers as compared to the prior year. Disaggregation of Revenue The following table shows, by segment, revenue from contracts with customers disaggregated by geographical region, revenue from leases and total revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 : (In thousands) Americas International Consolidated Three Months Ended September 30, 2019 Revenue from contracts with customers: United States $ 177,866 $ — $ 177,866 Other Americas 976 16,498 17,474 Europe — 213,324 213,324 Asia-Pacific — 55,968 55,968 Total 178,842 285,790 464,632 Revenue from leases 149,408 39,407 188,815 Revenue, total $ 328,250 $ 325,197 $ 653,447 Three Months Ended September 30, 2018 Revenue from contracts with customers: United States $ 116,503 $ — $ 116,503 Other Americas 671 11,241 11,912 Europe — 191,118 191,118 Asia-Pacific — 3,020 3,020 Total 117,174 205,379 322,553 Revenue from leases 186,247 154,939 341,186 Revenue, total $ 303,421 $ 360,318 $ 663,739 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 Revenue from contracts with customers: United States $ 490,797 $ — $ 490,797 Other Americas 2,898 47,554 50,452 Europe — 666,635 666,635 Asia-Pacific — 169,185 169,185 Total 493,695 883,374 1,377,069 Revenue from leases 434,419 127,090 561,509 Revenue, total $ 928,114 $ 1,010,464 $ 1,938,578 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 Revenue from contracts with customers: United States $ 328,138 $ — $ 328,138 Other Americas 1,955 36,723 38,678 Europe — 604,911 604,911 Asia-Pacific — 8,645 8,645 Total 330,093 650,279 980,372 Revenue from leases 529,097 464,648 993,745 Revenue, total $ 859,190 $ 1,114,927 $ 1,974,117 The Company’s advertising structures, which may be owned or leased, are used to generate revenue, and such revenue may be classified as revenue from contracts with customers or revenue from leases depending on the terms of the contract, as previously described. Revenue from Contracts with Customers The following tables show the Company’s beginning and ending accounts receivable and deferred revenue balances from contracts with customers: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, (In thousands) 2019 2018 2019 2018 Accounts receivable, net of allowance, from contracts with customers: Beginning balance $ 509,129 $ 322,084 $ 367,918 $ 346,323 Ending balance $ 519,958 $ 308,002 $ 519,958 $ 308,002 Deferred revenue from contracts with customers: Beginning balance $ 55,164 $ 45,509 $ 39,916 $ 28,804 Ending balance $ 65,784 $ 39,953 $ 65,784 $ 39,953 During the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 , respectively, the Company recognized $40.0 million and $34.6 million of revenue that was included in the deferred revenue from contracts with customers balance at the beginning of the quarter. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 , respectively, the Company recognized $36.0 million and $25.9 million of revenue that was included in the deferred revenue from contracts with customers balance at the beginning of the year. As previously described, the Company’s contracts with customers generally have terms of one year or less; however, as of September 30, 2019 , the Company expects to recognize $109.8 million of revenue in future periods for remaining performance obligations from current contracts with customers that have an original expected duration greater than one year, with the majority of this amount to be recognized over the next five years . Revenue from Leases As of September 30, 2019 , future lease payments to be received by the Company are as follows: (In thousands) 2019 $ 222,798 2020 126,427 2021 22,920 2022 11,726 2023 3,118 Thereafter 4,954 Total $ 391,943 Note that the future lease payments disclosed are limited to the non-cancelable period of the lease and, for contracts that require the customer to pay a significant fee to terminate the contract such that the customer is considered reasonably certain not to exercise this option, periods beyond the termination option. Payments scheduled for periods beyond a termination option are not included for contracts that allow cancellation by the customer without a significant fee.

LEASES

Leases [Abstract]
LEASES	LEASES The Company enters into contracts to use land, buildings and office space, structures, and other equipment such as automobiles and copiers. Such arrangements are evaluated at inception to determine whether they contain a lease. The majority of the Company's leases are operating leases, including land lease contracts and lease contracts for the use of space on floors, walls and exterior locations on buildings. The majority of the Company's transit contracts do not meet the definition of a lease under ASC Topic 842 due to substantive substitution rights within those contracts; however, in accordance with the transition approach that the Company elected to adopt ASC Topic 842, as described in Note 1, contracts that were historically determined to be leases under ASC Topic 840, including certain international transit contracts, are included in the Company’s balance sheet as of January 1, 2019. Operating leases are reflected on the Company's balance sheet as Operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets, and the related short-term and long-term liabilities are included within Current and Noncurrent operating lease liabilities, respectively. ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at lease commencement based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term, and lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company's finance leases are included within Property, plant and equipment, and the related short-term and long-term liabilities are included within the Current portion of long-term debt and Long-term debt, respectively. Certain of the Company's operating lease agreements include rental payments that are based on a percentage of revenue, and others include rental payments that are adjusted periodically for inflationary changes. Percentage rent contracts, in which lease expense is calculated as a percentage of advertising revenue, and payments due to changes in inflationary adjustments are included within variable rent expense, which is accounted for separately from periodic straight-line lease expense. Amounts related to insurance and property taxes in lease arrangements when billed on a pass-through basis are allocated to the lease and non-lease components of the lease based on their relative standalone selling prices. The Company is commonly assessed VAT on its international contracts, which is treated as a non-lease component. Many of the Company's operating lease contracts permit the Company to continue operating the leased assets after the rights and obligations of the lease agreements have expired. Such contracts are not considered to be leases after they expire, and future expected payments are not included in operating lease liabilities or ROU assets. Additionally, many of the Company's leases entered into in connection with advertising structures provide options to extend the terms of the agreements. Renewal periods are generally excluded from minimum lease payments when calculating the lease liabilities as the Company does not consider exercise of such options to be reasonably certain for most leases. Therefore, unless exercise of a renewal option is considered reasonably assured, the optional terms and payments are not included within the lease liability. The Company's lease agreements do not contain material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. The implicit rate within the Company's lease agreements is generally not determinable. As such, the Company uses the incremental borrowing rate ("IBR") to determine the present value of lease payments at the commencement of the lease. The IBR, as defined in ASC Topic 842, is the rate of interest that a lessee would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. The following table provides the components of lease expense included within the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 : (In thousands) Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended Operating lease expense $ 129,912 $ 396,668 Variable lease expense 31,805 102,327 The following table provides the weighted-average remaining lease term and the weighted-average discount rate for the Company's operating leases as of September 30, 2019 : September 30, Operating lease weighted-average remaining lease term (in years) 10.3 Operating lease weighted-average discount rate 7.15 % As of September 30, 2019 , the Company’s future maturities of operating lease liabilities were as follows: (In thousands) 2019 $ 139,780 2020 435,804 2021 367,670 2022 290,070 2023 234,041 Thereafter 1,419,378 Total lease payments $ 2,886,743 Less: Effect of discounting 951,364 Total operating lease liability $ 1,935,379 The following table provides supplemental cash flow information related to leases: (In thousands) Nine Months Ended Cash paid for amounts included in measurement of operating lease liabilities $ 419,294 Lease liabilities arising from obtaining right-of-use assets 1 $ 2,253,622 1 Includes transition liabilities upon adoption of ASC Topic 842, as well as new leases entered into during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 .

