Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis Of Presentation [Text Block]	NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION Preparation of Interim Financial Statements The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared by Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) pursua nt 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 discl osures 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 r ead in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K. All references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “we,” “us” and “our” refer to the Company and its consolidate d subsidiaries. Our reportable segments are Americas outdoor advertising (“Americas”) and International outdoor a dvertising (“International”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries and give effect to allocations of expenses from the Company’s indirect parent entity, iHeart Communications, Inc. (“iHeartCommunications”). These allocations were made on a specifically identifiable basis or using relative percentages of headcount or other methods managem ent 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. Investment s 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 c ompany are accounted for under the equity method. All significant intercompany transa ctions are eliminated in the consolidation process. Certain prior-period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2016 presentation. New Accounting Pronouncements During the first quarter of 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810), Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis . This new standard eliminates the deferral of FAS 167, which has allowed entities with interest in certain investment funds to follow the previous consolidation guidance in FIN 46(R) and makes other changes to both the variable interest model and the voting model. The standard is effective for annual periods, and for interim periods within t hose annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. During the second quarter of 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest-Imputati on of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs . This update simplifies the presentation of debt issuance costs as a deduction from the carrying value of the outstanding debt balance rather than showing the debt issuan ce costs as an asset. The standard is effective for annual periods, and for interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. The retrospective adoption of this guidance resulted in the reclassification of debt issuance cost s of $48.2 million and $50.4 million as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively , which are now reflected as “Long-term debt fees” in Note 3 . During the third quarter of 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) : Deferral of the Effective Date . This update provides a one-year deferral of the effective date for ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers . ASU No. 2014-09 provides guidance for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of revenue resul ting from contracts with customers and will supersede virtually all of the current revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The standard is effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of this new standard on its financial position and results of operations. During the third quarter of 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the A ccounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments . This update eliminates the requirement for an acquirer in a business combination to account for measurement-period adjustments retrospectively. Instead, acquirers must recognize measurement-period adjustments d uring the period in which they determine the amounts, including the effect on earnings of any amounts they would have recorded in previous periods if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The standard is effective for fiscal years begi nning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. During the first quarter of 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The new leasing standard presents significant changes to the balance sheets of lessees. Lessor accounting is updated to align with certain changes in the lessee model an d the new revenue recognition standard which was issued in the third quarter of 2015 . The standard is effective for annual periods, and for interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of this new standard on its financial position and results of operations .

Property, Plant And Equipment, Intangible Assets And Goodwill [Text Block]	NOTE 2 – PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT, INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWI L L Dispositions During the first quarter of 2016, Americas outdoor sold nine non-strategic outdoor markets including Cleveland and Columbus, Ohio, Des Moines, Iowa, Ft. Smith, Arkansas, Memphis, Tennessee, Portland, Oregon, Reno, Nevada, Seattle, Washington and Wichita, Kansas for net proceeds , including cash and certain advertising assets in Florida, of $596.6 million . The Company recognized a net gain of $281.7 m illion related to the sale, which is included within Other operating income (expense), net . During the first quarter of 2016, Americas outdoor also entered into an agreement to sell its Indianapolis, Indiana market in exchange for certain assets in Atlanta, Georgia , p lus approximately $41.2 million in cash . The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and is expected to close in 2016. This transaction has met the criteria to be classified as held-for-sale and as such, the related assets are separately presented o n the face of the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Property, Plant and Equipment The Company’s property, plant and equipment consisted of the following classes of assets as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. (In thousands) March 31, December 31, 2016 2015 Land, buildings and improvements $ 163,733 $ 167,739 Structures 2,799,699 2,824,794 Furniture and other equipment 157,479 156,046 Construction in progress 54,158 54,701 3,175,069 3,203,280 Less: accumulated depreciation 1,596,974 1,575,294 Property, plant and equipment, net $ 1,578,095 $ 1,627,986 Intangible Assets The Company’s indefinite-lived intangible assets consist primarily of billboard permits. Due to significant differences in both business practices and regulations, billboards in the International segment are subject to long-term, finite contracts unlike the Company’s permits in the United States and Canada. Accordingly, there are no indefinite-lived intangible assets in the International segment. Other intangible assets include definite-lived intangible assets and permanent easements. The Company’s definite-lived intangible assets primarily include transit and street furniture contracts, site-leases and other contractual rights, all of which are amortized over the shorter of either the respective lives of the agreements or over the pe riod of time the assets are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to the Company’s future cash flows. Permanent easements are indefinite-lived intangible assets which include certain rights to use real property not owned by the Company. The Compa ny periodically reviews the appropriateness of the amortization periods related to its definite-lived intangible assets. These assets are recorded at cost. The following table presents the gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization for each major class of other intangible assets as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively: (In thousands) March 31, 2016 December 31, 2015 Gross Carrying Amount Accumulated Amortization Gross Carrying Amount Accumulated Amortization Transit, street furniture and other outdoor contractual rights $ 631,943 $ (458,829) $ 635,772 $ (457,060) Permanent easements 157,313 - 156,349 - Other 5,084 (1,609) 9,687 (1,884) Total $ 794,340 $ (460,438) $ 801,808 $ (458,944) Total amortization expense related to definite-lived intangible assets for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was $9.8 million and $14.7 million, respectively. As acquisitions and dispositions occur in the future, amortization expense may vary.

