Looks like they’ve gone from annual layoffs to quarterly layoffs: Clear Channel has confirmed that a number of new job cuts have been made, in markets across the country. Six were let go in Nashville; Six in Columbus, OH; three in Oklahoma City and Total Traffic in Minneapolis has been shut down.

In a statement, Angel Aristone, VP/Marketing & Communications, Clear Channel Media + Entertainment, tells RBR-TVBR: “We are constantly evaluating our organization and structure to make sure we are as well positioned as possible to continue to lead in the evolving marketplace. We’ve been looking closely at our business to ensure that we are properly staffed and operating as efficiently as possible with the right balance of services and personnel to meet the needs of our listeners/consumers. Like every successful business, our strategy continues to evolve as we move forward as a company and that creates some new jobs, and unfortunately eliminates others. In the process, some employees were affected. These are never easy decisions to make; we thank them for their service and wish them all the best for the future.”

They can thank Rush for this.

1. They *are* thanking Rush. The BFI is still there.

2. That's what happens when they promote intolerant bigots like Limbaugh.

4. While I feel bad for the newly unemployed at clear channel, I can't help but say

That the so called "free market" is a bitch, isn't it.

I left a good paying job and started my own business several years ago and I was primarily motivated by my not having any respect for the "work" my employer did.

I would have not been able to be a cog in the wheel that made that raging pigboy possible.

5. Has the Corporate Radio Bubble burst yet?

In the near future I'm predicting a whole bunch of canceled right wing radio shows as the Republican Party has made it more clear that it is the party of the narcissistic 1% and religious wackos. Limbaugh's contract is up in 2016. I wonder if the Fluke controversy (as well as Rush turning 65 in 2016) will persuade Premiere Networks to avoid renewing Limbaugh in 2016?

6. 18 people were let go from a company with 20K+ employees? real news?

??????????????????

8. Yes. It is.

The cancer on radio is contracting, not expanding.

7. it needs to snowball

9. Fargo Area

Living in the Fargo area, one of the most popular FM stations was 102 the box. A Rock Station.
Clear Channel change the programming recently, Now its Fargos First FM Talk Radion Station featuring Rush Limbaugh, Hannity and a bunch of other crap. And they are being tuned out people are not happy about it.
