newsbot 271 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 A substantial number of jobs got eliminated today at the radio behemoth including massive air talent layoffs. The carnage is so extensive that all air talent references have been removed from iHeart Radio websites. https://radioinsight.com/headlines/183270/ongoing-list-of-those-affected-by-iheartmedia-cuts/ Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17492-major-job-cuts-at-iheart-radio/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRob 937 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I'm surprised iHeart had that many people left to cut. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17492-major-job-cuts-at-iheart-radio/#findComment-238781 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yankees4life 558 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 2 hours ago, Samantha said: Scripps gets nailed with a $1.13 million fine from the FCC in an investigation from the ex-Cordillera stations over tower lighting and maintenance at 10 facilities in 5 states. Cordillera also had failed to notify the FCC of its purchase of two antenna structures.

hmaxhanson 650 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Trying to stave off the inevitable bankruptcy and liquidation for another year. The question is, how much longer will it last?

newsbot 271 Posted January 15, 2020 Author Share Posted January 15, 2020 iHeart has already been through bankruptcy court. John Malone is trying to buy them but is facing stiff regulatory opposition. Frankly I don't see how he would be any worse than the jokers who own them now.

tyrannical bastard 3950 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 I hate to say it, with all of the veteran talent being cut, but this is what the endgame of iHeart will become....

10Viewer 334 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 WTVN in Columbus has, IIRC, a grand total of 3 people in their news department and now has 2 sports people. They seem to air news from other markets during their top and bottom of the hours news breaks. Sometimes it'll be entirely Toledo area news or northeast Ohio.

DENDude 217 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 I wonder if we will see a big shift in ratings because of the cuts? It will be interesting to see if that happens or not. On a side note, these cuts made me think of this... I saw this years ago.. What would happen if Clear Channel (now I-Heart) took over radio station WWV.
