Per one trade "it's the mother of all layoffs". Hard to believe given the workforce but a shadow of what it was even 10 years ago.

IHR cuts underway in multiple markets
Re: IHR cuts underway in multiple markets
WONE 980 loses their only local host.
Re: IHR cuts underway in multiple markets
Any of the three on air host in Toledo let go? Market manager? Promotions director? Will Cumulus follow? Will Fred and Rick "retire" this year?

WOW! Just when I thought they couldn't cut anymore. Didn't even wait until after the election results came in. Right before the holidays, too.

Re: IHR cuts underway in multiple markets
when does "right before the holidays" start for you? Like August 1st? (I am making the assumption that "the holidays" is Christmas/Hanakukh (sp?)/Zwanza/new years, and not Thanksgiving.80sTalkRadioFan wrote: ↑Tue Nov 05, 2024 8:25 am WOW!

after Thanksgiving, sure..... but early November?..... NOPE
Re: IHR cuts underway in multiple markets
So far... Toledo untouched. at least no mention in the trades; Radioinsight or Ramp.

What’s the replacement? Sean Hannity?

wow, didn't think we'd get even closer to Johny, Denny and Andrew Z being the only live and local personalities left in Toledo before 2024 was over.

Re: IHR cuts underway in multiple markets
Sounds like Cumulus is at least a little better than iHeart in Toledo.
Re: IHR cuts underway in multiple markets
Damn I though Fed before Scott Sands.

Re: IHR cuts underway in multiple markets
Hannity is on in PM drive. Not sure if Joe Pags is still in the evening slot...he was let go from WOAI San Antonio, and I don't see WSPD on the Compass affiliate list.
I wonder if Sands would be a good fit for middays on WJR? The Kevin Dietz/Marie Osborne gab fest is unlistenable. Scott could probably do the show from his condo in the Commodore Perry.

Pags is still doing the syndicated version of his show.

Re: IHR cuts underway in multiple markets
I've long thought Hannity in afternoons on WSPD was inevitable, since the Guardians air in the evenings over 100 times a year.
That'd be cool if Scott landed on WJR. I didn't agree with him on many many things but it was a solid local show and he made it fun at times instead of just bludgeoning the listener with politics like Brian Wilson did before him.
