This excerpt taken from the CCO 8-K filed Dec 18, 2009.

Additional restrictions on outdoor advertising of tobacco, alcohol and other products may further restrict the categories of clients that can advertise using our products.

Out-of-court settlements between the major United States tobacco companies and all 50 states, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and four other United States territories include a ban on the outdoor advertising of tobacco products. Other products and services may be targeted in the future, including alcohol products. Legislation regulating tobacco and alcohol advertising has also been introduced in a number of European countries in which we conduct business and could have a similar impact. Any significant reduction in alcohol-related advertising due to content-related restrictions could cause a reduction in our direct revenue from such advertisements and an increase in the available space on the existing inventory of billboards in the outdoor advertising industry.

STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:6%">We may be adversely affected by a general deterioration in economic conditions.

STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:6%">The risks associated with our businesses become more acute in periods of a slowing economy or recession, which may be accompanied by a decrease in
advertising. A decline in the level of business activities of our advertisers could have an adverse effect on our revenue and profit margins. During economic slowdowns in the United States, many advertisers have reduced their advertising
expenditures. The impact of slowdowns on our business is difficult to predict, but they may result in reductions in purchases of advertising. In addition, to the extent our street furniture and transit businesses rely on long-term guaranteed
contracts with government entities, we may suffer losses on those contracts in times of economic slowdowns.