The trademarks have a gross carrying amount of $83.2 million and a remaining useful life of ten years . The Company performs its annual impairment test for indefinite-lived intangible assets as of July 1 of each year, as described in the Company’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K. As a result of this impairment test, the Company recognized impairment charges of $5.3 million and $7.8 million during the third quarter of 2019 and 2018 , respectively, related to permits in one market in its Americas segment. Total amortization expense related to definite-lived intangible assets for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was $6.5 million and $5.0 million , respectively. Total amortization expense related to definite-lived intangible assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was $15.3 million in each of the respective periods. The following table presents the Company’s estimate of amortization expense for each of the five succeeding fiscal years for definite-lived intangible assets; however, in the event that acquisitions and dispositions occur in the future, amortization expense may vary. (In thousands) 2020 $ 21,179 2021 $ 20,829 2022 $ 19,077 2023 $ 14,688 2024 $ 14,590 Goodwill 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, 2018 $ 507,819 $ 198,184 $ 706,003 Foreign currency — (8,419 ) (8,419 ) Balance as of September 30, 2019 $ 507,819 $ 189,765 $ 697,584 The Company performs its annual impairment test for goodwill as of July 1 of each year. Due to the Company's adoption of ASU 2017-04 on January 1, 2019, as described in Note 1, the goodwill impairment test is no longer a two-step process. Rather, the carrying amount of each reporting unit, including goodwill, is compared to the fair value of the reporting unit, and any excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit, is recorded as a goodwill impairment charge. There have been no other changes to the methods the Company uses to test goodwill for impairment as described in the Company’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company concluded no goodwill impairment was required during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 or during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 .

(2) The term loans under the New Term Loan Facility amortize in equal quarterly installments in an aggregate annual amount equal to 1.00% of the original principal amount of such term loans, with the first quarterly payment due on December 31, 2019 and the balance being payable on August 23, 2026. As of September 30, 2019 , the Company expects future maturities of long-term debt to be $5.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2019 , $20.3 million in 2020 , $20.3 million in 2021 , $20.4 million in 2022 and $20.4 million in 2023 , with the remainder due thereafter. (3) In connection with the refinancing in August 2019 described in footnote (1) above, the Company entered into a $175.0 million revolving credit facility (the "New Revolving Credit Facility") and terminated its existing receivables-based facility and entered into a new $125.0 million receivables-based credit facility (the "New Receivables-Based Credit Facility"). As of September 30, 2019 , the New Revolving Credit Facility, which has a borrowing limit of $175.0 million , was undrawn. The New Receivables-Based Credit Facility had a borrowing base greater than its borrowing limit of $125.0 million and $62.3 million of letters of credit outstanding, resulting in $62.7 million of excess availability. Access to availability under these credit facilities is limited by the covenants relating to incurrence of secured indebtedness in the New CCWH Senior Notes Indenture. Additionally, as of September 30, 2019 , iHeartCommunications had outstanding commercial standby letters of credit of $0.9 million held on behalf of the Company. (4) In February 2019, the Company refinanced all of CCWH's outstanding 7.625% Series A Senior Subordinated Notes due 2020 (the “Series A CCWH Subordinated Notes”) and 7.625% Series B Senior Subordinated Notes due 2020 (the “Series B CCWH Subordinated Notes” and together with the Series A CCWH Subordinated Notes, the "CCWH Subordinated Notes") with the proceeds of the issuance of $2,235.0 million aggregate principal amount of CCWH's new 9.25% Senior Notes due 2024 (which were senior subordinated notes at the time of issuance in February 2019 but ceased to be subordinated on August 23, 2019 upon the closing of the refinancing transactions described in footnote (1) above) (the “New CCWH Senior Notes”). In August 2019, the Company redeemed approximately $333.5 million aggregate principal amount of the New CCWH Senior Notes using the net proceeds of a public offering of common stock. (5) On May 1, 2019, in accordance with the Separation Agreement, Clear Channel Outdoor, LLC ("CCO") and Clear Channel International, Ltd., subsidiaries of the Company, entered into a three -year unsecured $200.0 million revolving credit facility with iHeartCommunications (the "iHeartCommunications Line of Credit"); however, on July 30, 2019, the Company terminated the iHeartCommunications Line of Credit in connection with the consummation of a public offering of common stock. No borrowings were outstanding thereunder, and there were no early termination penalties payable in connection with the termination of the iHeartCommunications Line of Credit. As a result of the debt refinancing transactions and redemptions described in the footnotes to the above table, the Company recognized debt extinguishment losses of $96.3 million and $101.7 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 . The aggregate market value of the Company’s debt based on market prices for which quotes were available was approximately $5.4 billion and $5.2 billion as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively. Under the fair value hierarchy established by ASC 820-10-35, the market value of the Company’s debt is classified as Level 1. 9.25% Senior Notes Due 2024 On February 12, 2019, CCWH completed the sale of $2,235.0 million in aggregate principal amount of New CCWH Senior Notes. The New CCWH Senior Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of February 12, 2019 (the “New CCWH Senior Notes Indenture”), among CCWH, the Company, CCO and the other guarantors party thereto, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, paying agent, registrar and transfer agent. The New CCWH Senior Notes mature on February 15, 2024 and bear interest at a rate of 9.25% per annum. Prior to the Separation, interest was payable weekly in arrears; however, following the Separation, interest is payable to the holders of the New CCWH Senior Notes semi-annually on February 15 and August 15 of each year. Guarantees and Ranking Upon issuance, the New CCWH Senior Notes and the guarantees thereof were unsecured senior subordinated obligations of CCWH and the guarantors. On August 23, 2019, following the refinancing of the CCWH Senior Notes with the New CCOH Senior Secured Notes and New Term Loan Facility, the New CCWH Senior Notes ceased to be subordinated indebtedness and became senior obligations of CCWH, the Company and the other guarantors thereto in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing the New CCWH Senior Notes and, beginning on that date and at all times thereafter, rank pari passu in right of payment with the New CCOH Senior Secured