*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.
