iHeartMedia Inc. last week filed a claim in U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, seeking nearly $186,000 from Cumulus for services provided by some of its radio stations and Premiere Networks, Radio World reported. Cumulus Media entered a prearranged bankruptcy proceeding last November with hopes that the voluntary chapter 11 filing will trim its debt by just over $1 billion. iHeartMedia says that Cumulus owes it for commercial spots placed by Westwood One Radio Network, which is owned by Cumulus, on a number of iHeartMedia radio stations, including WYNR(FM), WHFX(FM) and WQGA(FM) in Brunswick, Ga., according to filings in the docket summary for the bankruptcy proceeding. iHeartMedia also seeks payment for spots Westwood One placed on iHeartMedia stations in Houston and Dallas.
