The pace of the layoffs at iHEARTMEDIA picked up YESTERDAY (NET NEWS 9/30) according to reports as the company tries to get a handle on declining revenues due to the continuing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy.
That lead to iHEARTMEDIA having to make the painful decision to let some already-furloughed staff go due to economics and the fact that working from home had made the need for some of those jobs tougher to justify, as detailed TUESDAY (9/29) in a company wide memo from iHEARTMEDIA Chairman/CEO BOB PITTMAN and CFO/COO RICH BRESSLER (NET NEWS 9/29).
Many of these talented professionals are very interested in continuing to work in radio, so please reach out to them and see if you have something in your company or station that they could fit into.
