NORFOLK, Va. – We’re on the road again, taking an actual full-fledged radio road trip for the first time in more than a year, and it sure does feel nice to be somewhere other than upstate New York for a bit.
As we enjoy our travels (and collect some great new sites to share with you on Site of the Week later this year), you’ll forgive us, we hope, if the column’s stories are a little more abbreviated than usual this week.
For instance, we’d normally devote more space here to the retirements of several veteran newspeople all at once at several of Audacy’s big all-news stations inherited from the old CBS Radio.
Is this part of a bigger set of cutbacks at Audacy? We don’t know yet, but we’re following closely and we hope to have more once we’re back at home base next week.
