On the heels of yesterday’s announcement of the upcoming shutdown of Westwood One News, Cumulus Media has begun a round of layoffs across the company.
In a video message to employees on Thursday, CEO Mary Berner stated that the cuts will impact 3% of the company’s staffing. The company, will however, end its rolling furloughs and paycuts that started in April.
So many companies seem to be getting to a point where you wouldn't think they can cut any more. Then this.
Anyone know of any cuts in GR?

While a handful of on-air people and programmers have been identified nationally, I suspect most of the headcount reduction will be concentrated within Westwood One.

Don't tease "radionut". Dish.
If I Heart GR really wanted to save money, it would sublet two of it's three floors at 77 Monroe Center.
