Clear Channel to offer video podcasts
Clear Channel is planning to experiment with video podcasts of its radio stars, and conservative talk-show host Rush Limbaugh is set to be the first. Fans belonging to the Rush 24/7 club--which costs $7 a month and allows users access to commercial-free podcasts of the show, among other perks--will be able to get a daily 60-second videocast starting next month, according to a report from the Wall Street Journal. Media companies are racing to get their content to customers in new ways, and video podcasting is currently in the experimental stages as TiVo, Walt Disney, Time Warner, and others proceed to test the waters. Clear Channel hopes that the video podcasts will drive up fan loyalty. If the test-run is successful, it plans on expanding its video podcasts to other programs. [subscription required]

Than load Rush Limpballs on my iPod.
