Clear Channel Radio has re-inked with radio personality and "American Idol" host Ryan Seacrest, locking in the Star 98.7 disc jockey through the end of 2005.

As part of Seacrest's deal, he will travel airwaves to Clear Channel sibling 102.7 KIIS-FM to serve as an official fill-in host for Rick Dees on the "Rick Dees in the Morning Show." Seacrest will also continue hosting duties on Star's "Ryan Seacrest for the Ride Home."

The KIIS-FM gig marks the first time Clear Channel has named an official backup for Dees.

Seacrest, who is repped by Seattle-based radio agent Paul B. Anderson and the William Morris Agency, returns Tuesday as the solo host for the sophomore edition of Fox's "American Idol."
