  - "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
