I really hate iheartradio. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 14, 11:51
Consolidating all the websites so they could be run by the CEO's 13-year-old son should have been a clue. -- nm - Mop Jan 14, 11:41
I'm not seeing anything official. Are they just getting rid of basically any on-air talent? -- nm - spamlet Jan 14, 11:07 18
- Here -- (link) - Remlik Jan 14, 11:09 12
  - And now a list starting... - Dark Callisto Jan 14, 11:28 1
    - If it had to end, I'm glad it ended at a Hooters in Jeffersonville. -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 14, 11:36
  - so more bob-style stuff and more stations where you are hearing a DJ thousands of miles away -- nm - ty97 Jan 14, 11:27 2
    - Meanwhile, my local non-commercial station is pretending it’s 1975 -- (link) - znufrii, human scum Jan 14, 11:46 1
      - Ooh, modernizing their playlist -- nm - Reagen Jan 14, 11:50
  - It lists 10 (!) Presidents, the COO and CEO. If only there were some other way they could have cut costs... -- nm - David Jan 14, 11:10 6
    - "there will be some employee dislocation -- some by geography and some by function -- which is the unfortunate price we pay to modernize the company." -- nm - who's this 'we' kemosabe? Jan 14, 11:55
    - get this..and this is a good scam...the head guy Pitt man...he owns a plane, that he leases to iheart so he can fly around. Thats $3 Mill a year -- nm - Remlik Jan 14, 11:14 4
      - That's 50 employees at $60k a year. This is why corporations suck. -- nm - David Jan 14, 11:17 3
        
        Is there a private equity fund involved -- nm - Berylorian Jan 14, 11:26 2
        
        They went bankrupt last year so probably. -- nm - spamlet Jan 14, 11:37 1
        
        Nobody liquidates the work force like equity firms. -- nm - David Jan 14, 11:53
- Not everybody. However, they're getting of enough people that they don't want blogs and bios live right now. -- nm - David Jan 14, 11:08 4
  - and they're consolidating down into clusters meaning people from out of the market will be voice tracking into cities they're not in -- nm - Remlik Jan 14, 11:09 3
    - I thought that was already largely being done? -- nm - spamlet Jan 14, 11:10 2
      - it was. But now they are full on embracing a run towards it. -- nm - Remlik Jan 14, 12:02
      - outside of the Bob/Jack FM etc no-DJ channels, I've only really seen 'out of market' DJs in a bit of syndication -- (edited) - ty97 Jan 14, 11:32
effin' robots -- nm - decline Jan 14, 11:06
Put another outdated business out to pasture. -- nm - Qale Jan 14, 11:05 4
- I was reading their social media earlier. It's like 70% blackpink/BTS. I'm not even joking. -- nm - David Jan 14, 11:09 3
  - That's why I couldn't find anything. Searching them on twitter was all spam. - spamlet Jan 14, 11:11 1
    - Yes, it's a strange combination of scheduled posts and listener/employee fury. -- nm - David Jan 14, 11:12
  - I didn’t mean to come across so impersonally glib. My anger is at the conglomerate, not the individuals. -- nm - Qale Jan 14, 11:11
oof. -- nm - Remlik Jan 14, 11:02 1
- and I just looked at the stations and yeah they did. Jesus. -- nm - Remlik Jan 14, 11:02