Notes, the New Term Loan Facility and New Revolving Credit Facility (together, the "New Senior Secured Credit Facilities") and the New Receivables-Based Credit Facility. On the same date, certain subsidiaries of the Company which are acting as guarantors for the New CCOH Senior Secured Notes, the New Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the New Receivables-Based Credit Facility, but which were not previously guarantors of the New CCWH Senior Notes, entered into a supplemental indenture to the New CCWH Senior Notes Indenture to become guarantors thereunder. Registration Rights Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, dated February 12, 2019, CCWH, the Company and the guarantors are required to use their commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission no later than April 30, 2020 a registration statement to register the New CCWH Senior Notes and the guarantees thereof and to cause the registration statement to become effective no later than June 9, 2020. CCWH, the Company and the guarantors have not yet filed the registration statement but expect to comply with the deadlines set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement. Redemptions CCWH may redeem the New CCWH Senior Notes at its option, in whole or part, at any time prior to February 15, 2021, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the New CCWH Senior Notes redeemed, plus a make-whole premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. CCWH may redeem the New CCWH Senior Notes, in whole or in part, on or after February 15, 2021, at the redemption prices set forth in the New CCWH Senior Notes Indenture plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. At any time prior to February 15, 2021, CCWH may elect to redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the New CCWH Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to 109.25% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, with the net proceeds of one or more equity offerings. In addition, CCWH may redeem up to 20% of the aggregate principal amount of the New CCWH Senior Notes at any time prior to February 15, 2021, using the net proceeds from certain other equity offerings at 103% of the principal amount of the New CCWH Senior Notes. CCWH is permitted to use these two redemption options concurrently but is not permitted to redeem, in the aggregate, more than 40% of the principal amount of the New CCWH Senior Notes pursuant to these options. Certain Covenants The New CCWH Senior Notes Indenture contains covenants that limit the Company’s ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to, among other things: (i) incur or guarantee additional debt or issue certain preferred stock; (ii) redeem, purchase or retire subordinated debt; (iii) make certain investments; (iv) create restrictions on the payment of dividends or other amounts from the Company’s restricted subsidiaries that are not Guarantors; (v) enter into certain transactions with affiliates; (vi) merge or consolidate with another person, or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; (vii) sell certain assets, including capital stock of the Company’s subsidiaries; (viii) designate the Company’s subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries; (ix) pay dividends, redeem or repurchase capital stock or make other restricted payments; and (x) incur certain liens. As of September 30, 2019 , the Company was in compliance with all covenants contained in the New CCWH Senior Notes Indenture. 5.125% Senior Secured Notes Due 2027 On August 23, 2019, the Company completed the sale of $1,250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of CCOH Senior Secured Notes. The New CCOH Senior Secured Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of August 23, 2019 (the “New CCOH Senior Secured Notes Indenture”), among the Company, the subsidiaries of the Company acting as guarantors party thereto, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee and as collateral agent. The New CCOH Senior Secured Notes mature on August 15, 2027 and bear interest at a rate of 5.125% per annum. Interest on the New CCOH Senior Secured Notes is payable to the holders thereof semi-annually on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning on February 15, 2020. Guarantees and Security The New CCOH Senior Secured Notes are guaranteed fully and unconditionally on a senior secured basis by the Company’s existing and future wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries that guarantee the Company’s obligations under the New Term Loan Facility and the New Revolving Credit Facility. The New CCOH Senior Secured Notes and the guarantees thereof are secured on a first-priority basis by security interests in all of the Company’s and the guarantors’ assets securing the New Senior Secured Credit Facilities on a pari passu basis with the liens on such assets (other than the assets securing the Company’s New Receivables-Based Credit Facility) (such assets, other than accounts receivable and certain other assets, the “New CCOH Senior Secured Notes Priority Collateral”), and on a second-priority basis by security interests in all of the Company’s and the guarantors’ assets securing the New Receivables-Based Credit Facility on a first-priority basis (the “ABL Priority Collateral” and, together with the New CCOH Senior Secured Notes Priority Collateral, the “New CCOH Senior Secured Notes Collateral”), in each case, other than any excluded assets and subject to intercreditor agreements. The New CCOH Senior Secured Notes and the guarantees are general senior secured obligations of the Company and the guarantors thereof and rank pari passu in right of payment with the Company’s and the guarantors’ existing and future senior indebtedness, including the New Senior Secured Credit Facilities, the New Receivables-Based Credit Facility and the New CCWH Senior Notes (which on August 23, 2019 ceased to be subordinated indebtedness). Redemptions The Company may redeem all or a portion of the CCOH Senior Secured Notes beginning on August 15, 2022 at the redemption prices set forth in the New CCOH Senior Secured Notes Indenture. Prior to August 15, 2022 the Company may redeem all or a portion of the New CCOH Senior Secured Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the New CCOH Senior Secured Notes plus the “make-whole” premium described in the New CCOH Senior Secured Notes Indenture. The Company may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the CCOH Senior Secured Notes at any time prior to August 15, 2022 using the net proceeds from certain equity offerings at 105.125% of the principal amount of the New CCOH Senior Secured Notes. During any twelve month period prior to August 15, 2022, subject to certain exceptions and conditions, the Company may also redeem up to 10% of the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of New CCOH Senior Secured Notes at a redemption price equal to 103% of the aggregate principal amount of the New CCOH Senior Secured Notes being redeemed, provided that at the time of any such redemption, there are no outstanding borrowings under the New Senior Secured Credit Facilities (including any amounts drawn under any revolving credit facility or other borrowings outstanding in respect of any term loans), and no such redemption can be made with the proceeds of any indebtedness that refinances existing indebtedness.

