Today, I’m Thankful I Don’t Work For…
Wednesday, January 21st, 2009 by Fuzz(From The Sacramento Business Journal):
Media giant Clear Channel Communications Inc. on Tuesday told its employees it is cutting about 9 percent of the work force, a reduction that will affect all of the media company’s departments.
The San Antonio-based company, which has operations in radio, television and outdoor advertising, gave pink slips to 1,850 workers at its corporate offices, outdoor advertising and radio divisions, according to a memo from chief executive officer Mark Mays.
The company employs about 20,000 workers.
Clear Channel operates four stations in the Sacramento region.
Mays wrote in the memo that most cuts were in the sales department, but ultimately all operations were affected.
A representative for the company said in an e-mail response to questions that Clear Channel isn’t breaking down the cuts geographically or commenting beyond what is stated in the memo.

Tuesday, October 21st, 2008 by FuzzChristmas in November
Friday, November 2nd, 2007 by FuzzI don’t want to get on a soapbox, here, but there is a radio station in Milwaukee that is playing Christmas music already. There are a few things about this that really get my goat:
- They started playing the music November 1st. I thought, at first, they were just making a mockery of stations that start playing Christmas music earlier and earlier every year, but then realized that they were just making a mockery of themselves… and they were actually going to stick with it.
- The station in question only plays a nonsecular Christmas song once every couple hours. And… it’s usually the same tired version of Celine Dion singing, “O Holy Night.”
- Â There’s something to be said for being a first mover in a market… but whoring religion isn’t a great P.R. move. (of course, this will still end up working for them, monetarily.)
Again, you won’t hear Christmas music on my station until Thanksgiving. I’m sorry, but one month is as far out as I’ll start.
