Clear Channel Layoffs in Miami

F

FLjack2

From All Access:
Michael Yo is done with Y-100 after 12 years. (personally, I never liked his show. Elvis Duran and Ryan Seacrest are so much better.) Sounds like a generic fill-in guy right now.

Rich Minaya (aka Rich Michaels) is out from PM Drive at WIOD. I hear Jeff Katz on the air today. He was at WFTL briefly, then went to Boston for AM drive at a Clear Channel station. I think they changed format on the station and canned him. Not sure. I'm betting he was on the air today remotely. But the show was live and local.
 
Paul "Cubby" Bryant back on MIA mornings. Johnny and Nathalie out. Dj Sama also off the webpage. MIA is going downhill anyway after their revamp to "90's to Now" - I see a format flip by year end.
 
Wow...I actually liked DJ Sama....idiots....I just think Clear Channel is so pathetic

BUNCH OF IDIOTS.....god I wish I had millions, i'd be happy to run a station or two...I'd do a helluva lot better than them!
 
Nathalie was part of the news team on WIOD before WMIA. Is she still in the newsroom or has she "left the building?"

A customer of mine was bitc complaining about how she came this close to winning a big lottery jackpot, which got me wondering, what would I do with a few dozen $mega, buy radio properties?
 
What a load of Bull. CC has the money to buy up tons of radio stations but not enough money to run them?

Here you go CC an idea you might as well do: Start networks for about 10 formats you want to do, then plug them into the stations you own. You can always do drop ins every so often to fool the public into thinking you're live and local. Run all the networks out of San Antonio or wherever.

This slow death is getting old, just kill it and be done with it.

Nathalie is back anchoring in morning drive with Jimmy Cefalo.
 
Are DJ's who are not renewed, or 'let go', eligible to collect unemployment benefits ?

Just wondering how a transient DJ would make out. Move to Miami for a job, hold the job for almost 2 years, and then let go. Do you stay in Florida while looking for your next gig so you can collect? Then move once you land a gig somewhere else?
 
CC has been called Cheap Channel for years now. It's only gotten worse since Bain Capital and a similar firm started calling the shots. These Miami layoffs were part of a nationwide downsizing. Don't be surprised when the next round of station sales gets underway in earnest.

Oh, and nice timing, huh? Happy holidays once again, Clear Scrooges.

There isn't much money in Radio anymore. This isn't the 1960s anymore. Not a conspiracy, folks.

There's lots of money in radio, Mitch. Just not enough to satisfy the budgets of ultra-large corporate ownership as it stands today. An example: WTMI was Marlin's cash cow. Once Cox came in, and thus the fiscal context scaled upward, there's no way continuing the classical format would have made Cox's budgets even if they hadn't touched programming.
