o Report: Private Equity Firms in Talks to Acquire Radio Giant Clear Channel

San Antonio, Texas - Clear Channel Communications, which owns 1,200 radio stations, 40 TV stations and an outdoor advertising business, has retained Goldman Sachs to consider strategic alternatives, which analysts say include a possible sale to take the company private. The New York Times reported that private equity groups Providence Equity Partners, Blackstone and KKR are currently in talks to acquire Clear Channel for more than $18.5 billion, citing "people involved in the talks." San Antonio, Texas-based Clear Channel has a market capitalization of about $16 billion.

o Judge in Napster Copyright Case Says Hummer Winblad Destroyed E-mails

San Francisco - A federal judge has ruled that Silicon Valley venture capital firm Hummer Winblad exhibited "gross negligence" when it directed employees to destroy e-mails related to its dealings with Napster in 2000, the Los Angeles Times reported. U.S. District Court Judge Marilyn Hall Patel will tell jurors the deleted e-mails would have hurt the company's defense, if the copyright case brought by record labels and music publishers against Hummer Winblad and Bertelsmann -- two early Napster investors -- ever goes to trial. "As we have all been required to surrender our Napster e-mails, this should reinforce compliance with our long-standing policies," Ann Winblad wrote to employees, according to court documents. "We do not retain e-mails, it is your responsibility to delete your handled e-mails immediately."

o Report: Jack Welch and Jack Connors Exploring Acquisition of Boston Globe

Boston - The Boston Globe reports that Jack Welch, the former CEO of GE, and former advertising executive Jack Connors are part of a group that is considering making a bid for The Boston Globe, which is owned by The New York Times Company. The article said that the executives are working with JPMorgan Chase on analyzing a possible deal, which could value the newspaper at $550 - $600 million. The New York Times bought The Boston Globe in 1993 for $1.1 billion. "Welch, who grew up in Salem and moved to Boston in his retirement, and Connors, co-founder of the Boston advertising firm Hill Holliday, are looking to assemble a small group of local business people for a bid that would include debt and equity, the executives involved in the effort say," the article said. "Each man has tentatively committed $25 million to the deal, the executives say."
