Clear Channel axes talent nationwide

Mega-conglomerate Clear Channel axed about 590 jobs at stations nationwide yesterday. Locally, we know of one victim, 105.7 (KISS FM) program director Brian Anthony (hat-tip: Radio Online).

From Inside Music Media:

Clear Channel President and CEO John "The Chiropractor" Hogan has now completed an adjustment on his patient.

In one day (yesterday) -- 590 people were fired from Clear Channel. Add this to the 1,800 or so that were cleared out in January and all the "little firings" in between and you can see why Hogan has become the CEO (Chief Execution Officer).

A sad day in radio.

E.C. :)
