*It’s another one of those weeks where we dread writing this column, because it’s nothing but bad news to lead things off.
On Thursday, Audacy pulled the trigger on massive job cuts across most of its markets nationwide, dismissing about 200 employees around the country as it struggles to emerge from its recent bankruptcy.
“We are streamlining resources to stay competitive in a rapidly evolving media landscape and to best position Audacy to continue serving listeners and advertisers with excellence,” said an Audacy spokesperson in a statement that didn’t confirm the exact number of jobs being cut – but as the dismissed employees went public with their news, our colleague Lance Venta at RadioInsight has been compiling a comprehensive list, assisted by reporting from RAMP and other sources.
Here’s what we know so far:
THE CLOCK IS TICKING…
As we announced a few weeks ago, the 2026 edition of the Tower Site Calendar will be the last.
We began publishing it 25 years ago, and the broadcast landscape is radically different now.
Radio World just ran an excellent article about us if you want to know more.
Once it’s gone, that’s it. We won’t be printing any more.
Thank you to everyone who saw our announcement and rushed to buy it. We appreciate you.
(There are some calendars from previous years if you want more of a tower photo fix — all under $5.)
But don’t wait to get this year’s Tower Site Calendar — buy it now!
We are selling the Broadcast Historian’s Calendar again this year, but we have that in an even smaller quantity — definitely don’t hesitate for that.
And visit the Fybush Media Store to check out our selection of books and videos, too!
