Inside Music MediaJerry Del Colliano

You know the drill.

iHeartMedia never publicly admits to firing anyone but somehow bodies drop so often you wonder how they pull this disappearing act off.

It pisses off the fine and dedicated people who are being let go because of Bob Pittman’s inability to compete as a radio company.

And that’s kind of ironic. Pittman changes the company name to iHeartMedia (not radio) and then either sells off or is in the process of selling off the “media” part (their outdoor division, for example). He’s left with radio whether he likes it or not.

Every time someone goes down, I usually get a notice from the market and sometimes the firings are so blatant and so obvious you have to wonder what the happy talk trade press is writing about if this isn’t important enough.

So with the help of some of my Repeater Reporters, here is how iHeart fires under the radar.

If you look closely at it, you can see the trend.

Can you see which positions they value least and which ones they fire last.

And predict who is going to be next.