New Receivables-Based Credit Facility On August 23, 2019, concurrently with the issuance of the New CCOH Senior Secured Notes and the entry into the New Senior Secured Credit Agreement, the Company entered into a new receivables-based credit agreement (the “New Receivables-Based Credit Agreement”) with Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, as administrative agent, collateral agent, swing line lender and L/C issuer, the other lenders and L/C issuers party thereto, the joint lead arrangers and bookrunners party thereto and the co-documentation agents party thereto. The New Receivables-Based Credit Agreement governs the Company’s New Receivables-Based Credit Facility. The Company and certain of its subsidiaries are borrowers under the New Receivables-Based Credit Facility. The New Receivables-Based Credit Facility includes sub-facilities for letters of credit and for short-term borrowings referred to as the swing line borrowings. In addition, the New Receivables-Based Credit Agreement provides that the Company has the right at any time, subject to customary conditions, to request incremental commitments on terms set forth in the New Receivables-Based Credit Agreement. Size and Availability The New Receivables-Based Credit Agreement provides for an asset-based revolving credit facility, with amounts available from time to time (including in respect of letters of credit) equal to the lesser of (i) the borrowing base, which equals 85.0% of the eligible accounts receivable of the borrower and the subsidiary borrowers, subject to customary eligibility criteria minus any reserves, and (ii) the aggregate revolving credit commitments. The aggregate revolving credit commitments are $125.0 million . Interest Rate and Fees Borrowings under the New Receivables-Based Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Rate (as defined therein) plus, at the Company’s option, either (1) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50% , (b) the rate of interest in effect for such date as publicly announced from time to time by the administrative agent as its “prime rate,” (c) the Eurocurrency rate that would be calculated as of such day in respect of a proposed Eurocurrency rate loan with a one-month interest period plus 1.00% and (d) 0.00% , or (2) a Eurocurrency rate equal to the LIBOR rate as published by Bloomberg two business days prior to the commencement of the interest period. In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the New Receivables-Based Credit Agreement, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee to the lenders under the New Receivables-Based Credit Agreement in respect of the unutilized revolving commitments thereunder. The Company is also required to pay a customary letter of credit fee for each issued letter of credit. Maturity Borrowings under the New Receivables-Based Credit Agreement mature, and lending commitments thereunder terminate, on August 23, 2024. Prepayments If at any time, the outstanding amount under the New Receivables-Based Credit Agreement exceeds the lesser of (i) the aggregate amount committed by the revolving credit lenders and (ii) the borrowing base, the Company will be required to prepay first, any protective advances, and second, any outstanding revolving loans and swing line loans and/or cash collateralize letters of credit in an aggregate amount equal to such excess, as applicable. Subject to customary exceptions and restrictions, the Company may voluntarily repay outstanding amounts under the New Receivables-Based Credit Agreement at any time without premium or penalty. Any voluntary prepayments made will not reduce commitments under the New Receivables-Based Credit Agreement. Guarantees and Security The New Receivables-Based Credit Facility is guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of the Company that guarantee the New Senior Secured Credit Agreement. All obligations under the New Receivables-Based Credit Agreement and the guarantees of those obligations are secured by a perfected first priority security interest in the ABL Priority Collateral and a perfected second priority security interest in the New CCOH Senior Secured Notes Priority Collateral. Certain Covenants The New Receivables-Based Credit Agreement contemplates that if borrowing availability is less than an amount set forth therein, the Company will be required to comply with a fixed charge coverage ratio of no less than 1.00 to 1.00 for the most recent period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ended prior to the occurrence of the Covenant Trigger Period (as defined in the New Receivables-Based Credit Agreement), and will be required to continue to comply with this minimum fixed charge coverage ratio for a certain period of time until borrowing availability recovers. The fixed charge coverage ratio did not apply for the four quarters ended September 30, 2019 because a Covenant Trigger Period was not in effect. The New Receivables-Based Credit Agreement also includes negative covenants that, subject to significant exceptions, limit the Company’s ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to, among other things: (i) incur additional indebtedness; (ii) create liens on assets; (iii) engage in mergers, consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions; (iv) sell assets; (v) pay dividends and distributions or repurchase capital stock; (vi) make investments, loans, or advances; (vii) prepay certain junior indebtedness; (viii) engage in certain transactions with affiliates; (ix) enter into agreements which limit its ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to incur restrictions on their ability to make distributions; and (x) amend or waive organizational documents.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	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 litigation 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. Additionally, 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. Although 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 and benefits related claims, governmental fines, intellectual property claims, and tax disputes. Stockholder Litigation On May 9, 2016, a stockholder of the Company filed a derivative lawsuit in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Chancery Court”), captioned GAMCO Asset Management Inc. v. iHeartMedia Inc. et al., C.A. No. 12312-VCS. The complaint named as defendants iHeartCommunications, the Company’s indirect parent company prior to the Separation; iHeartMedia, the parent company of iHeartCommunications; Bain Capital Partners, LLC and Thomas H. Lee Partners, L.P. (together, the “Former Sponsor Defendants”), iHeartMedia’s pre-bankruptcy private equity sponsors and pre-bankruptcy majority owners; and the members of the Company’s board of directors. The Company also was named as a nominal defendant. The complaint alleged that the Company had been harmed by the intercompany agreements with iHeartCommunications, the Company’s lack of autonomy over its own cash and the actions of the defendants in serving the interests of iHeartMedia, iHeartCommunications and the Former Sponsor Defendants to the detriment of the Company and its minority stockholders. The plaintiff sought, among other things, a ruling that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties to the Company and that iHeartMedia, iHeartCommunications and the Former Sponsor Defendants aided and abetted the board of directors’ breaches of fiduciary duty; rescission of payments to iHeartCommunications and its affiliates pursuant to dividends declared in connection with the offering of the CCIBV Senior Notes and the sales of certain outdoor markets in the U.S.; and an order requiring iHeartMedia, iHeartCommunications and the Former Sponsor Defendants to disgorge all profits they have received as a result of the alleged fiduciary misconduct. On July 20, 2016, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss plaintiff's verified stockholder derivative complaint for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. On November 23, 2016, the Delaware Chancery Court granted the defendants’ motion to dismiss all claims brought by the plaintiff. On