iHeart gets only pennies on the dollar for their available tower real estate in this deal.
Doesn’t even make a dent in their $20.4 billion debt.

This hasn’t been addressed publicly but should iHeart sell any of these stations where the towers are being sold – how would that be handled going forward.
Things are so bad it’s either selling assets or this unthinkable option.
