Accounting Policies [Abstract]
BASIS OF PRESENTATION	BASIS OF PRESENTATION Preparation of Interim Financial Statements The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries, as well as entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest or for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. 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. The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “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 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on February 24, 2022. Certain prior period amounts in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows have been reclassified to conform to the 2022 presentation. Use of Estimates The Company’s consolidated financial statements presented herein reflect estimates and assumptions made by management that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. Such estimates and assumptions affect, among other things, the Company’s goodwill, long-lived assets and indefinite-lived intangible assets; operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities; assessment of the annual effective tax rate; valuation of deferred income taxes and income tax contingencies; defined-benefit plan obligations; the allowance for credit losses; assessment of lease and non-lease contract expenses; measurement of compensation cost for bonus and other compensation plans; and litigation accruals. Asset Acquisitions During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company completed several acquisitions of out-of-home advertising assets, which included permits, land, permanent easements and digital billboard structures, for total cash consideration of $52.0 million. New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted Reference Rate Reform For the last several years, there has been an ongoing effort amongst regulators, standard setters, financial institutions and other market participants to replace interbank offered rates, including the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), with alternative reference rates. In the United States (“U.S.”), the Alternative Reference Rates Committee has formally recommended forward-looking Secured Overnight Financing Rate term rates as the replacement for USD LIBOR, while various other risk-free rates have been selected to replace LIBOR for other currencies. After December 31, 2021, the ICE Benchmark Administration, LIBOR’s administrator, ceased publication of certain LIBOR rates, and the remaining USD LIBOR rates will be published through June 30, 2023. The Company will continue to work with the administrative agents of its Senior Secured Credit Facilities and Receivables-Based Credit Facility to agree on replacement rates but does not expect the replacement of LIBOR to result in a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04, Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting , in order to ease the potential burden of accounting for reference rate reform initiatives. The update provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP contract modification accounting to contracts and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met and may be applied through December 31, 2022. The Company is assessing whether it will use these optional expedients and exceptions but does not expect adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures. The Company will continue to monitor and assess regulatory developments during the transition period. ASU 2021-10 In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance , which requires disclosures that increase the transparency of certain transactions with governments. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021 and may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. The Company does not expect to be materially impacted by the implementation of this ASU.

SEGMENT DATA

SEGMENT DATA	9 Months Ended
	Sep. 30, 2022
Segment Reporting [Abstract]
SEGMENT DATA	SEGMENT DATA The Company has two reportable segments, which it believes best reflect how the Company is currently managed: Americas and Europe. The Americas segment consists of operations primarily in the U.S., and the Europe segment consists of operations in Europe and Singapore. The Company’s remaining operating segment, Latin America, does not meet the quantitative threshold to qualify as a reportable segment and is disclosed as “Other” herein. Each segment provides out-of-home advertising services in its respective geographic region using various digital and traditional display types, consisting primarily of billboards, street furniture displays and transit displays. Segment Adjusted EBITDA is the profitability metric reported to the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) for purposes of making decisions about allocation of resources to, and assessing performance of, each reportable segment. Segment Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as revenue less direct operating expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses, excluding restructuring and other costs, which are defined as costs associated with cost-saving initiatives such as severance, consulting and termination costs and other special costs. Segment information for total assets is not presented as this information is not used by the Company’s CODM in measuring segment performance or allocating resources between the Company’s segments. The following table presents the Company’s reportable segment results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021: (In thousands) Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 2021 2022 2021 Revenue Americas $ 346,519 $ 319,020 $ 987,790 $ 802,524 Europe 239,197 262,568 736,616 659,216 Other 17,191 14,828 47,569 36,666 Total $ 602,907 $ 596,416 $ 1,771,975 $ 1,498,406 Capital Expenditures Americas $ 21,584 $ 15,857 $ 69,620 $ 39,988 Europe 16,856 12,992 43,590 30,298 Other 1,106 862 2,212 3,082 Corporate 3,764 2,961 8,996 9,070 Total $ 43,310 $ 32,672 $ 124,418 $ 82,438 Segment Adjusted EBITDA Americas $ 144,739 $ 139,086 $ 403,829 $ 330,527 Europe 15,095 31,271 45,863 (34,614) Other 2,598 425 3,689 (4,321) Total $ 162,432 $ 170,782 $ 453,381 $ 291,592 Reconciliation of Segment Adjusted EBITDA to Consolidated Net Loss Before Income Taxes Segment Adjusted EBITDA $ 162,432 $ 170,782 $ 453,381 $ 291,592 Less reconciling items: Corporate expenses (1) 37,433 41,806 120,159 113,576 Depreciation and amortization 57,846 65,600 178,830 190,019 Impairment charges 871 — 22,676 118,950 Restructuring and other costs (2) 1,521 17,231 3,180 36,000 Other operating expense (income), net 3,764 (2,422) 220 (4,045) Interest expense, net 92,878 84,276 262,270 267,211 Other reconciling items (3) 27,857 11,973 60,091 104,545 Consolidated net loss before income taxes $ (59,738) $ (47,682) $ (194,045) $ (534,664) (1) Corporate expenses include expenses related to infrastructure and support, including information technology, human resources, legal, finance and administrative functions of each of the Company’s reportable segments, as well as overall executive, administrative and support functions.

