More cuts at Cumulus/MB?

[BostonRandy]

Word is that longtime WDAI middayer Cee Cee Edwards, production director Denny James and morning workaholic Russ Argo are the latest to get their papers. Wow. Very sad if it's true.

Here's a late-breaking shocker:

WLFF (106.5 -The Coyote)/WJXY-WXJY-WIQB (ESPN The Team) PD Joey Dee is out as well. This is making me very ill.

There is trimming away the fat, there is cutting into muscle, and there is sawing into bone.

What's next, marrow? Total amputation?

I LOVE that Cumulus is committing suicide, cut by cut, decision by decision, move by move.

Keep it up guys!

/sympathies to the folks who lost their gigs; hope your time on the beach is short and productive.

And this is what we have gotten for total deregulation and letting corporate radio take over.

Amen to that, brother.

It is a sad fact of the economy. Cumulus like Sirrus/XM, Chrysler, etc...will be going the way of the wind! What goes around comes around. Next up maybe the "genius" format directors and then John and Lew can do it all.

Well, by my count, there are 4 "live" people in Cumulus/MB's programming building, not including traffic. With Op-X running things (and not smoothly, I might add), what's next? Regional multi-format PDs? I knew when I got out 14 months ago it was going to be bad - but not to this level. Radio has become the epitome of "all chiefs & no indians".

Discuss.....

It's too bad but I agree w/BostonR, radio is killing itself. I remember when radio was KING! Remember the 80's? Wish that would come back...
