Clear Channel's chief executive Kevin Mayer said at the Radio & Records Convention in L.A that the chain is set to begin testing Internet-only advertisements on some of its websites.

At issue, a 1999 union contract requiring advertising agencies to pay voice-over artists 300 percent of their normal fees if a radio commercial is simulcast on the web.

Clear Channel owns six stations in Syracuse including market leaders B104.7 and 570 WSYR.