REVENUE

REVENUE	9 Months Ended
	Sep. 30, 2022
Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
REVENUE	REVENUEThe Company generates revenue primarily from the sale of advertising space on printed and digital out-of-home advertising displays. 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.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Legal Proceedings 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, employment and benefits related claims, land use and zoning disputes, governmental fines, intellectual property claims and tax disputes. China Investigation Two former employees of Clear Media Limited (“Clear Media”), a former indirect, non-wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, have been convicted in China of certain crimes, including the crime of misappropriation of Clear Media funds, and sentenced to imprisonment. The Company is not aware of any litigation, claim or assessment pending against the Company in relation to this proceeding. The Company advised both the SEC and the U.S. Department of Justice (the "DOJ") of the investigation of Clear Media and is cooperating to provide documents, interviews and information to these agencies. Subsequent to the announcement that the Company was considering a strategic review of its stake in Clear Media, in March 2020, Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. received a subpoena from the staff of the SEC and a Grand Jury subpoena from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York, both in connection with the previously disclosed investigations. On April 28, 2020, the Company tendered the shares representing its 50.91% stake in Clear Media to Ever Harmonic Global Limited (“Ever Harmonic”), a special-purpose vehicle wholly-owned by a consortium of investors, which includes the chief executive officer and an executive director of Clear Media, and on May 14, 2020, the Company received the final proceeds of the sale. In connection with the sale of its shares in Clear Media, the Company entered into an Investigation and Litigation Support Agreement with Clear Media and Ever Harmonic that required Clear Media, if requested by the SEC and/or the DOJ, to use reasonable efforts to timely provide relevant factual information to the SEC and/or the DOJ, among other obligations. The Investigation and Litigation Support Agreement expired in March 2022. In connection with its investigation, the SEC has also requested information regarding the Company’s historical oversight of its business in Italy and the misstatements and related forensic investigation. The Company is cooperating to provide documents and information responsive to the SEC’s inquiries and is voluntarily sharing the documents and information with the DOJ. The SEC and DOJ 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. As previously disclosed, the Company is meeting with these agencies to engage in discussions about potential resolution of these matters, including potential settlement. Based on the discussions to date, the Company recorded an estimated liability during the first quarter of 2022 to account for a potential resolution of these matters. However, at this time, the Company cannot predict the eventual scope, duration or outcome of these discussions, including whether a settlement will be reached, the amount of any potential monetary payments or the scope of injunctive or other relief, the results of which may be materially adverse to the Company, its financial condition and its results of operations. At this time, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate, or provide any assurance regarding, the amount of any potential loss in excess of the amount accrued relating to this investigation.

