Randy Michaels

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Randy Michaels (born Benjamin Homel) is an American broadcaster and entrepreneur. Although he began his career as an on-air personality (where he received the name "Randy Michaels"), he is principally known for building the Jacor radio station group, and later becoming the head of Clear Channel Communications' radio group after it merged with Jacor. After leaving Clear Channel in 2002, he again became involved in the radio business, acquiring syndication rights to a number of talk radio programs including The Ed Schultz Show, and participating in Federal Communications Commission spectrum auctions for new commercial FM radio stations in a number of small communities.

In addition to broadcasting, Michaels is also involved in the restaurant business in the Cincinnati, Ohio area, his long-time home.
