Local iHeartRadio Firings

[Freqman]

As part of a nationwide restructuring, cuts have begun. Local jock pages have been removed from station websites across the country while the layoffs take place.

Locally Dave Conrad of B93 has confirmed he's no longer employed via his facebook page. Other cuts reported in building, but not confirmed.

So sorry for Conrad. Exchanging what’s worked for what iHeart thinks will work in the future? Given its decision-making track record, count on continued poor investments, bland programming, and the inability to attract an audience that means something.

This might go down as the worst single day in the history of radio.

What is even scarier is that radio is a copycat business. Iheart has established a new model for others to follow. It is more likely to get worse.

So sad! It’s hard to believe radio could get worse!

Hope to hear him back on the radio again soon.

I will be very curious to see if B-93 and WOOD radio's ratings stronghold remains in the next few months... Conrad is a significant loss for that station and Rick Albin was a great addition to the morning show. I have a feeling the tides could begin to turn. I can't help but wonder if this could be the break that Thunder 107.3 needs... now is the time for them to promote the heck out of their station...

Mark Dixon with 30 plus years on WMUS is also gone.

How many friends or former co-workers can you spot?

Seems like a sizable number of those that were let go had many years in. It makes me wonder if there were some buyouts for the longer-tenured employees.
