CLEAR CHANNEL WATCHERS LOOK FOR PLAN B
[SOURCE: Reuters, AUTHOR: Sue Zeidler]

Lee Partners LP. Opposition to the deal has been mounting, with various analysts saying investors deserve more than the current offer of $37.60 a share, and the deal needs two-thirds of votes cast by shareholders to pass.
