UPDATE: This list will be updated as new names come in…
———–
The following is a list of all the Clear Channel employees we know to have been cut this week in Ohio.
There are some new names on the list, that we haven’t yet reported, and still some unconfirmed names.
For the most part, this list contains names on-air or programming department employees laid off at the company’s stations starting Monday.
It’s our belief that each cluster lost at least one or two off-air employees. If we know that information, we’ll pass it along. If we don’t, assume there are others not listed.
There are some markets here where we’re hearing rumblings (Lima, Ashland/Mansfield, etc.) that haven’t been confirmed yet.
And as such, rather unfortunately, even late at night, we can’t guarantee that this approaches a final list. Last time Clear Channel went on a Mad Layoff Spree in January, we were getting updates well into the next day…