December 19, 2016, the plaintiff filed a notice of appeal of the ruling. The oral hearing on the appeal was held on October 11, 2017. On October 12, 2017, the Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the lower court's ruling, dismissing the case. On December 29, 2017, another stockholder of the Company filed a derivative lawsuit (the "Norfolk Lawsuit") in the Delaware Chancery Court captioned Norfolk County Retirement System, v. iHeartMedia, Inc., et al., C.A. No. 2017-0930-JRS. The complaint names as defendants iHeartMedia, iHeartCommunications, the Former Sponsor Defendants, and the members of the Company's board of directors. The Company is named as a nominal defendant. The complaint alleges that the Company has been harmed by the Company Board’s November 2017 decision to extend the maturity date of the intercompany revolving note (the “Third Amendment”) at what the complaint describes as far-below-market interest rates. The plaintiff sought, among other things, a ruling that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties to the Company, a modification of the Third Amendment to bear a commercially reasonable rate of interest, and an order requiring disgorgement of all profits, benefits and other compensation obtained by the defendants as a result of the alleged breaches of fiduciary duties. On March 7, 2018, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the plaintiff's verified derivative complaint for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. On March 16, 2018, iHeartMedia filed a Notice of Suggestion of Pendency of Bankruptcy and Automatic Stay of Proceedings. On May 4, 2018, the plaintiff filed its response to the motion to dismiss. On June 26, 2018, the defendants filed a reply brief in further support of their motion to dismiss. Oral argument on the motion to dismiss was held on September 20, 2018. On August 27, 2018, the same stockholder of the Company that had filed a derivative lawsuit against iHeartMedia and others in 2016 (GAMCO Asset Management Inc.) filed a putative class action lawsuit (the "GAMCO II Lawsuit") in the Delaware Chancery Court, captioned GAMCO Asset Management, Inc. v. Hendrix, et al., C.A. No. 2018-0633-JRS. The complaint names as defendants the Former Sponsor Defendants and the members of the Company’s board of directors. The complaint alleges that minority shareholders in the Company during the period November 8, 2017 to March 14, 2018 were harmed by decisions of the Company's board of directors and the intercompany note committee of the board of directors relating to the intercompany note. The plaintiff sought, among other things, a ruling that the Company's board of directors, the intercompany note committee, and the Sponsor Defendants breached their fiduciary duties and that the Sponsor Defendants aided and abetted the Board’s breach of fiduciary duty, as well as an award of damages, together with pre- and post-judgment interests, to the putative class of minority shareholders. On December 16, 2018, the Debtors, the Company, GAMCO Asset Management, Inc., and Norfolk County Retirement System entered into a settlement agreement (the "Settlement Agreement"), which resolves all claims, objections, and other causes of action that have been or could be asserted by or on behalf of the Company, GAMCO Asset Management, Inc., and/or Norfolk County Retirement System by and among the Debtors, the Company, GAMCO Asset Management, Inc., certain individual defendants in the GAMCO Asset Management, Inc. action and/or the Norfolk County Retirement System action, and the private equity sponsor defendants in such actions. The Settlement Agreement provides for the consensual separation of iHeartMedia and certain of its subsidiaries, including iHeartCommunications, (collectively, the "Debtors") and the Company; approximately $149.0 million of recovery to CCOH on account of its claim against iHeartCommunications in the Chapter 11 cases; an unsecured revolving line of credit in an aggregate amount not to exceed $200 million from iHeartCommunications (the “iHeartCommunications Line of Credit”); the transfer of certain of the Debtors’ intellectual property to the Company; the waiver by the Debtors of the setoff for the value of the transferred intellectual property; mutual releases; the termination of the cash sweep under the existing Corporate Services Agreement; the termination of any agreements or licenses requiring royalty payments from the Company to the Debtors for trademarks or other intellectual property; the waiver of any post-petition amounts owed by the Company relating to such trademarks or other intellectual property; and the execution of a new transition services agreement and other separation documents. The Settlement Agreement was approved by the Bankruptcy Court and the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas in connection with the confirmation of the iHeartMedia Chapter 11 Cases on January 22, 2019. On May 1, 2019, the Debtors' plan of reorganization went effective, and the Norfolk Lawsuit and GAMCO II Lawsuit were each subsequently dismissed with prejudice. China Investigation Two former employees of Clear Media Limited, an indirect, non-wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company whose ordinary shares are listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, have been convicted in China of certain crimes, including the crime of misappropriation of funds, and sentenced to imprisonment. The Company is not aware of any litigation, claim or assessment pending against the Company in relation to this investigation. Based on information known to date, the Company believes any contingent liabilities arising from potential misconduct that has been or may be identified by the investigation in China are not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The effect of the misappropriation of funds is reflected in these financial statements in the appropriate periods. The Company advised both the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and the United States Department of Justice of the investigation at Clear Media Limited and is cooperating to provide documents, interviews and information in response to inquiries from the agencies. The Clear Media Limited investigation could implicate the books and records, internal controls and anti-bribery provisions of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which statute and regulations provide for potential monetary penalties as well as criminal and civil sanctions. It is possible that monetary penalties and other sanctions could be assessed on the Company in connection with this matter. The nature and amount of any monetary penalty or other sanctions cannot reasonably be estimated at this time and could be qualitatively or quantitatively material to the Company. Italy Investigation During the three months ended June 30, 2018, the Company identified misstatements associated with VAT obligations in its business in Italy, which resulted in an understatement of its VAT obligation. These misstatements resulted in an understatement of other long-term liabilities of $16.9 million as of December 31, 2017. The effect of these misstatements is reflected in the historical financial statements in the appropriate periods. Upon identification of these misstatements, the Company undertook certain procedures, including a forensic investigation. In addition, the Company voluntarily disclosed the matter and findings to the Italian tax authorities in order to commence a discussion on the appropriate calculation of the VAT position. The current expectation is that the Company may have to repay to the Italian tax authority a substantial portion of the VAT previously applied as a credit in relation to the transactions under investigation, amounting to approximately $17 million , including estimated possible penalties and interest. The Company made a payment of approximately $6.9 million , net of VAT recoverable, during the fourth quarter of 2018 and expects to pay the remainder during the last quarter of 2019 or the first half of 2020. The ultimate amount to be paid may differ from the estimates, and such differences may be material.

Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS	RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Merger Agreement On March 27, 2019, as contemplated by the Settlement Agreement and the iHeartMedia Plan of Reorganization, CCH and its subsidiary, CCOH, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"). On May 1, 2019, CCOH merged with and into CCH, with CCH surviving the Merger. The Merger was effected through a series of transactions, as follows: • Prior to the Merger, the 315,000,000 shares of CCOH's Class B Common Stock ("Old CCOH Class B Common Stock") held by CCH were converted into shares of CCOH's Class A Common Stock (the "Old CCOH Class A Common Stock"); • At the effective time of the Merger, each share of Old CCOH Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding (other than shares of Old CCOH Class A Common Stock held by CCH) converted into one share of common stock of the Company (the "Common Stock”); • The 325,726,917 shares of Old CCOH Class A Common Stock held by CCH were canceled and retired, and no shares of Common Stock were exchanged for such shares; and • All outstanding shares of CCH's common stock, all held by iHeartCommunications immediately before the Merger, were converted into 325,726,917 shares of Common Stock and transferred to certain holders of claims in iHeartMedia Chapter 11 Cases pursuant to the iHeartMedia Plan of Reorganization. As a result, immediately after the Merger, CCH had a single class of common stock, and the holders of Old CCOH Class A Common Stock owned the same percentage of the Company that they owned of CCOH immediately before the Merger. At the effective time of the Merger, CCH changed its name to Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. Separation Agreement On March 27, 2019, CCH, CCOH, iHeartMedia and iHeartCommunications entered into the Separation Agreement governing the terms of the separation of the Outdoor Group from the iHeart Group, immediately after giving effect to the Transactions. Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, on May 1, 2019, (i) the iHeart Group transferred to the Outdoor Group any and all direct or indirect title and interest in the assets that are primarily related to or used primarily in connection with the Outdoor Business after giving effect to the Transactions (such assets, the “Outdoor Assets”), excluding certain excluded assets, and (ii) the Outdoor Group transferred to the iHeart Group any and all direct or indirect title and interest in the assets of the business conducted by the iHeart Group after giving effect to the Transactions, including the radio business (the “iHeart Business” and such assets, the “iHeart Assets”). At the same time as the transfer of the Outdoor Assets from the iHeart Group to the Outdoor Group, the members of the Outdoor Group assumed the liabilities associated with the Outdoor Business, subject to certain exceptions as set forth in the Separation Agreement. Additionally, at the same time as the transfer of the iHeart Assets from the Outdoor Group to the iHeart Group, the members of the iHeart Group assumed the liabilities associated with the iHeart Business, subject to certain exceptions as set forth in the Separation Agreement. Also pursuant to the Separation Agreement, any agreements or licenses requiring royalty payments to the iHeart Group by the Outdoor Group for trademarks or other intellectual property terminated effective as of December 31, 2018, and upon consummation of the Separation, certain intercompany notes and intercompany accounts among the Outdoor Group and the iHeart Group were settled, terminated and canceled, including the revolving promissory note payable by iHeartCommunications to the Company (the "Due from iHeartCommunications Note"). The Company had previously recognized a loss of $855.6 million on the Due from iHeartCommunications Note during the fourth quarter of 2017 to reflect the estimated recoverable amount of the note based on management's best estimate of the cash settlement amount upon implementation of the iHeartMedia Plan of Reorganization. Therefore, as of December 31, 2018, the Due from iHeartCommunications Note balance, net of allowance for credit losses, on the consolidated balance sheet was $154.8 million . Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Company recovered 14.44% of its allowed claim of $1,031.7 million under the Due from iHeartCommunications Note, or approximately $149.0 million , during the second quarter of 2019. The Due from iHeartCommunications Note was canceled upon consummation of the Separation, and the uncollectible $5.8 million balance was recognized as a loss on the Statement of Comprehensive Loss. The Separation Agreement provided for (i) the repayment of the post-petition intercompany balance outstanding in favor of the Debtors as of December 31, 2018, which was equal to $21.6 million as of that date and (ii) the waiver of the set-off value of any royalties and IP license fees owed to iHeartCommunications equal to approximately $31.8 million from March 14, 2018 through December 31, 2018, such that the resulting intercompany balance on such date was $10.2 million in favor of the Company. Pursuant to an amendment to the Separation Agreement, the Company offset the $149.0 million amount owed to it by the iHeart Group for recovery of the Due from iHeartCommunications Note by $52.1 million (which is the additional intercompany liability incurred by the Company in favor of iHeartCommunications from January 1, 2019 through March 31, 2019), resulting in a total net payment to the Company of approximately $107.0 million on May 1, 2019 (including the $10.2 million payment discussed above). iHeartCommunications paid the Company the intercompany liability incurred from April 1, 2019 through May 1, 2019 of $8.8 million after the Separation. In addition, pursuant to the Separation Agreement, the Company received (i) the trademarks listed on the schedules to the Separation Agreement and (ii) reimbursement of the reasonable expenses of legal counsel and financial advisors incurred on or prior to May 1, 2019 of the Company’s board of directors or the special committee of the Company’s board of directors, in each case, to the extent incurred in connection with the Separation. Corporate Services and Transition Services Agreements Prior to the Separation, under the Corporate Services Agreement between iHeartCommunications and the Company, iHeartCommunications provided management services to the Company, which included, among other things: (i) treasury, payroll and other financial related services; (ii) certain executive officer services; (iii) human resources and employee benefits services; (iv) legal and related services; (v) information systems, network and related services; (vi) investment services; (vii) procurement and sourcing support services; (viii) licensing of intellectual property, copyrights, trademarks and other intangible assets; and (ix) other general corporate services. These services were charged to the Company based on actual direct costs incurred or allocated by iHeartCommunications based on headcount, revenue or other factors on a pro rata basis. The Company recorded $16.0 million , $50.1 million , and $10.2 million for these services as a component of corporate expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2018 , the nine months ended September 30, 2018 , and the 2019 period prior to the Separation, respectively. Upon consummation of the Separation, the Corporate Services Agreement was terminated, and iHeartMedia, iHeartMedia Management Services, Inc. (“iHM Management Services”), iHeartCommunications and the Company entered into a transition services agreement (the “Transition Services Agreement”). Pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement, iHM Management Services provides, or causes any member of the iHeart Group to provide, the Company with certain administrative and support services and other assistance which the Company will utilize in the conduct of its business as such business was conducted prior to the Separation, for one year from May 1, 2019, subject to certain rights of the Company to extend up to one additional year. Additionally, the Company may terminate the Transition Services Agreement with respect to all or any individual service, in whole or in part, upon 30 days’ prior written notice, provided that any co-dependent services must be terminated concurrently. The Company recorded fees under this agreement of $3.6 million and $6.5 million as a component of corporate expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2019 and the 2019 period subsequent to the Separation, respectively. Tax Matters Agreements Prior to the Separation, there was a Tax Matters Agreement between iHeartCommunications and the Company (the "Old Tax Matters Agreement"), pursuant to which the operations of the Company were included in a consolidated federal income tax return filed by iHeartCommunications. Under the Old Tax Matters Agreement, the Company’s provision for income taxes was computed as if the Company filed separate consolidated federal income tax returns with its subsidiaries. Tax payments were made to iHeartCommunications on the basis of the Company’s separate taxable income, and tax benefits recognized on the Company’s employee stock option exercises were retained by the Company. In addition, if iHeartCommunications or its subsidiaries used certain of the Company's tax attributes (including net operating losses, foreign tax credits and other credits) and such use resulted in a decrease in tax liability for iHeartCommunications or its subsidiaries, then iHeartCommunications would reimburse the Company for the use of such attributes based on the amount of tax benefit realized. Upon consummation of the Separation, the Old Tax Matters Agreement was terminated and replaced with a new tax matters agreement (the "New Tax Matters Agreement") by and among iHeartMedia, iHeartCommunications, iHeart Operations, Inc. ("iHeart Operations"), the Company and CCO to allocate the responsibility of the iHeart Group, on the one hand, and the Outdoor Group, on the other, for the payment of taxes arising prior to and subsequent to, and in connection with, the Separation. In addition to certain indemnifications between iHeartMedia and the Company, and their respective subsidiaries, directors, officers and employees, the New Tax Matters Agreement requires iHeartMedia to reimburse the Company for the use of certain of the Company's tax attributes (including net operating losses, foreign tax credits and other credits) if such use results in a decrease in the tax liability of iHeartMedia or its subsidiaries, with the exception of the use of any reduction of the Company's tax attributes as a result of cancellation of indebtedness income realized in connection with the iHeart Chapter 11 Cases. Any tax liability of the Company attributable to any taxable period ending on or before May 1, 2019, other than any such tax liability resulting from the Company being a successor of CCOH in connection with the Merger or arising from the operation of the Company after the Merger, will not be treated as a liability of the Company and its subsidiaries for purposes of the New Tax Matters Agreement. Employee Matters Agreement Prior to 2019, the Company’s employees participated in iHeartCommunications’ employee benefit plans, including employee medical insurance and a 401(k) retirement benefit plan pursuant to an Employee Matters Agreement. