Just 10 days after eliminating over 1,000 radio jobs – mostly programming positions – iHeart is at work on a second reduction of force.
There is the expected takeover of iHeart by Liberty Media but why would iHeart do Liberty’s dirty work?
With 12,500 employees – including part-timers – now down to just above 11,000, how is it even possible that such a massive platform of 150 clusters, 850+ stations and related businesses be reduced any further?
They have a plan for that.
