CC Layoffs

It wouldn't be the holidays without layoffs at 4002 W Gandy Blvd. :-\

Judging from FB posts, it looks like Hannah's Boy Stu is out on BTP and I've heard the WFLA/DAE PD and WFUS PM Drive co-host Jenny Dean is gone but I haven't seen anything official. I'm sure the changes are already being updated on their websites.

Man, used to be if you made it to Thanksgiving you were safe until the New Year in this business. Guess times have changed... ::)
 
Maybe "Prize Princess" is coming back...

;D

All I can say is, I bet Hannah is pissed! :-X

I heard Stu lost his grandmother yesterday as well, so I think Hannah is a little preoccupied... What a day for him, Stu is one of the good guys in this market and hope he'll land on his feet again soon. When it rains, it pours...
