Has Clear Channel Acquired RCS?

A source close to the situation tells R&R that Clear Channel on Tuesday acquired White Plains, NY-based Radio Computing Services, a provider of scheduling and broadcast software to radio, for an undisclosed price. Company founder Dr. Andrew Economos is no longer involved in the company's day-to-day operations, the source said. Calls to Clear Channel and RCS representatives were made after hours and not returned by press time.
RCS was founded in 1979 and among its products is the popular Selector music-scheduling system. RCS also provides non-musical elements such as jingles and promos via its Linker scheduling system and owns the Master Control digital automation system. As of 2005 RCS had roughly 7,000 clients worldwide.