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]
COST-SAVINGS INITIATIVES	COST-SAVINGS INITIATIVES Restructuring Plan to Reduce Headcount During 2020, the Company committed to a restructuring plan to reduce headcount in its Europe segment, upon which it continued to execute through the fourth quarter of 2021 when the impacted employees were terminated. In 2022, it was determined that certain costs would be less than previously estimated due to former employees no longer being eligible for severance upon finding alternative employment in accordance with the terms of the restructuring plan, resulting in a net reversal of these costs during the period. Remaining costs associated with this restructuring plan are not expected to be significant. The following table presents net costs incurred (reversed) in the Company’s Europe segment in connection with this restructuring plan during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 and since the plan was initiated: (In thousands) Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, Total to date 2022 2021 2022 2021 September 30, Costs incurred (reversed) in Europe segment, net: Direct operating expenses (1) $ (86) $ 7,984 $ (239) $ 17,119 $ 16,458 Selling, general and administrative expenses (1) 872 8,322 1,405 16,398 23,867 Total charges, net $ 786 $ 16,306 $ 1,166 $ 33,517 $ 40,325 (1) Costs are categorized as Restructuring and other costs and are therefore excluded from Segment Adjusted EBITDA. Additionally, the Company recognized corporate costs related to this restructuring plan of $1.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company reversed $0.5 million of these costs. As of September 30, 2022, the total liability related to this restructuring plan was $10.1 million.

Share-Based Compensation On May 4, 2022, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors approved grants of 5.2 million restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and 1.8 million performance stock units (“PSUs”) to certain of its employees. • The RSUs generally vest in three equal annual installments on each of April 1, 2023, April 1, 2024 and April 1, 2025, provided that the recipient is still employed by, or providing services to, the Company on each such 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 April 1, 2022 and ending on March 31, 2025 (the “Performance Period”). If the Company achieves Relative TSR at the 90 th percentile or higher, the PSUs will be earned at 150% of the target number of shares; if the Company achieves Relative TSR at the 60 th percentile, the PSUs will be earned at 100% of the target number of shares; if the Company achieves Relative TSR at the 30 th percentile, the PSUs will be earned at 50% of the target number of shares; and if the Company achieves Relative TSR below the 30 th percentile, no PSUs will be earned. To the extent Relative TSR is between achievement levels, the portion of the PSUs that is earned will be determined using straight-line interpolation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Company’s absolute total shareholder return over the Performance Period is less than 0%, the maximum payout shall not be greater than 100% of the target number of shares. The PSUs are considered market-condition awards pursuant to ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share .

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Preparation of Interim Financial Statements	Preparation of Interim Financial Statements The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries, as well as entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest or for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. 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. The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “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 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on February 24, 2022. Certain prior period amounts in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows have been reclassified to conform to the 2022 presentation.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The Company’s consolidated financial statements presented herein reflect estimates and assumptions made by management that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. Such estimates and assumptions affect, among other things, the Company’s goodwill, long-lived assets and indefinite-lived intangible assets; operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities; assessment of the annual effective tax rate; valuation of deferred income taxes and income tax contingencies; defined-benefit plan obligations; the allowance for credit losses; assessment of lease and non-lease contract expenses; measurement of compensation cost for bonus and other compensation plans; and litigation accruals.
New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted	New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted Reference Rate Reform For the last several years, there has been an ongoing effort amongst regulators, standard setters, financial institutions and other market participants to replace interbank offered rates, including the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), with alternative reference rates. In the United States (“U.S.”), the Alternative Reference Rates Committee has formally recommended forward-looking Secured Overnight Financing Rate term rates as the replacement for USD LIBOR, while various other risk-free rates have been selected to replace LIBOR for other currencies. After December 31, 2021, the ICE Benchmark Administration, LIBOR’s administrator, ceased publication of certain LIBOR rates, and the remaining USD LIBOR rates will be published through June 30, 2023. The Company will continue to work with the administrative agents of its Senior Secured Credit Facilities and Receivables-Based Credit Facility to agree on replacement rates but does not expect the replacement of LIBOR to result in a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04, Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting , in order to ease the potential burden of accounting for reference rate reform initiatives. The update provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP contract modification accounting to contracts and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met and may be applied through December 31, 2022. The Company is assessing whether it will use these optional expedients and exceptions but does not expect adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures. The Company will continue to monitor and assess regulatory developments during the transition period. ASU 2021-10 In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance , which requires disclosures that increase the transparency of certain transactions with governments. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021 and may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. The Company does not expect to be materially impacted by the implementation of this ASU.
