[edit] History
They are also the oldest outdoor advertising company in the United States as their roots traces back to the three names that merged into the current incarnation: Foster & Kleiser (1901-1986), Patrick Media Outdoor (1986-1995) and Eller Media Company (1959-1997). F&K changed their name to Patrick after Metromedia sold the company which in turn was acquired by Eller in 1995. It would change its name to Clear Channel Outdoor in 2001 after the company acquired it.
Along the way these former companies would be added to their acquisition (which includes the F&K, Patrick, Eller and Clear Channel years):