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , the Company recorded $2.3 million and $6.9 million , respectively, as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses for these services. On January 1, 2019, the Company's employees began participating in the Company's separate employee benefit plans, including employee medical insurance and a 401(k) retirement benefit plan. The Employee Matters Agreement was terminated upon consummation of the Separation; however, the Company continues to receive administrative assistance related to the Company's employee benefit plans from iHeartCommunications under the Transition Services Agreement. Other Related Party Transactions The Company provides advertising space on its billboards for iHeartMedia and for radio stations owned by iHeartMedia. This arrangement will continue throughout the term of the Transition Services Agreement. The Company recorded $1.1 million and $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 , respectively, and $3.4 million and $5.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 , respectively, in revenue for these advertisements. The majority of these agreements are leasing transactions as they convey to iHeartMedia the right to control the use of the Company's advertising structures for a stated period of time.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	INCOME TAXES Income Tax Expense The Company’s income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 consisted of the following components: (In thousands) Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 2018 2019 2018 Current tax expense $ (3,626 ) $ (12,508 ) $ (47,439 ) $ (16,127 ) Deferred tax benefit (expense) (26,510 ) 5,612 (11,367 ) (40,889 ) Income tax expense $ (30,136 ) $ (6,896 ) $ (58,806 ) $ (57,016 ) The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 were (16.5)% and (17.6)% , respectively. The effective rate was primarily impacted by the valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets resulting from losses and interest expense carryforwards in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions due to uncertainty regarding the Company's ability to realize those assets in future periods. The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 were (13.4)% and (32.2)% , respectively. The effective rate was primarily impacted by the valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets resulting from net operating losses in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions due to uncertainty regarding the Company's ability to realize those assets in future periods. In connection with the Separation, certain deferred tax attributes of the Company were reduced as a result of cancellation of indebtedness income realized in connection with the iHeartMedia Plan of Reorganization, and, as discussed in Note 7, the Company was not reimbursed for this reduction of tax attributes under the terms of the New Tax Matters Agreement. The reorganization adjustments resulted in a reduction to deferred tax assets for all U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards and certain state net operating loss carryforwards. These adjustments were partially offset by the reduction of valuation allowances recorded by the Company as of the Separation date. The net tax impact of the reorganization adjustments, which was approximately $65.9 million , was treated as a distribution and reflected on the balance sheet as a reduction of additional paid-in capital. Additionally, the Company recognized a capital loss for tax purposes as a result of the series of transactions to effect the Separation. To the extent the capital loss is not subject to reduction as a result of cancellation of indebtedness income, it may be carried forward to offset capital gains recognized by the Company in the next five years, subject to annual limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. The deferred tax asset associated with the capital loss carryforward is offset by a valuation allowance due to significant uncertainty regarding the Company's ability to utilize the carryforward prior to its expiration.

Equity [Abstract]
STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (DEFICIT)	STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (DEFICIT) Common Stock On May 1, 2019, the Merger was effected through a series of transactions, described in Note 7 , such that immediately after the Merger, the Company had a single class of common stock, and the holders of Old CCOH Class A Common Stock owned the same percentage of the Company that they owned of CCOH immediately before the Merger. The shares of Old CCOH Class A Common Stock were delisted from the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE"), and, following the consummation of the Merger, the shares of common stock of the Company began trading on the NYSE at the opening of the market on May 2, 2019 under the symbol, "CCO," which is the same trading symbol used by CCOH prior to the Merger. On July 30, 2019, the Company issued 100 million shares of common stock in a public offering and received proceeds of $333.3 million , net of underwriting discounts and offering expenses. The Company used the proceeds from this offering, net of underwriting discounts, to redeem approximately $333.5 million aggregate principal amount of New CCWH Senior Notes on August 22, 2019. Share-Based Compensation The Company has granted restricted stock, restricted stock units and options to purchase shares of its common stock to certain employees and directors of the Company under its equity incentive plans. Share-based compensation expense, which is recorded in corporate expenses, was $2.0 million and $3.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 , respectively, and $12.4 million and $6.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 , respectively. The increase in share-based compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same period of 2018 relates to certain new equity awards granted in the second quarter of 2019 in connection with the Separation, which were expensed immediately as they do not contain a service condition for vesting. As of September 30, 2019 , there was $11.5 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements that will vest based on service conditions. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.6 years . On October 15, 2019, the Company granted 4.2 million restricted stock units ("RSUs") and 1.6 million performance stock units ("PSUs") to certain of its employees. • The RSUs vest in three equal annual installments on each of April 1, 2020, April 1, 2021 and April 1, 2022, provided that the recipient is still employed by or providing services to the Company on each vesting date. • The PSUs will vest and become earned based on the achievement of the Company’s total shareholder return relative to the Company’s peer group (the “Relative TSR”) over a performance period commencing on October 1, 2019 and ending on March 31, 2022 (the “Performance Period”). If the Company achieves Relative TSR at the 90th percentile or higher, the PSUs will be earned at 150% of the target number of shares. If the Company achieves Relative TSR at the 60th percentile, the PSU will be earned at 100% of the target number of shares. If the Company achieves Relative TSR at the 30th percentile, the PSUs will be earned at 50% of the target number of shares. To the extent Relative TSR is between vesting levels, the portion of the PSUs that become vested will be determined using straight line interpolation. The PSUs are considered market condition awards pursuant to ASC Topic 260 (Earnings Per Share). Computation of Net Loss Per Share The following table presents the computation of net loss per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 : (In thousands, except per share data) Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended 2019 2018 2019 2018 NUMERATOR: Net loss attributable to the Company – common shares $ (215,298 ) $ (65,088 ) $ (390,404 ) $ (243,893 ) DENOMINATOR: Weighted average common shares outstanding - basic 463,049 361,815 396,202 361,680 Stock options and restricted stock (1) — — — — Weighted average common shares outstanding - diluted (1) 463,049 361,815 396,202 361,680 Net loss attributable to the Company per common share: Basic $ (0.46 ) $ (0.18 ) $ (0.99 ) $ (0.67 ) Diluted $ (0.46 ) $ (0.18 ) $ (0.99 ) $ (0.67 ) (1) Outstanding equity awards of 9.6 million and 7.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 , respectively, and 8.7 million and 7.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 , respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because to do so would have been anti-dilutive.

