Gap Broadcasting Group was a group of companies that owned around 116 broadcast stations (including 1 low-power television station and 5 low-power stations) in 23 radio markets in northwestern and central southern United States in the late 2000s. Managed by Oaktree Capital Management, the group acquired mainly stations from Clear Channel Communications (now iHeartMedia as of late 2014) in the mid-sized radio markets that Clear Channel was exiting. All Gap Broadcasting Group stations were acquired by Oaktree's Townsquare Media in August 2010.

Operating companies Gap Broadcasting, which became Gap Central Broadcasting and was also known as Gap I, was based in Dallas, Texas and acquired stations in the south-central states of Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas. It also owned Class A television station KJEF-CA at Jennings, Louisiana. GapWest Broadcasting, also known as Gap II, was based in Greenwood Village, Colorado and acquired stations in 13 markets in Idaho, Minnesota, Montana, Washington, and Wyoming. A third operating company, Gap Broadcasting III or GAP East, was founded in 2009 to acquire stations east of the Mississippi River, but ended up without any acquisitions.