Commitments And Contingencies [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies [Text Block]	NOTE 4 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in certain legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business and, as required, have accrued an estimate of the probable costs for the resolution of those claims for which the occurrence of loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. These estimates have been developed in consultation with counsel and are based upon an analysis of potential results, assuming a combination of litigati on and settlement strategies. It is possible, however, that future results of operations for any particular period could be materially affected by changes in the Company’s assumptions or the effectiveness of its strategies related to these proceedings. A dditionally, due to the inherent uncertainty of litigation, there can be no assurance that the resolution of any particular claim or proceeding would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. Althoug h the Company is involved in a variety of legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, a large portion of the Company’s litigation arises in the following contexts: commercial disputes; misappropriation of likeness and right of publicity claims; employment an d benefits related claims; governmental fines; intellectual property claims; and tax disputes . International Outdoor Investigation On April 21, 2015, inspections were conducted at the premises of Clear Channel in Denmark and Sweden as part of an investigation by D anish competition authorities. Additionally, on the same day, Clear Channel UK received a communication from the UK competition authorities, also in connection with the investigation by Danish competition authorities. Clear Channel and its affiliates are cooperating with the national competition authorities .

Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
Related Party Transactions [Text Block]	NOTE 5 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS The Company records net amounts due from or to iHeartCommunications as “Due from/to iHeartCommunications” on the consolidated balance sheets. The accounts represent the revolving promissory note issued by the Company to iHeartCommunications and the revolving promissory note issued by iHeartCommunications to the Company in the face amount of $ 1.0 billion, or if more or less than such amount, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all advances. T he accounts accrue interest pursuant to the terms of the promissory notes and are generally payable on demand or when they mature on December 15, 2017. Included in the accounts are the net activities resulting from day-to-day cash management services prov ided by iHeartCommunications. As a part of these services, the Company maintains collection bank accounts swept daily into accounts of iHeartCommunications (after satisfying the funding requirements of the Trustee Accounts under the CCWH Senior Notes and the CCWH Subordinated Notes). In return, iHeartCommunications funds the Company’s controlled disbursement accounts as checks or electronic payments are presented for payment. The Company’s claim in relation to cash transferred from its concentration acco unt is on an unsecured basis and is limited to the balance of the “Due from iHeartCommunications” account. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , the asset recorded in “Due from iHeartCommunications” on the consolidated balance sheet was $ 640.1 million and $ 930.8 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2016 , the fixed interest rate on the “Due from iHeartCommunications ” account was 6.5 %, which is equal to the fixed interest rate on the CCWH Senior Notes. The net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was $12.7 million and $15.3 million, respectively. On February 4, the Company demanded the repayment of $300.0 million outstanding under the Due from iHeartCommunications note and used the repayment to partially fund a special cash dividend of $540.0 million, which was paid on February 4, 2016 . The Company provides advertising space on its billboards for radio stations owned by iHeartCommunications . For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded $0.3 million and $1.1 million, respectively, in revenue for these advertisements. Under the Corporate Services Agreement between iHeartCommunications and the Company, iHeartCommunications provides mana gement services to the Company, which include, 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; and (viii) other general corporate services. These services are charged to the Company based on actual direct costs incurred o r allocated by iHeartCommunications based on headcount, revenue or other factors on a pro rata basis. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded $9.3 million and $7.9 million, respectively, as a component of corporate expenses for these services. Pursuant to the Tax Matters Agreement between iHeartCommunications and the Company, the operations of the Company are inclu ded in a consolidated federal income tax return filed by iHeartCommunications. The Company’s provision for income taxes has been computed on the basis that the Company files separate consolidated federal income tax returns with its subsidiaries. Tax paym ents are made to iHeartCommunications on the basis of the Company’s separate taxable income. Tax benefits recognized on the Company’s employee stock option exercises are retained by the Company.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
New Accounting Pronouncements [Policy Text Block]	New Accounting Pronouncements During the first quarter of 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810), Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis . This new standard eliminates the deferral of FAS 167, which has allowed entities with interest in certain investment funds to follow the previous consolidation guidance in FIN 46(R) and makes other changes to both the variable interest model and the voting model. The standard is effective for annual periods, and for interim periods within t hose annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. During the second quarter of 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest-Imputati on of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs . This update simplifies the presentation of debt issuance costs as a deduction from the carrying value of the outstanding debt balance rather than showing the debt issuan ce costs as an asset. The standard is effective for annual periods, and for interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. The retrospective adoption of this guidance resulted in the reclassification of debt issuance cost s of $48.2 million and $50.4 million as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively , which are now reflected as “Long-term debt fees” in Note 3 . During the third quarter of 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) : Deferral of the Effective Date . This update provides a one-year deferral of the effective date for ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers . ASU No. 2014-09 provides guidance for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of revenue resul ting from contracts with customers and will supersede virtually all of the current revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The standard is effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of this new standard on its financial position and results of operations. During the third quarter of 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the A ccounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments . This update eliminates the requirement for an acquirer in a business combination to account for measurement-period adjustments retrospectively. Instead, acquirers must recognize measurement-period adjustments d uring the period in which they determine the amounts, including the effect on earnings of any amounts they would have recorded in previous periods if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The standard is effective for fiscal years begi nning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. During the first quarter of 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The new leasing standard presents significant changes to the balance sheets of lessees. Lessor accounting is updated to align with certain changes in the lessee model an d the new revenue recognition standard which was issued in the third quarter of 2015 . The standard is effective for annual periods, and for interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of this new standard on its financial position and results of operations .
