*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.

It’s an integrated suite that brings together automation playout, scheduling, archiving, remote connectivity, apps and streaming, for full buyout or monthly payments with ongoing support, all at a price that’s probably less than what you’re spending now.