The terms and conditions of the Preferred Stock and the rights of its holders are set forth in the Certificate of Designation of Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designation”) of the Company filed with the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on May 1, 2019, and the Series A Investors Rights Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2019, by and among the Company, CCWH, and the purchaser listed therein (the “Investors Rights Agreement”). Shares of the Preferred Stock rank senior in priority of payment to our common equity interests, preferred stock junior to the Preferred Stock, and other equity interests and preferred stock that do not expressly provide that such equity interest or preferred stock ranks senior to or pari passu with the Preferred Stock in any liquidation or winding up of the Company. Dividends on the Preferred Stock accrue on a daily basis at the applicable dividend rate on the then-current liquidation preference of the Preferred Stock. Dividends will either (a) be payable in cash, if and to the extent declared by the board of directors, or (b) be added to the liquidation preference. The dividend rate will be equal to (i) the greater of (a) a published LIBOR rate or (b) 2% plus (ii) either a cash dividend margin or an accruing dividend margin, in each case based on the Company's consolidated leverage ratio, subject to certain adjustments. At any leverage ratio, the accruing dividend margin will exceed the cash dividend margin by 1.5% . Dividends, if declared, will be payable on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year (or on the next business day if such date is not a business day). No dividend may be declared unless paid immediately in cash (it being understood that no dividends may be declared and paid in securities or otherwise "in kind"). The Company may redeem the Preferred Stock, at its option, at any time on or after May 1, 2022 in cash at a redemption price equal to the liquidation preference per share. Upon consummation of certain equity offerings prior to May 1, 2022, the Company may, at its option, redeem all or a part of the Preferred Stock for the liquidation preference plus a make-whole premium. In addition, upon the occurrence of, among other things (i) any change of control, (ii) a liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, (iii) certain insolvency events, or (iv) certain asset sales, each holder may require the Company to redeem for cash all of such holder's then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock. In addition, each holder of Preferred Stock may require the Company to purchase all or any portion of such holder’s shares of Preferred Stock on or after May 1, 2024. On May 1, 2029, the Preferred Stock will be subject to mandatory redemption for an amount equal to the liquidation preference, unless waived by the holders. The Certificate of Designation limits the Company's ability to incur additional debt or any other security ranking pari passu with or senior to the Preferred Stock, other than in (a) an amount not to exceed $300 million on a cumulative basis or (b) subject to an incurrence-based leverage test, subject to other customary carve-outs. The Certificate of Designation also sets forth certain limitations on the Company’s ability to declare or make certain dividends and distributions and engage in certain reorganizations. Subject to certain exceptions, the holders of Preferred Stock have no voting power and no right to vote on any matter at any time, either as a separate series or class or together with any other series or class of shares of capital stock, and are not be entitled to call a meeting of such holders for any purpose, nor are they entitled to participate in any meeting of the holders of the Company’s common stock. However, if dividends on the Preferred Stock have not been paid, in cash, for twelve consecutive quarters, the holders of the Preferred Stock shall have the right to designate one member to the Company’s board of directors. On September 30, 2019 , the Company paid a cash dividend of $1.5 million . As of September 30, 2019 , the liquidation preference of the Preferred Stock was approximately $46.1 million .

BASIS OF PRESENTATION (Policies

BASIS OF PRESENTATION (Policies)	9 Months Ended
	Sep. 30, 2019
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Preparation of Interim Financial Statements	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries and, prior to the Separation, give effect to allocations of expenses from iHeartMedia to the Company. These allocations, which ceased at the time of Separation, 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 policies of the company are accounted for under the equity method. All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated in the consolidation process.
New Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted	New Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted Leases The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-02, Leases , which created Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 842, and all subsequent ASUs relating to this Topic (collectively, "ASC Topic 842") as of January 1, 2019. This new lease accounting standard, which supersedes previous lease accounting guidance under U.S. GAAP (ASC Topic 840), results in significant changes to the balance sheets of lessees, most significantly by requiring the recognition of a right-of-use ("ROU") asset and lease liability by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases. Lessor accounting is also updated to align with certain changes in the lessee model and the revenue recognition standard (ASC Topic 606), which was adopted in 2018. The Company applied the transition provisions of this standard at January 1, 2019 following the optional transition method provided by ASU 2018-11; consequently, the consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements for periods before the date of adoption continue to be presented in accordance with ASC Topic 840. In addition, the Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which allowed us to not reassess whether expired or existing contracts are or contain leases and to carry forward the historical lease classification for those leases that commenced prior to the date of adoption. Upon adoption of ASC Topic 842, prepaid and deferred rent balances, which were historically presented separately, were combined and presented net within the ROU asset. Additionally, deferred gains related to previous transactions that were historically accounted for as sale and operating leasebacks in accordance with ASC Topic 840 were recognized as a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity, resulting in an increase to equity, net of tax, of $14.6 million . Adoption of this new standard had a material impact on our consolidated balance sheets, but it did not have a material impact on our other consolidated financial statements. Additionally, the standard requires disclosures to meet the objective of enabling users of the financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. Refer to Note 2 , Revenue , and Note 3 , Leases , for more information. Intangible Assets and Goodwill During the first quarter of 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment , which eliminates the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Instead, entities shall record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit's carrying amount over its fair value (limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit). The standard is mandatory for annual and interim impairment tests performed for periods beginning after December 15, 2019; however, the Company early adopted the guidance under ASU 2017-04 beginning on January 1, 2019 on a prospective basis. Although the implementation of ASU 2017-04 resulted in a change to our accounting policy around the calculation of goodwill impairment, it did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 4 for more information about our annual goodwill impairment test, which is performed as of July 1 of each year. During the third quarter of 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract . This update requires that a customer in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract follow the internal-use software guidance in ASC Subtopic 350-40 to determine which implementation costs to capitalize as assets. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019; however, the Company early adopted the guidance under ASU 2018-15 beginning on January 1, 2019 on a prospective basis. The implementation of ASU 2018-15 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted Financial Instruments In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses , which requires a reporting entity to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments and present assets held at amortized cost and available-for-sale debt securities at the amount expected to be collected. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
